    I would probably not recommend something like that, since...

    1) Seagate doesn't have the best track record these days
    2) 8TB is a lot of data to store in one place without something like RAID1 or RAID5 to save your ass when the drive dies

    If you want that much storage it may be time to look into a RAID5/6 NAS or something along those lines, but to be fair, that would be much more expensive.
    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.
