Pros and cons

According to our external hard drive HDD expert

Lots of storage space: you can store large files, games, and backups without having to free up space all the time thanks to the 8TB storage capacity.
A permanent spot on your desk: you can place the HDD securely next to your computer thanks to its 3.5-inch size.
Protect your files: your sensitive files stay better protected thanks to password protection and data encryption.
Less portable: you can take this hard drive with you less easily because of its 3.5-inch size.

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!
