    Just purchased the product and I am so disappointed. I guess there is nothing wrong with it. As it seems to function as it should but this product makes a hard vibrating thumping. I thought it was something wrong and after verify with the manufacturer's site, its apparently normal for it to do that. I am also frustrated at the fact that it can not be plugged to a USB hub or added to my network USB extender or it can not be discovered. Its 8 TB the whole purpose of it was to have it as our network drive. We love movies and have a large collection of digital ones that we like to add to our drive and view from our computers, cell phones, tablets or TVs. This is the third drive I've purchased (first and last with this brand) and hadn't had previous problems so I didn't anticipate one now. I don't think I would recommend this drive to anyone.

  • Low Cost For Capacity

    For 8Tb capacity this external hard drive is inexpensive. Some complain about high operating temperature that may lead to earlier failure, I have not had it long enough to know if that will be the case. This ships with ExFat formatting. That is not compatible with bios on some computers. I reformatted it before using it.

    Always waiting for the hard drive to spool up. If I leave it alone for seconds, it will shut off and I have to wait for the drive to spin up again. Frustrating but I love the 8Tb size.
