[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a huge Google take out project involving many years of photographs on my Google photos albums. Over the years, some of the photos or duplicated from backup hard drives being made connected to Google Photos
I'm using this 8 terabyte drive to help download 52 zip files of my entire Google photos including videos. The drive has been a huge success at holding all of these files. During the process, python script help me remove duplicate photos into a temporary garbage folder 1/2 the size of the unzip folder.
This hard drive is compatible with my Microsoft Windows pro.
It definitely can handle the huge task at hand it has been very reliable.
Before I delete my garbage folder I have the task of spot checking some of the duplicates before having Google's API assist with labeling each folder before reuploading to Google Photos.
I am really thankful for this external SSD. This whole process has been over 48 hours. File swapping and running around 98% on the performance tab. Definitely, Very reliable.
I will definitely be purchasing a 2nd in the near future for other photo and video projects
