Great drive. Works perfectly. No fan means dead quiet performance. Read more

大量のデータを扱うので購入。 製品に付いていたTYPE-Cケーブル、TYPE-A変換コネクタを使用しデータをコピー。。。しかし、何か遅い…？？？ ベンチマークをとったところ外付けHDDより遅い(汗) 初期不良かと思いコネクタを差し替えてみると速い。。。 TYPE-A変換コネクタを使用すると本体側に挿すときに「表裏」があるみたい(汗) ﾏｼﾞ Read more

More than enough capacity for complete home office. Am using as a primary storage for documents/pictures/music with iDrive for backup but could see it used as a high-capacity backup drive. Decided to stop using OneDrive and Google Drive and easily accommodated what I had on those services. No lag issues with drive access. Runs a little bit hot. No noise whatsoever. Read more

今までは、Samsungの８TB内蔵SSDをSSDケースを別に買って入れていました（これはバスパワーで使用できます）が、多少信頼性が高いかも、とか、少しは早いかも、と思い、こちらを購入してみました。しかし届いた箱が大きく重い！ 開けてみたら本体も重い上に電源別、後悔しています。 Read more

Addressing the elephant in the room, this external requires its own power supply, it cannot simply run off of being connected to a computer. As uncommon as that is today, you should know it before purchasing and if that’s a deal breaker then you need a different external device. If that’s not an issue for you then I would highly recommend this drive. For me, the only limitation is bringing this drive in the field or maybe using It at an airport, which I personally wouldn’t do anyway. It’s not inconvenient to bring it from home to the office or using it in a hotel and even a lot of coffee shops have plugs near tables today. It simply depends on where you are going to need to use it. I use the 8tb with my MacBook Pro to house all of my 100K+ image library for Lightroom and Photoshop work. For the past several years I have shot with a Sony a7R III and Canon R5, both produce large raw files and editing them through this drive, especially complex edits, has been much faster than my prior drives. I do not do any video work, so I cannot speak to how well it would perform, but I would expect very well. The drive is responsive and fast, and (fortunately) I have not suffered from any connection issues. For a “portable” ssd it is on the chunky side, definitely not pocketable, but when sitting on my desk or a hotel bedside table I wouldn’t consider it oversized or inconvenient. I do think it is a bit too pricey, but currently, the options for an 8tb external ssd are limited. If you need (or just want) a large capacity external ssd I would highly recommend this drive, especially if you are considering using it as I do, to carry an image library and run edits through it.
