We have it connected to our RAID and it has been working seamlessly. Very large capacity. Runs silent. Runs cool. It’s a great unit for extra protection and the price is very nice.

I bought two of these external hard drives to store my pictures on to replace two 5 TB Seagate drives. I have never had a Seagate hard drive fail and these seem like they will be more of the same. The USB 3.0 hubs are also an advantage. The new Seagate Toolkit is much better than the Seagate Dashboard that came with my older drives and it also works on my 5 TB drives. Seagate is an excellent option for storage.

I use this backup plus to store large point clouds of 3d scans

plenty of room (for now) of files

I bought 2 of these and one of the Mac ones. The Mac one had the multi-adaptor for power, but this one only has a power adapter for the US, which means more outlay of cash just to be able to use the drives.

easy to set up with MAC Lots of memory excellent

Hooked it up a week ago. Was recognized by computer immediately. The real test is how long it lives, but so far, its an excellent value for the money.

The 2 ports were an added bonus.

I got this because my current 3TB drive had reached its max for all the movies stored on it. This has worked out great so far and I’ve used it to dump lots of music and photos on it as well. We like to watch movies through our Apple TV with it and so far I’ve seen zero issues. Great price and lots of storage as well. Not very noisy either. I would definitely buy another if needed.

Took it out of the box and started up. Downloaded Mac softfware and was up and running. Very fast compared to all the other products in the past I have purchased. Came with USB 3 to 2 connector which I needed. Quiet, super soft hum.

I bought a back up for this backup. It makes an incredible amount of noise, but I guess this is to be expected with an actual moving hard drop. (remember it’s not an SSD). I haven’t had any problems with it, but it’s just noisy.
Silas Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
Bought this because of it’s capacity and as a desktop backup of a large number of portable drives. Plug and play, works great with the Mac with no issues.

Very good. Excellent product.

We bought this hard drive for our high speed internet but it would drop service and we would have to reboot it or sometimes it just didn’t work at all!

Drive is fast. However, you can hear the hard disk performing read and write operation. Other than that I am happy.
Walter Barrows (verified owner) –
The drive seems to work well (I have two Seagate 4TB USB pocket drives that have worked well so far for a couple of years) but I was surprised that there is no On-Off switch on this 8TB units. So I often hear the disk spinning even when it hasn’t been in use for quite a while. Maybe it’s not a big deal, but I mention it just as an FYI.

Who doesnt need more USB ports! I partitioned one TB for TimeMachine and 3 TB for storage. So far so good as it sits there quietly doing what its designed to do.
