    Soooooooo slow. I mean sooooo slow!!!! It takes way too long to show up on my computer once connected, and then accessing my pictures (I’m a photographer so I use this for image backup) also takes an eternity! It’s like the little engine that couldn’t. So disappointed.

    8T is great storage. Just be aware is formatted in eFAT, so Windows 10 can't store an image here without reformatting first.
