    One of the best 8 TB drives you can get. Verified to have the "Red NAS" model that is highly sought after. Very reliable, suited for heavy duty 24/7 use.

    A bit glitchy

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While its size is impressive and it was on sale for a good price. I found that something is happening frequently when im using it for external storage on my ps4. It either freezes my game and i have to pull the plug or it says the data has been corrupted and would i like to repair the storage, saying yes gets me past it and it loads my games. So far i havent lost games or data but thus far it has not been a glitch free experience. I never experienced anything with anything failing to load before but since using it for storing games this happened at least four times over the first month its been in use. Maybe its not up to par for gaming. Just hoping it holds out...

    I stripped these a few of these down and put the bare drives in a personal storage server. Have lasted me over a year with no issues so far.
