[4 TB] I am a professional videographer and editor and my editing system is set up so I can fly effortlessly on it. However, because some of my peripherals are supported by older OS it is difficult to find external drives that are supported by an older OS as well as still have FW800 ports. OWC ticked both boxes so I bought an 8TB version hoping that it will have enough space to last a couple of years. I just finished editing a 2-month editing project with about 300GB of greenscreen, video of different codecs and a fair amount of compositing. The drive has performed flawlessly. I wanted to dock it one star because this thing is noisy...disconcertingly so. I was backing everything up every day to other drives in case this one crashed. If I moved the drive slightly, the vibrating noise would go away but come back. After a while, I realized the drive was not going to crash but never got used to all the buzzing and humming. I gave it 5-stars regardless of the noise because while all the other manufacturers assume all us users buy a new computer system every year, OWC realizes that there are a lot of older systems still out here being used and making money despite ever-tighter profit margins so kudos to them for that! 5

[3.61 lb] So far a great hard drive. An easy plug and play on my Mac. My last drive a Fantom only lasted for two years (with a one year warranty). So I was very happy to see the three year warranty that this came with. 5
