I purchased this drive to travel with me for work. I needed something that would have the capacity for large video files and images. Seagate and Western Digital are my go-to’s for external hard drives, but the Seagate was a much better pricepoint and larger capacity than the WD equivalent. Both great products! Just needed a lot of storage in a small drive. With its exFAT file system, it travels seamlessly between my PC and my Mac.

Good for daily usage and the prices are dropping. Go for it.

These external HDs work very well.

Large photo files take up a lot of memory! I ordered this drive to get more room. I ordered it specifically because it advertised that it works for Apple or Microsoft which suggested to me that it works for Linux (the operating system or OS that I prefer). Well it works just fine. I wish more companies would be brave enough to better accommodate Linux users like me and brag about it when they do.

Excellent hard disk. I bought it to serve as storage for a Channel Master DVR to record from my HD Over the air antenna. It works fine with the DVR. Recommend. I have another Seagate 1 TB older HDD that has served me well for over ten years, daily use.

It is five times slower (about 15 Mb/sec) than my other Seagate and other brands of 5tb portable drives (about 75Mb/sec).

Fast delivery and works great.

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.

This is the second time I’ve bought this drive. Love how small and portable it is despite being 4TB!

My very first computer in 1992 came with a Seagate Drive. I was told they were the most dependable at the time. I would say they still are.

I am extremely happy with b&h’s service
Fernando Walter (verified owner) –
It works very well as a backup drive. It is fast even with 2TB of memory. I use Macrium Reflect as my backup software once a day. This works very smoothly. Since my laptop is 1TB, I use the extra 1TB space on the external hard drive for temporary storage of other files. The price is so low that it is not worth getting a lower capacity drive.

Easy set up. Just plugged into the computer and down loaded all my photo’s and documents. Not one problem. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH SEAGATE! WILL ORDER ANOTHER SOON!
