    I had my own business doing contracting work for other attorneys. This meant I had to ensure two things. First, I never mixed the work-product and confidential documents of one client with those of another, and second, that I did not lose them. I used a laptop for my day to day running around meeting people, doing research, and other work. I used this hard drive as a backup so that I always had everything safely backed up safely at home, both on my home desktop and also on the hard drive. I never lost a document that I was responsible for and I never lost the massive amount of research I had done and would have hated having to redo.

    After PS4 started allowing for external HDD support, I began to research to find a good fit. 8TB is the largest that PS4 will support per that recent update, and this has proven to be a very solid performer... highly recommended.

    SUPER fast backups. PMR NOT SMR like > 5tb seagate external drives. Drive inside CAN be taken out and used inside as it is either a WD RED NAS drive OR it is the same drive but Enterprise Version. Why would ANYONE not want to use this even for backups would be beyond me. Best Buy has improved greasily and will see a lot more purchases from me.
