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.

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.

It’s good and fast, but it gets too hot

High capacity SSD at a reasonable price. I got the read/write speeds as advertised!!! I’m using it specifically to access very large sound libraries for music production and for Lightroom photo editing and archiving.

As a DJ, it is a must to store your music in a master location! This 8TB will be my master music warehouse! You can't to afford to lose music, period!

Disconnects itself often, runs hot, and transfer speeds haven't held up. Not seeing more than 300mb/s. I have a feeling it won't last long before dying- I'm going to return it. Can't risk that much money for a bad product.

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

So I'm one of those weirdos who likes having as much of their game library installed as possible. So when the PS5 came out I brought an 8TB external drive full of PS4 games over with me. There wasn't really anything wrong with the drive per se, but a 5400RPM mechanical drive with a USB 3.1 connection leads to loooong wait times when you're shuffling around game files, especially when you just want to put aside a massive PS5 install to make room for a new game. 3/4 ports on the PS5 are USB 3.2 10gbps ports, so faster should be possible, right?Enter this little guy, and it is PERFECT. When I started transferring files over from my old external it took about five hours to transfer 2.2 TB from my old mechanical USB 3.1 external to my installed M.2. It took less than two to transfer them to the new drive. 2.5 times faster. Not even CLOSE. Going by maximum limits it should actually have been many times faster, but Sony's data transfer utility has always been slow, this is nothing new, been like that since the PS3.With a 1000 mb/sec maximum sequential read and 900 mb/sec sequential write (sourced from Sandisk's website), this little guy actually exceeds the maximum theoretical speed of USB 3.2 Gen 2 (1250 mb/sec). Which is good, as it means the drive is no longer a bottleneck. It will read or write data as fast as the system can move it through the port. End result: much faster file transfers, and an appreciable bump to load times. Not quite what you'd get moving the game to either the onboard drive or an M.2 in the expansion slot, but in testing old faithful: Bloodborne, which on PS4 on a mechanical drive could have load times anywhere from 20 seconds to over a minute, it's close enough I don't feel compelled to move my PS4 games internally before playing them anymore just to try and save some time staring at loading screens.Could you get faster? Well uhh....not really. You could put a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD in an enclosure and use that, but that would be considerably more expensive, and you'd be so bottlenecked by the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port that it would run at....exactly the same speed as this drive. You would need Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt to get faster, but those aren't found on any game console. Yet, anyway.This baby hits a sweet spot for big, fast, external SSD storage that will make full use of the available system ports, but isn't so fast it's overkill for the purpose. All of that taken together makes this the absolute best option available for an external drive for your PS5.That said it is still an 8TB SSD so it's not cheap, but it's on sale frequently and split payments are available (or they were for me anyway). I strongly recommend making use of them to help mitigate the cost.

Bought this to store my 5Gb+ photography collection of images yet to be processed….Fast, nice form factor/design, quiet (no moving parts I don’t think) and lots of storage space. Time will tell whether it will have the durability for long term storage. For now, I’m quite happy with it and can recommend if you can afford - it’s not cheap!
