## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the 8tb version be used on a lan?**
A: Yes ...and no. This is an external USB 3.0 drive. It's meant to connect directly to your PC via USB.
You can use it on a LAN, but only if you have an external drive usb port on your router specifically for this purpose, (or alternatively just sharing the drive from within windows explorer). If you are aiming for consistent speed and performance to PC's and other devices on a LAN then you should buy a NAS drive.
NAS drives are designed exactly for this purpose, and connect to your router via ethernet.

**Q: Does anyone have any idea why this drive refuses to work with my xbox one as an external media drive? all works until you put more than 2tb of data on**
A: Can it still be fully used on xbox one x at 8GB or does it do the same?is it a limit on expansion drives for media but not games???

**Q: Can you store twitch videos on it?**
A: Sorry don’t know but you can store most things.

**Q: Can the 8tb version be plugged into a tv to play media files?**
A: Sorry. I do not know. I just use it for backing up my laptop and storing documents and photos.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and worth the price
*by F***E on 8 July 2025*

Awesome works well for ps4

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8TB Seagate drive provides ample storage and fast transfer speeds in a reliable unit.
*by I***N on 21 January 2022*

I purchased two 8TB Seagate hard drives and they are both fantastic. Sorry to read so many people had problems with these drives. If I have a problem in the future, I will update this review with a full report. But, for now, the 8TB Seagate hard drives are super and make a wise investment.A little tip for you. No matter how reliable a hard drive is, and, no matter other people’s positive experience, one cannot guarantee the retention of data. Mechanical failures do and will happen at some point. Thus, if your data does not exist in two separate places, your data does not exist at all. Even if corrupted data does not cause loss of data, a theft or a fire would also render your data useless.I have been a fan of Seagate hard drives for over two decades. And, as a result, I have purchased similar hard drives in the past. More than a dozen. I have been fortunate enough never to experience hard drive failures with this brand.Despite my luck and considering the aforementioned, I purchased a couple of drives. One to keep on site and one to keep off site.The Good+ The drives are whisper quiet. This is important to me. I find the crunching, grinding and popping of some modern drives annoying and unnecessary. If you like quiet operations, be confident that the drive works almost silently, even under load.+ Transfer speeds read/write are on average between 150 MBps and 200MBps. I use USB 3.0 and achieved these speeds through a lot of trial and error. I have a couple of PCI cards, and noted that if I had drives connected to one PCI card, it would reduce the transfer speeds by half. This issue is most likely related to power. Thus, I opted to use two PCI cards for each hard drive.The Bad- While purchasing an 8TB, you only get a reported 7.2TB. This is because hard drive manufacturers use the accurate description of the terms. The prefix giga, for instance, means a power of 1000. Whereas the correct term for powers of 1024 is gibibyte, though it isn’t often used. Computers, in-particular Windows, has always calculated hard drives as powers of 1024. While hard drive manufacturers use powers of 1000.- On previous models, and possibly other models less than 8TB, there was a physical power switch at the back of the drive. This allowed easy power down, to give the drive a break or put into an idle/archive status without wear. That physical button is no longer present. This results in you either having to turn the drive off at the mains or to disconnect the power cord.Despite these points, the good outweighs the bad. The value is remarkable. And, the drive comes with a 2 year warranty, which seems reasonable. But, as an added precaution, I also purchased an extended 3 year warranty in case failure occurs.I hope you found my review useful and that it helped you make an informed buying decision.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast reliable and cheap storage...
*by P***S on 18 March 2019*

I bought 4 of these... 2 to store stuff, and two more to act as back-ups (if you're going to store upto 8TB of data, you really need to back it up in case the disk fails and all disks will one day fail as they have moving parts)...I store all my family photos and family videos etc. in RAW formats, not jpeg so one photo can easily be 100MB or more, and 4K family videos are usually several Gigabytes big, so I need the storage, and that means two drives, to upgrade from the dozen or so smaller drives I presently use!I ripped open two of the cases, and placed them inside my PC case, and they work great. Formatted to 64k per sector and the first drive took about 12 hours or so each to fill when attached via SATA cable, but flippin heck gov'nor it was worth it... The second drive only has about 1TB on it at the moment, that filled in less than 2 hours...The first back up to the 2 back-up disks via USB 3, took about twice as long as it did when the drives are connected inside the PC via SATA, but it was still relatively fast, and all done by the time I got home from shopping...I now have years worth of storage, and a great back-up solution. Great drives!
