Just bought this as storage for excess files etc.from my laptop. Worked right out of the box. Registration with Seagate was simple and easy - even instructed me on how to format the drive since I use Mac. It comes with USB3 cable and a power pack for external power. The drive itself is small, easily fits on my desk and integrated into my workflow incredibly easy. Transfer of files is incredibly fast - what with the USB 3 which makes transferring of large amounts of data easy and quick. The drive is a little noisy - not that it detracts from things, but you know when it is copying files (which I am totally okay with). Other than that - this is a great drive - can't beat the price for 8 TB of storage and Seagate is certainly one of the better hard drive manufacturers :)

I own two previous Seagate externals, one of which is almost a decade old and still works like new. I use them everyday, so they've proven to be extremely reliable. Solid brand. As for this drive, I've never owned such a large capacity HD like this one but I trust Seagate's quality. The drive is small and runs quietly. I haven't yet noticed any alarming increases in it's temperature either, after it's been running for several hours and transferring hundreds of gigs of data onto it. The data transfer rate is okay (30-50mb/s) but large transfers understandably can take longer. Data transfer rate can be significantly increased (I've seen up to around 130-150mb/s) if you configure the drive's policy and enable write caching but I don't bother, nor is it recommended. All in all, it does it's job well. I'm satisfied.Read full review

Even if I generally don't buy Seagate hard drive anymore (they don't last as western digital does) I got this one cause it was a very good price for lots of terabytes. I'm only using it to store things I don't use regularly so its OK. The item is silent enough and the case looks nice too! Hopefully this time it will last!!!

This is my favourite external hard drive. I have other hard drives but this one is the best. Large memory capacity. Super quiet. Great price. Definitely needed when you have a large movie collection in the Cloud and you need a back up copy.
