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.

Great price for storage
|Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Great price for the storage. It works great for me and seems very sturdy. I have another Seagate external hard drive which I like so that lead me to get this one. I have had a couple of hiccups with the use of this however. I formatted it to work for both PC and Mac (the same as I did with my other Seagate external hard drive) but it does not show up when I plug it into my Mac. I would try reformatting it but I already have too many files stored on the harddrive to offload to do that. So that has been inconvenient. Also there was a problem with it also not reading on my PC, and it turned out it needed to be unplugged from the power for a time and then connected to power for it to work again. No harm was done, but I had to dig around on the internet to figure out that was the issue because I had assumed it just got corrupted or something, so that is something to be aware of.

Quick and easy to add TONS of storage
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've had really good luck with Seagate drives and anticipate the same with this. It's a LOT of storage for videos, photos, music, data - you name it. When you consider the per-gigabyte price it's a great value as well. Easy to set up with included AC power adapter and USB cable.

Excellent value and works as described.
|Posted .Features
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.
