I have a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus drive and never had an issue with it, so I felt comfortable purchasing a Seagate 8TB Backup Plus. The 8TB drive is constantly freezing up my computer and cannot be accessed through Windows Explorer. It freezes the computer so bad that it won’t even restart or shutdown, I have to shut the computer down manually by holding down the power button. After I restart, the drive is accessible, but if I set the computer down for a few minutes, it’s undiscoverable again. I know the 8TB drive is the problem because if I unplug its USB cord everything unfreezes. I contacted Seagate customer service, they told me to run diagnostic tools that may result in the loss of all my data at my expense to recover. They also said if my drive needs to be replaced, I may receive a refurbished drive instead of a new one. On January 7th, I told Seagate all of this is unacceptable and that I’d write a review in a few days time if they didn’t resolve the issue. I have received no response.

Our old backup drive was on the fritz and causing our backup server to freeze. Once I installed this one, the issue stopped. We are using it to back up several Macs in our office and it works great.

Great product and great support from Seagate too. I bought a second one because I liked the built-in USB hub and when my first one quit working I ordered a second. Upon arrival, I tested the first unit with the new power supply and found that the first one was still good, so all I needed was a replacement AC adapter for my original. I contacted Seagate and they gave me all of the specs (barrel size, amperage & polarity) I needed in order to order one. Now I have 2 working drives and I’m using one of them strictly for video files. These are a fantastic value.

A little loud. I honestly thought my dog was chewing on his bone in the other room but I realized it was this drive. Getting used to it.

I don’t like its speed. Though it says USB 3.0, but when I transfer video files from another external hard drive (WD 8 TB). Speed first shows 130 MB/s then down to 100 MB/s finally after about 2 minutes it stays stable at 76 MB/s, which is only half of what they claim: 160 MB/s. Another minus, I don’t know why they can not do it? The LED light when files are transferred. They should add that LED light. It does not cost anymore than few pennies, why can’t they do it?. From my old WD 8 TB there is nothing to show that it is running to this new Seagate 8 TB. The logo does light up but merely shows that it is running. Hey Seagate, add a LED that will light up when data is running, OK?

Nice HDD, fast, but very noisy. I have a 3TB Seagate and they do not compare in terms of noise.

I bought 2 of these and one of the Mac ones. The Mac one had the multi-adaptor for power, but this one only has a power adapter for the US, which means more outlay of cash just to be able to use the drives.

This is my second shot at this device. I returned the first one after the drive became totally un-mountable after attempting to re-format the drive from its native NTFS to the more efficient AFS for my Mac. Using Disk Utility has never failed me in this task ever on any other drive. This one however, no success. Multiple attempts, two different units. Just to make sure I didn’t do something wrong, I verified the steps I took with Seagate’s instructions on re-formatting, and I had done exactly what the manual suggested. Save your money and frustration, unless NTFS suits your needs. I do enjoy the hub feature, but since the drive itself is useless there’s no 2-port USB hub worth that kind of money.

I use this drive along with several other Seagate external HDs as backup and storage of a lot of photos. I have found these Seagate drives reliable and convenient.

I bought 2 of these. One has failed and is currently sitting at a data recovery company to get the FCPX projects off of it.. Although we always back up footage the actual projects / libraries were on this drive. We will be out around $1000 to get our data back. Plus we have to take parts from the other one to use to get the data off of the first one. The recovery company said they see a lot os Seagate drives..Save yourself from the hassle that these drives will cost you.

We’ve been using large-capacity Seagate drives to backup our main editing drives and RAIDs for a long time. We only use these as a backup solution, and they represent the best value per gigabyte anywhere. I’ve yet to use the new USB ports but it’s nice to know they’re there.

everything is good, but price is too high

used this to backup my macbook before upgrading from sierra to mojave. worked great after i reformatted for mac, but first backup took ~19 hours for 400gb of data using the usb to my convertor to my usb-c port. the dongle’s probably the limiting bitrate factor. no complaints about the drive!
