Review: The ultimate external HDD for making backups - Works great and is very easy to set up. Quite noisy and you can feel the ticks within my desk. You have to use the enclosed PSU (not a generic 12v HDD PSU) because it uses a lot more power than other HDD's, but of course, 26TB means you can give away all those old units! The PSU comes with a variety of pin adaptors for every plug on the planet, including EU, UK, Oz and US. I have purchased this purely to backup my main file server and store it off site. To initially copy 21TB took about 30 hours and once initially copied, the weekly update takes about 15 mins, so quite nifty and perfect for my application. I personally, would not use this as a permanently connected drive, its a bit too big, noisy and clunky (and of course 26TB is way beyond a USB connection!), a built in drive is better for speed, power, ventilation, vibration proofing etc. and this drive is probably the ultimate for being able to transport that data in a safe secure manner. You will need something with lots of memory to connect to it because chances are that 26TB of data will probably be over a million files! Make sure windows is set to 'Not indexed' and your anti virus scanner is configured to 'not check' when connected because something this large in capacity takes hours not minutes (and my PC is 5.6 Ghz, 32G RAM so no slouch!)
Review: 8TB FOR 4K OR 8K UHD MEDIA - Firstly, the HDD cleared customs in approx. 8 hours, and arrived a day early, happily. It reads/writes at approx 40MB/s MAX, averaging around 35 to transfer a lengthy media file, in the 8TB Version, which has 7.27 TB of usable file space on it. Its not too big, the plastic case had a film on it, and the wires are adequate to sit at the PC or TV. It was plug and play with no need to format or worry about getting the HDD recognized by the system. It is easy to carry and move and would fit in most carry cases. Its jet black and moderately shiny and has an LED built in above the power port on top to show its active. I'm confident this drive should last me 10 years or more and will be a fantastic addition to my digital library. I played a UHD 4K video and it operated at a peak of 10%, mostly negligible usage. Although its not the fastest HDD you can get, I consider this very good value for money and a high quality product. You can plug this in your TV and play videos or music easily enough since its not USB powered which is a nice bonus.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this connect and run with a new Mac Studio**
A: It has front-facing USB-C and USB 3.0 ports for connections. 
Your Mac Studio has Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports. 
So the answer is a it will definitely connect to your Mac but you may need to format it for the use you intend to put it to.

**Q: Can I use this to save videos from a camcorder?**
A: It depends on the camcorder and the cables you have available. The camcorder will be able to write directly onto the hard drive if it is connected while the recording is taking place.

**Q: Can i use this for PS4 pro?**
A: Yes this can be used with a ps4 pro

**Q: I would like to know if you can store playstation 5 games on to this Drive**
A: I do not own a PS5, sorry, but having had a look, I believe that this would work for a PS5 though.
You can run PS4 games directly from an external drive on PS5.
You can store PS5 games on the external drive too.
But to play PS5 games I believe you will have to move/copy the games from the external drive to the internal one.
For PS5 games the external drive is only a storage drive, saving downloading the game every time you want to play it.
When you are short of space on your main/internal drive, you can make space by moving some games from internal to external.
Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic HDD drive all round and solid read/write speeds. Good value for money and very reliable!
*by M***G on 25 September 2025*

A solid HDD drive with a massive storage space. I've been buying Seagate HDD's for a long time and they have never failed me. I trust the brand and this purchase was no different. Easy to use, just plug and play and the drive is pre-formatted in NTFS. The write speeds are solid at 100-150 MB / Second and the read speeds are quite good too. Have a number of 4K resolution videos and ton's of photos which I have stored on the drive and experienced no lag in reading them from the drive.
