    Ive had a lot of external hd's in the past, and recently jumped in to buy this because i wanted to use it as a media device on my network. 8TB is a lot of space.. only thing i dont like is the spin up time, it takes a bit to open. not too long, but i wish that time could be reduced. anyways its been reliable so far. no complaints.

    I bought this to use as external storage for my ps4. It does the job. It gave my a nice 8TB buffer to my current storage. It was easy to install and setup and I had no issues with it.

    This 8TB drive is virtually silent while running and lightning fast over USB 3. I have two aging 4TB drives where I keep all of my data stored. A NAS drive would likely be a better option as I do redundant backups of irreplaceable data like photos of my children growing up and other highly treasured data. However, I’ve read too many horror stories of home NAS boxes failing and bricking all enclosed drives in the process, even if the drives were removed and tried elsewhere. So, I use two independent external drives and this drive fits the bill perfectly. With two of them running, you barely hear a thing. Copying nearly 4TB of backed.up data was effortless and fast. Throughput speeds are very nice. I’ve had no issues with the drive and it comes pre-formatted in NTFS. I use it with Win 10.

    I've run into some problems with the application that it comes with. It constantly opens the admin Ui to ask permission to make changes on the computer. It also occasionally keeps the computer running and making noise after the computer has been put to sleep.
