This has been great
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Sometimes 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.

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

Great drive
|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Bought this for storage for PS4 games for my PS5. This is the most amount of gb you can use for the PS5 and I have about half the storage left, only issue is when the system turns off unexpectedly but that is a PS5 problem and not the drive. I highly recommend

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.
