Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For playstationSometimes with tech things just don’t work... this has been a pleasant experience. I was fill with such joy to plug this into my PS4. The PlayStation expanded the space I could use and just works. Haven’t had any issues. It does need power from the outlet. Which wasn’t a big deal for me, I’m not planning to ever move it.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5After much searching I found this 8 TB external hard drive to be the best value for the money. You can save all your work, photos, videos, etc on here in case your main computer is stolen or self destructs. It give me peace of mind knowing I won't lose my work. You must back up every few days so your important data is not at risk of being lost.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the 8TB expansion external drive and the 8TB backup external drive?
Asked by Ashman.
- A:Answer This Expansion drive does not have a USB hub built in like the backup drive does. Also the backup drive states it comes with backup software. So, no hub & no backup software.
