These seem good, they are just a little loud.

I put this drive on my Xbox One and it formatted for games right away with absolutely no issues. I then copied my games from my 3TB external Seagate drive and again it was without issue. I am now using the drive for my Xbox One external storage and it is working flawlessly. I have never had any issues with my Seagate drives. The only drive that I ever had an issue with was a WD drive. I know others have different experiences but if I were going to buy another drive I would purchase Seagate.

Easy to set up, small considering, and so far so good.

Terrible hard drive. So noisy constant clunking and banging noise the could be heard two rooms away. Very slow reads and writes maybe do to the defect causing the noise. I’m exchanging it for a second one but the second it gets noisy it’s getting returned and I’m through with Seagate products.

Worked with WD for a long time then a Seagate drive has outlasted all my drives. I DJed with it. So it wasn’t treated kindly. Bought it about 2010 or so and it it still going strong. That made me rethink my allegiance to WD. AS ADVERTISED this is being a fine drive. HIghly recommended. If it last 5 years or more you have me for life.

Using it for back-up storage.

I own three of these drives, which house the 8TB Seagate Archive Drive. These are not speed demons, but they are not intended to be. I am currently using two for alternating Time Machine backups under macOS (Sierra) and a third for long-term offsite storage. Although hard drives are always a crapshoot, I’ve had no problems with Seagate external drives as backups since I started using them when they maxed out at 2TB. Odd are good you’ll get a good one of these.

I use it to store large volumes of data. I am not necessarily editing high volumes of video, so I am not sure how it would work for such users. Downloading video and playback are fine.

I use these Seagate external drives for back-ups of my data (mostly images), and I like their simplicity of use and minimal aesthetic. I can’t comment on their technical aspects or compare them to similar models by other makers, but so far I have never had one fail on me. That said, I use them very sparingly. I plug them in only when I am adding or accessing data, and otherwise leave them unplugged and detached from my computer between uses.

Works perfect.

I needed a new storage drive for my video work and since I’ve been working with 4K video this seemed like a good option for my needs. The drive looks great and runs quiet although when it’s doing a lot of read/write cycles I can feel it running when I touch my desk. For me it’s not a big deal but for others, the vibration might be an issue. The drive comes preformatted for Windows (NTFS file system) but it can easily be reformatted for other O/S’s. I use Mac OS X so I had to reformat it but it’s not a big deal.

I use them for my high-density music files such as iso;dsf;dff;flac;wav…etc., and using it directly play music files daily. Their normal speed for copying are between 90 to 150 MHz….So far so good! Reliable! B & H is the most reliable seller in the World….

I received the item well packaged and it’s working perfectly fine.

I am using this drive as a back up for my Synology system. I formatted it using Synology and it works perfectly out of the box.

This 8T Expansion Drive arrived promptly from B&H. I formatted for Mac and set up as Time Machine. Since my 2010 Macbook pro is only USB 2, the Time Machine back up of over 3 TB of various drives is taking many many days and nights of continuous running. I hope this drive survives the first 2 Back ups. After that it is light duty. Better to look at reviews after a year of use not 2 weeks.

I had a need for backup storage of my most precious documents. This is the best external drive I’ve eve owned.

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.
