Third Seagate drive for back up. The more time goes on the more TBs I need. Works decent.

The drive was bought to replace a 10TB Seagate drive and basically, it does what it is suppose to do. TWO things stick out though. 1) The drive is a bit noisy….you can hear the read/write movement of the heads. It is particularly loud because the computer it is hooked up to has SSD drives in it, which means it makes NO NOISE, so any is a lot. 2) I bought it as a 14TB Drive and upon opening and hooking it up…it comes in at 12.7TB of useful space. Not sure why the HUGE space grab for this BUT REAL GLAD I didn’t opt for the 12TB drive. I understand that whatever is on the drive, to make it work and all takes up SOME space, BUT I would have expected the useful space to be 13TB plus…not 12.

I bought these just for the bare drive. Funny marketing: the drive + USB interface + enclosure + power supply is cheaper than just the drive. In any case, the drives work well. I store lots of home video on them. They spin down when not in use, but they’re powered on 24/7. Backblaze’s latest failure rates show a pretty typical rate for these drives.

nice service and fast shipping

Works well on both OSX and Windows, no Linux tests yet. USB 3.0 speeds aren’t my favorite, but they definitely can get the job done. Have an army of these things for backup footage and art assets for projects. Wouldn’t recommend editing anything from these, they are just good for storage. No heat issues, all of mine are really quiet so unsure of the noise issues for others.

The drive constantly disconnects and usually fails to reconnect. The drive’s internal USB circuit keeps crashing, pulling down the USB bus on my PC and disconnecting not only the drive but my mouse and keyboard as well. I replaced this drive with a Toshiba and my problems went away. I’ll never buy another Seagate drive … it’s not worth risking my photos and other data.

Drive performs as expected without all of the odd noises that used to plague the Seagate drives. Pretty quick for a USB3 drive with sustained write speeds over 120MB/s. Reliable transfer while backing up over 12TB of data with integrity check from a NAS without issue over a couple days. As usual for B&H good price and fast delivery for a nice product, can’t go wrong here.

Early review for an hdd, but form factor is great, no fluff -rectangular just larger than the drive. Great write speed hit ~290mb usb 3.1 from a Linux device

Bought it on April 17 , today is June 25.. and the disk died. I use it to backup my computer mainly photos. I desperately disappointed.

Plugged the external enclosure in my NAS running OMV. Formatted it and is running great. Streams all my 4k and 1080p movies/shows just fine. Already had another 12tb external, but it was getting filled up.

This is my 2nd purchase for this model drive. Haven’t had any issues with them so far. I had to format these before using, which takes about 24 hours, which helps insures my writing on these later without errors. I’m using these on my server to store movies on my Plex, which I haven’t had any lag or hesitations on movies when watching them. They do rattle a little at times when reading/writing but not enough to bother me. The drives do run a little on the warm side but during the cold days helps to keep my room warm. In the summer gotta make sure to keep the room air conditioned/cool to avoid overheating/failures. I would get another if these get full.

I was really exited to finally use the hard drive after months of waiting and planing to order it and when I finally decide to order , I get a busted version I tried it on 3 deferent computers and it doesn’t show up on any of them It keep showing a blue light but in all the computers you can’t find it I tried to look at disk management and cmd and data manager but couldn’t find anything , I tried to install Paragon as it was recommended to do that and it didn’t show up either. And all the 3 computers are new and updated I guess I will try to refund and see the other options .

I have always had good experiences with Seagate products. The Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive has been no different. It is a good product for a reasonable price.

I added this external drive to my desktop PC for backing up my photography library. It’s fast, quiet and I’ve always had good luck with Seagate product reliability.

An affordable way to back up your footage. I haven’t had any drive failures so far and I’ve had several of these for years.

I think a review may be a bit premature, but so far the drive is working as expected. I transferred several hundred gig of pictures and it was as easy as click and drop. I am very pleased and would recommend this drive to.anyone. Also I don’t find it excessively noisy at all.

This drive is horribly slow.
