    Great hard drive, easy to use, easy to set up. We use this as a back for our backup, and at 8tb, it should last us a while.

    Picked this up on Christmas Holiday Sale Priced. Not sure how you could beat the price for 8TB. Back-up software is simple and the same for the small 2TB to the 8TB..

    This is an excellent hard drive, huge capacity and great speed. I have it attached to a QNAP NAS and when not in use it goes into sleep mode. Will buy another soon.

    It's pretty hard not to give a 5 stars. It does what is advertised. Plug it in and play. In case you had concerns, it will require the external power supply. This is a full sized HDD and USB power isn't enough. Real life usable space isn't 8TB, but it's more than enough for the average consumer. If it's on sale, pick one up, back up everything, and forget about it.

    I know what I bought and I knew before I bought the HDD. But I was quite disappointed to see "USB 3.0" and find it's the old style. Besides that this is a great drive! I have it formatted as a backup/additional storage to my MAC mini and it works great! Really fast and of course has a ton of space! I finally have all my pictures, videos and music all on one drive!!
