Seagate Desktop 8TB External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STGY8000400)

We have analyzed 613 reviews and found:

29% of users say that: Product works well, works great, works, works fine. Seagate will be my last, is one of the best brands in external storage, is one of the top performers, has been a good name. Space is massive. Storage are great. 3% of users noticed that: Drive is running at 2, is too slow, got damaged, was junk. Computer was suddenly unable to find it, has to take a microsecond in between each moved file to change files, will not boot with this drive connected, is work issued. This drive is way behind on the mac side, is impossible to use, will not format. Cable is sucks.
