I had a local Virgin internet and TV outage in my area last week for the best part of 24 hours. If I hadn't had my archive I would have had to talk to people. To hell with the cloud!

5,900 rpm. I would never buy from a retailer who doesn't know what they are selling, unless it gave a massive price saving of course. Same price at JL.
Decent drive though. Canvio 5TB has better performance and offers better value, certainly better speed.

These are intended as archival drives so keep that in mind for your intended use case. If you're dropping a lot of files on it which aren't going to be edited or accessed frequently it's ideal. If it's working storage where you'll be making edits and frequent access to files it's not the kind of use it's rated for.

Same price at Amazon and Flubit just gave me an instant offer of £196.99 (2% off, but more definite than TCB).
That said, 8TB is a lot of stuff to trust to one drive (unless this is a backup for another 8TB drive, obviously).
