    I'm seeing $296. Did you do anything special to get that price?

    • King Steuart on 09/05/2018 - 19:17

      Did you advance to checkout

    Would have thought this would be overkill a few years ago. Now, I'm not so sure with the titles you can quickly accumulate via Games With Gold.

    Does anybody know an easy way to figure out total size of all the games you own on your Xbox account (360 and Xbox One)?

    • Mooncakes on 09/05/2018 - 19:47

      My games and apps tells you (kinda) it'll show you the amount of storage remaining

      • cheepo on 09/05/2018 - 19:53

        Thanks Jetship. Was referring to the total games purchased and acquired free, including ones you haven't downloaded on the actual hard drive.

    • scuderiarmani on 09/05/2018 - 20:50

      It's never been overkill this generation.

    Can this be used as a normal hard drive?

    • photonbuddy on 09/05/2018 - 20:34

      The review linked below seems to be running popular Windows programs, and it seems to be a standard USB3 connection.

      There must ne a reason why it's ~$50 cheaper than the standard 8TB desktop unit that looks very similar.

      • geeluv on 09/05/2018 - 21:28

        Yeah, good point. Might be worth getting beyond the Xbox

  • giovannip on 09/05/2018 - 20:27

    Not bad for a barracuda pro 7200 rpm drive.

      These external HDDs don't have Barracuda Pro (ST8000DM0004, 7200rpm) drives in them. Instead, the drives they use are Barracuda Compute ST8000DM004 (has 1 less zero in the model number), which are 5400rpm SMR drives with multi-tier caching. Think of them as planar TLC SSD equivalents in the mechanical HDD realm. It's okay for bulk data storage, but can be slower than traditional HDDs. Write speed can suffer significantly if not enough time is given to the drive to flush the PMR cache and complete garbage collection in the SMR storage area. Also, these drive are not rated for 24/7 operation, so not a good match for NAS as well.

      See this (https://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktow…) for the model number and here (https://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/barracud…) for the datasheet.

        You are right, I am on my phone and did not zoom in. They just wrote barracuda pro and I went with it.

      • garetz on 10/05/2018 - 00:23

        The early ones did come with Pros, newer ones came with compute, but the latest ones may have compute or standard smr drives.

  • YellowKnight on 09/05/2018 - 20:30

    Does Officeworks price match Amazon?

      Depends on their mood.

      • ShiKu on 10/05/2018 - 06:35

        That and I'd say how you treat the staff when you go up to them.

    The drive looks almost as big as the Xbox One S!

  • syousef on 10/05/2018 - 09:29

    Seagate. No thanks. I buy a lot of drives. Failure rate of Seagate compared to all other brands is ridiculous. I just had a 2TB portable die on an Xbox last month. I am now avoiding Seagate at any price.

    • Trickey on 10/05/2018 - 10:51

      I would agree based on my experience 15 years ago but I haven't had a Seagate drive fail in the last 5 years where I've had 3 WD's kick the bucket. Either I've been very lucky or you're very unlucky. That said, 3 WD failures was certainly unexpected.

    Here are the features and specs of the Game Drive Hub.

    • Mainsail on 30/05/2018 - 23:50

      What is the difference other than colour to the standard 8TB Hub.
