    • Reading speed around 150, noisy and hot(over 62°C).. but work fine
    • So Far, So good... good speed for transfer
    • Otherwise great speed and so far no problems.
    • Speed is good too, peaking at a bit over 200MB/sec.
    • Very fast transfer speeds
    • Transfer files and backups are at very good speeds.
    • Fast access speeds, quiet as a mouse
    • Buyer beware, that with a rotating drive of this size the speed is significantly slower than a smaller drive.
    • Speed good enough for big video file.
    • Fast speed.
    • I wish the Touro would have been EOL.========I'm OK with them, the speed is good, the capacity/price is excellent (8TB).A little bit on the noisy site, but acceptable
    • Lots of space and great speed, no errors and no complaints.
    • This is not a fast read speed drive it is sufficient but after sitting idle it can take 30 secnor more to spin up and be ready for use
    • (USB3 being the clear speed winner)
    • Reading speed around 150, noisy and hot(over 62°C).. but work fine
    • great speed but takes too long to turn on
    • Works so far no problems used about 3.5 TB transfer speeds are not true USB 3.0 speeds but it does the job
    • So far, has worked well for my use, the case looks good and the speeds are good (120+ MB/s)
    • Easy transition, high speed, little maintenance
    • I've had it since February and I like the speed, but it constantly freezes when my iMac goes to sleep or into power nap mode and then carbon copy cloner can't do a back
    • I run backup once a month and let it run overnight, so speed is not an issue, at least for me.
    • Fast speed!!
    • but it might be that it is a faster HDD speed and that is where the noise and vibration comes from
    • using as my "internal" hard drive for my nvidia shield tv! fast speeds, quiet and cool! hoping it last a very long time
    • Great speed for plotting and for reading
    • If this is a frequent, common occurrence, the potential buyer should be told that the object may not do what s/he thinks it will do.
