    Fast and a ton of space finally. The only thing is the new Macbook Pros do not support USB so you'll need a converter to USB C.

    I have 2 4TB drives in this same series (using one to back up my Qnap NAS). I needed this 8TB to back u my growing data on the NAS. Works good and USB3.0 FAST.. The proprietary USB cable is included - and the only really NEGATIVE thing about these models (maybe so its to deter using a normal USB cable that is TOO LONG to ensure proper data transfer..? idk ?)

    Not as "good" as previous models

    We've been using and recommending the My Book series for years with great success. Recently, I needed to upgrade an older Seagate external drive so, when this went on sale, I bought one. Setup and installation went quickly and I set up a backup task to move folders from existing drives to this drive. After a couple of days, DriveDx began to show degraded drive performance. Not significant enough to warrant returning the drive but we'll monitor the drive's statistics closely. What makes it troublesome/concerning is that this degraded performance showed up within days of copying the files to the drive. We have smaller My Book drives on the same computer one of which is about 2 years old and the other about 4 years old. Neither have shown any degraded performance over the life of the drive.
