Large storage that is excellent for PC backups

I needed a lot of space for raw photo files on remote photography trips and 4 terrabytes should be plenty. I’ve had good luck with Seagate and use them for my RAID system backups. This portable drive comes in a small package but isn’t as shock proof as a Lacie so I purchased a Ruggard case to hold it while traveling. I’d prefer an SSD but a comparable drive would be too expensive for my needs. So far so good.

This drive is backwards compatible with the old 2.0 USB drives. I have been using it on an old laptop, and I have not experienced any problems.

Super slow and constantly stop working!
Joshuah Sipes (verified owner) –
Exactly what I needed. Works as expected.
Paris Ryan (verified owner) –
Incredibly smaller than my previous 5TB drives, which is a definite plus, and very quiet. As a photographer, 99% of my data is in photos and I found the transfer to be equally fast as other USB 3 drives. Price was the best I found anywhere for 5 TBs so crossing fingers that it holds up well.

I use drives like this to store video files of customers Scanned 8/16mm movies, video tapes, and photos, etc. They are price effective and accomplish the job. So far I have not experienced any problems.

I had many external hard drives but the Seagate was easy to install and use and was very fast uploading files.
Alisha Kozey (verified owner) –
It did the trick and I’m satisfied with the purchase. It was bought at a reasonable price. Fast service!
Shaun Schuppe (verified owner) –
So far I have had zero problems with this drive. Formatting it for Mac was super quick and easy. What more can I say about a hard drive besides that fact that it’s doing it’s job correctly? I also love the studded look of it, and the blue light is really helpful in making sure it’s ejected/in use or not.

Moved thousands of photos to this drive fast and without a problem.
Kathleen Watsica (verified owner) –
Does what it is supposed to. Only criticism is that the included cable is a bit short for a desktop.
Elnora Terry (verified owner) –

I have used Seagate drives since 2002 when I built my first workstation. It had three Seagates in it. Now I have a Zalman GS1000 which holds eight drives, six easily hot-swappable. They run anywhere from 24/7 to just 10 hours/day. They are reliable. I have only lost three since 2002, but I have dozens. I store my Docs on one, music on one, audio recordings, AFX & music on one, media project support on one and then projects, companies and TB’s of video on others including master DVD’s, CD’s, BluRays and others. I have used other drives like WD but I buy these because they work and last. Sure you can use SSD’s but these are WAY cheaper. And cloud storage? Only for the ignorant and foolish (mine would cost nearly a $1,000/year. Learn how to use HDD’s they save money and time.

Sure this drive does its job and it looks nice. But there are two downsides: – The plastic case seems to big for what it holds inside. When you hold it you feel it gives back under the thin plastic, so there is air in there and you know the drive could have been smaller. And for portable drives, size matters. In portable lives every little space in your bag matters. – The stripes on the side. These catch a bit of dirt. But it looks nice.

Great drive so far and I’ve always used Seagate drives for photography. Not sure when a 3.63TB drive became classified as a 4TB drive though. The actual capacity right out of the box with nothing on it is 3.63TB, so just know that you’re getting shorted almost a half a TB. That’s a little dissapointing when capacity is my primary reason for upgrading to a new drive. Not B&H’s fault, but it would be nice to see that info under the specs.

Inexpensive way to expand storage.
