8TB WOW!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up during the 20 days of Christmas sale, best thing ever if you use it to store all your downloaded games on XBox1. Main reason for purchase was due to the lack of space for newly purchased games. Fast, economical, and efficient.

Works as great extra storage for my samba and plex
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Resonable price for large capacity, works well with samba and plex, can be used as an internal drive is you are willing to open the case Cons: None at this time. I am using this as a storage drive fro my home samba server and plex tv server. So far it is fantastic. It is reachable over the network via shar and gives me 7.75 TB of storage. Which makes me happy. The price for it at the time was good so I am happy with the purchase. I bought this particular drive because if I want I can take it out of it's shell and use it as an internal drive.
I would recommend this to a friend Okay use on Mac
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't work well with Mac computer even after downloading additional drivers. After 4 or 5 data transfers, it stops recognizing the files (both stored and new transfers), and I need to restart the computer. Fine for PC, but a pain with Mac.
