How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

This has been great

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Sometimes 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.

A must own

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5If you tend to back up a lot of movie files this is a great drive for that purpose. It has a very good response rate in pulling up old data and have had no issues with this after owning it for more than a year. Just make sure to hit the eject media when disconnecting it from your PC.

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.
