this is an SMR drive, don't use it for anything but mostly one time recording of data, sort of like a quasi dvd or blu ray write. Once you rewrite these it has layers it rewrites on top of each other and is super slow and it erodes that lifespan of the newer data (and older layered data). Look online for an exos drive or similar that is not SMR if you can.

Also, HD pricing sucks. I bought a similar Seagate, also 8tb, from Costco in 2022 for $129.

Decent deal IMO; especially considering that the drive can be used as a USB hub and comes with a 2 year warranty. (Glad Seagate upped their game and improved from only offering 1 year for externals).

I think you can daisy chain these as well. For example; If you already have an external drive connected to your PC you can add this drive as a middle man in the chain without sacrificing a USB 3 port on your system.

So this is self-powered (eg 2.5" drive inside?)?

Oh, weird. Some of their others call out the power supply as included but I only saw USB cable with this one. Looked again and saw the power port on the box (though it also seems to have esta (is that still a thing?).

Repped! for the reply. Thanks.

I love Costco. If only I could get them to ship free from my warehouse I would never leave my home. 😜

Was just thinking the same thing, unfortunately Costco stopped carrying those 5TB portable and and 8TB external drives.

On my god. Costco is amazing. Every time I go there my little European mind just explodes. It is the reason Russia will never win 😀

I don't think there's eSATA on it. There's USB-C and USB 3 ports on front for additional "hub" ports to connect additional devices to PC. The rear is power port and USB port to connect enclosure to PC.
