    I picked this up for my PS4 Pro. I was surprised at quick the PS4 filled up. With an 8TB I'm sure I'll be fine for a bit.

    You definitely need this if you own a PS4 or Xbox. You won’t need to be deleting games just to have space. We haven’t had any problems with our hard drive & it was easy to set up.

    Basicly plug into USB port and power and away it goes. I would rate it as a 5 but when in use you can hear the drive turn since outside of tower, if a little noise doesn't bug you this is a great product.

    It takes a long time to fill this 8TB hard drive. That is a lot of data. The underling hard drive is a 5400. Rpm WD Red drive.
