    Its a good sized external hard drive for backups. I changed my mind about it because of a lack of usb 3. Never got to open the package.

    It's working great, but I do notice that it's a little loud. I can hear it a lot even when everything is off. But like I said, it works great!

    Using this strictly as a redundant backup, so clearly not pushing it, but it works fine.

    Good price foe 8tb.. make sure not to reply on a single backup though. Always have an alternative e.g. cloud ,second hard drive or NAS.
