    Purchased two of the 8tb drives to update my NAS as I was running out of room. Drives were complete and easy to install. I got them formatted and up an running without any issues. Not the quietest or fastest drives, but the offer great storage at a great price point.

    It is very fast. I use it primarily for storage of my premier projects and final vidoes. 10GB is large but now that I'm using it for my ATEM ISO projects, i may need to create a NAS system. I'm happy i didn't settle for a slower speed. Got it at a discount price saving $50. Using it as a stand alone Highspeed USB drive.

    Built a home server and needed a drive that could handle staying on and huge capacity. This baby is so far working well so far, but it has only been a month. Either way, I would recommend for server use. I mean it is designed for it.

    Bigger than a WD Passport but holds a lot. Needed one drive instead of multiple thumb drives & multiple passport hard drives. Newer model holds so much I can copy data & wipe/crush all the older hardware.
