Edit: Works with Mac and Windows (just a standard external HDD with a faint XBox logo on it)

Yeah, it would be enough of a risk to put me off - although the WD Black 'game drives' I got a couple of years ago were HC520's and were really fast, so you'd hope Seagate would be putting in premium drives as well for consoles.
Last gen game hub 8TB for Xbox is SMR I can confirm, no way the will put back CMR in this gen imo
Does it work with a PC or Mac? Need a power cord or not?
I'm using on my Mac right now
It’s a regular HDD it will work on anything once formatted appropriately.
Yes it will need a power cord.
Oh no, I hate external hard drive that needs a power cable…
I guess it's not for you then. You would struggle to find an 8TB SSD anywhere near that price
The problem, I never see any portable 2.5" HDD that is more than 8Tb. Is there any?
The good thing about 3.5" HDD, they usually faster than 2.5" HDD, even though they need external power
@esandjay: 2.5" drives only went up to 5Tb.
Having a power plug (or shucking and installing internally in your PC) are the much better options when you need speed - especially when dealing with terabytes of data.
@esandjay: 2.5" HDD generally max out at 5TB. You could buy an 8TB SSD, but that's $$$$$
I suppose it depends on just how portable you want your drive.
I know someone that has made up a bunch of Molex internal power connectors to the barrel power plugs most external drives use. This way, they only ever turn on if the PC is on.
Personally, I built a little rig out of wood that can store 5 external HDD's, and has 2 120mm fans to blow air through the drives, so they don't get hot. A switched 6 plug power board gives me enough points to individually switch all the drives, and switch the fans on as required.
LACIE got a 8tb drive external HDD, using 2x4Tb, but that's like $800+
Ironically it won't work with the current generation Xbox Series X games.
Might be why it's on special idk
Neg because $31.25/TB is pretty expensive…
Hopefully people don't think this is the Series S/X SSD drive
Not sure why the neg, it's really not a deal.
Needs to be under $22/23 TB
It's a portable drive. Quick search shows it Looks chepest out there
It is not a portable drive.
price now is $269
Ridiculous that someone would neg this deal. If it was on Amazon it would be an all time low!
https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B08Y1Q7G1ZJust because it's cheaper doesn't make it a good deal. This does nothing any stock standard 8Tb drive wouldn't do, and as Spackbace pointed out above it's a lot more expensive per Tb.
There are much cheaper methods to adding green LEDs to your peripherals
you can get a CMR WD 8TB drive below $200 from usual deals though
SMR THO
