Drive sees USB 3.0 ports as USB 2.0 on my machine and shows a warning every time it starts up. Seagate advised updating drivers. No improvement after doing so. Seagate then said a bad cable shipped with this unit — but ignored my request for them to replace it. The plug that goes into the drive is not like any USB connector that I have ever seen. No idea where I would find another one. On a Windows 7(64-bit) pc, with a quad core CPU and 6GB of RAM, it took five and a half hours to back up 174GB of data from my internal HDD to the Seagate Expansion drive. By comparison, on a Windows XP (32-bit) computer with a 2-core CPU and 2GB of RAM, it took approximately an hour and a half to transfer 232 GB from one USB 2.0 drive to another. Seagate’s response:4TB Expansion drive is not marketed as a fast drive, however our Backup Plus portable 4TB Fast drive is. Their advice: by another computer with USB 3.0 drives and hope it works. Really?

Fast and quiet drive. I use it as a back up drive only. I don’t work off the drive. Data transfer speeds are great. As a part of my multiple backup workflow for storing photos it does its job. I replaced one of my Western Digital drives with this one because that drive was all kinds of slow and noisy. I’m very glad I did and will probably switch to only using Seagate drives from now on.

The box was half open when it arrived, I got good deal on the 14th drive but it’s many loud noises when plug in, not sure if it has drop damage or not waiting for replacement.

So far so good the installation was a breeze works as described.

10 puntos!

This is a quality drive. It is a shingled drive so don’t expect continuous blazing speed. When you edit a file, it has to write it somewhere else then rewrite three tracks to make the old location available again. It does that between reads and writes, so it needs downtime for disk maintenance. I would not put it in a RAID array. Also filling it past 80% will slow it down. But for a backup drive or to store data that is not being constantly altered it does very good. To store my documents, photos and music it is great. You get a lot of data in a small package with this drive.

Drive was simple to install and 10TB is a lot of storage. It is very quiet and will go into a reduced power state after a period of time so it’s not always running. Very nice and would recommend to anyone needing a lot of inexpensive storage.

I got worried when I noticed the packaging only said Windows compatible, AFTER I had already opened it. lol But I just had to reformat, and all is well. Nice form factor, relatively compact for the capacity.

Great non-Shingled Magnetic Recording Exos Enterprise-level drive inside!

Works great so far. It does however: (1) report a different set of SMART indicators that my OEM Exos X14 drives, (2) comes with just 1-year warranty in North America as opposed to 5-year OEM Exos coverage and you would need to put it back together as the drive’s own S/N is not valid in the Seagate warranty tool, so you need the enclosure S/N (remember to write down each matching pair!!), (3) requires picks and patience to crack open. Enjoy!

I had been looking for at least 16 TB to house all my videos and I finally found the right one. Great price and easy to set up.

I liked this fast, reliable, easy and simple back up system with this affordable price range.

I’m using this Seagate 10TB External Hard Drive as a Plex server and boy can it hold a lot of media! Setup is easy and truly plug and play. This is the sweet spot for cost/terabyte (unless of course you go with a NAS RAID box) and for reliability with a failure rate lower then 4TB to 6TB external drives. Just get it at the sale price and you’re good to go!

Tried to get this drive to mount on 3 of my Macs (running 10.13.3) to no avail. Maybe I just got a bad one?

The first drive failed within a week. BH would NOT give me a refund/credit as I did not have the original box anymore. I got the replacement and now, 6 months later, it has failed AGAIN!! I’ve lost a significant amount of data. I have dozens and dozens of external drives and not one have ever failed. None. This drive failing TWICE now speaks volumes of Seagates quality.

Good speeds, tested the entire drive, both read and write were as good as any other 7200rpm top tier drive.

It works as it should.
Birdie Wunsch (verified owner) –
It has a little sound when it starts up ( like a Godzilla little roar) which I have no problem with it at all. I’ve used this brand for quite sometime and never lost work.. def recommend

If you are looking for an inexpensive, reliable and say to use backup solution, here it is. Great for the price, capacity and convenience. Yes, a bit noisy and slow, but this is not an issue for occasional backups.
