Not happy with this drive. When it is recognized by my computer (which is rare) it’s very slow-48-50MB/second. Often in the middle of a long download it will stop writing and send various error messages. I’ve been in contact with Seagate and, to their credit, they sent me a replacement. It’s just as bad. I have tried both with various computers and have the same problems on all of them. I have 2 smaller WD brand drives that work fine. I’m tired of fooling with it.

I’ve bought a few of these and most work just fine. However, one did freeze up and, after reformatting, it worked ok again. This meant I lost all the data I entered previously which was annoying.

This Seagate failed less than 3 months from purchase date. I used to only buy Seagate – they used to be extremely reliable. Sadly it seems in the past few years they’ve become less and less reliable. I had a couple of Seagate drives fail in the past few years. Took another chance hoping it was a fluke but it seems they’re just not that reliable anymore. After this one bit the dust I think I’ll try a different company.

I bought the product to transfer files from a Win XP computer to a Win 10 computer. I plugged this drive in & it set up itself .The transfer went without a hitch and didn’t have to reformat. The process was quick & easy. It is now my back-up.

This external drive with the USB 3.0 is a lot faster than my previous external hard drives. I store a lot of pictures, so this works great for the bigger raw digital files.

What I love from this HD are its size and weight. I take it with me on the road and doesn’t matter how many shoots I have this have plenty of capacity to store.
