    I own an older one of these already and had to jump on this deal. The last one has lasted for over 5 years. Went through a few Seagates since then. The drive is fast and has a lot of cool software that comes with it.

    I had this for ps4 (four) and it was an amazing investment. Do not buy for the PS5 (five), that runs on a much more sophisticated SSD where as this is compatible with the ps4(four) HD

    This hard drive was just what I needed for archiving old projects and documents. Compatible with my MAC and Windows machines. Lots of storage space for not that much money!

    Got 2 of these on the 'usual' discount. Haven't checked which drive is enclosed but I'm not worried. Once I get 2 more I can start my unRAID or similar, till then though it'll sit as and serve as my media storage.

    Works great as a backup drive for my iMac

    It's big (8TB). It runs (ticking and spinning drive sounds). It stores data (my backups). It works with my computer (Late iMac 2012). It's been running for a while (5 months). It's nothing special, but it just works. Get it!

    I am replacing a 2TB version of the same drive that I have been very happy with. This much capacity for the cost will allow me to add many custom backups in addition to the regular backups that use this drive. Impressive.

    Got this for a great price during Black Friday sale! 8GB feels like you can store anything and everything! I like the speed and the brand. Like with any hard drives, it's important to handle them delicate so as to not lose data.

    This is my second 8tb Easystore drive. I have a need to use these with large media file backups and so far they have worked out great. They had them for sale at an extremely attractive price so I couldn't pass the deal up.

    So far so good, but usable space is 7.27 TB

    I like the smaller footprint, the large amount of storage, and the fast USB 3 speed, but just so would-be buyers know, usable space is 7.27 TB not 8. Identifying it as 8TB is somewhat stretching it. I would buy it again though.

    I use this hard drive for, as far as you know, legally storing movie files that I paid for through a legitimate file-sharing medium, such as - but not necessarily - iTunes. It's a hard drive, so what else is there to say?

    Needed to back up personal files from a laptop and also my personal desk top computer. Lots of pictures so needed lots of storage. 4TB would have been enough but it was just a few dollars more to get 8TB. Backup software worked fine.

    I was amazed at how fast I filled up a 4TB drive so time to upgrade. This 8TB external is just a beast. WD Red under the hood. Just perfect for a 24x7 setup. Getting it on sale, for less than the bare drive, was most excellent!

    Bought this during one day sale for $129 to use for my Xbox, works great so far. Only had it a week so who knows how long it will last. Could last 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years, as with all hard drives only time will tell.

    I purchased this as a gift and wish I had purchased a dozen. The following week the price shot up by more than $50... I'll wait for the next one.
