    I purchased this as a Deal of the Day, I have 6 TB of data to backup, and this 8TB external was the perfect way to do it. The software was easy to install and setup. How does it restore backups? Who knows, haven't had to do that yet, hopefully I won't have to.

    This is a desktop external hard drive, which means it requires being plugged into the wall to work. That being said, transfer speeds seem to be faster than those of the smaller portable hard drives, which do not require being plugged in.

    NOT PlayStation 4 Compatible

    I literally bought this for my Playstation 4 to use as a second drive to have my video games loaded and saved on. This drive is actually 8.1 TB which is actually not a bad thing at all but i gave this a 1 star so you can read this if you want to use it for the PS4. My rating is only based on that i do not need it for my MacBook.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Yes, it was plug and play. I could probably wish for something a bit faster, but since it is a back-up device that runs while I'm asleep zzzzzzz

    Worked exactly as expected. Just plug it in and it is available, with USB 3.0 speeds. About 10x faster than USB 2. Needed to copy data to it, to ship out to a data recovery company. Worked great for our intended use.
