Pros and cons

According to our external hard drive HDD expert

With 8 terabytes of storage, you’ll always have enough space for your largest files, programs, games, backups, and media.
Thanks to its large size, you can place the HDD securely next to your computer.
Your sensitive files are better protected with password protection and data encryption.
You can’t take this large HDD with you as easily as a 2.5-inch HDD.

Description

You can store all your large files on the WD My Book 8TB. This external hard drive has 8TB of storage capacity. That means you can save over 2 million photos, 200 hours of 4K movies, and backups. The 3.5-inch hard drive stands securely on your desk, so you can use it comfortably in one spot. Your files stay better protected thanks to the protected memory. This lets you encrypt your data and set passwords for your documents.

Good enough

Goes fast
Small format
Sometimes he needs to wake up

Read and write speed is fine, better than my Synology NAS. Streaming .mkv files (blu ray rips of 30 gb) is also nice. A lot of space. Downloading to this disc is sometimes problematic...it seems like he needs to wake up before he writes it.

Ideal for connecting to ps4

Works with PS4
Easy to connect
Quiet

Since the playstation 4 was already full of games after half a year, I needed expansion. I was first looking for a Seagate Drive specifically for ps4, but it was out of stock, so I went for this one. Since the terabyte of the ps4 was quickly full, I immediately opted for 8 terabyte and I have not regretted it yet. Connecting was very easy and it works perfectly with the ps4. We can continue for a while!
