Horrible product. Will not buy Seagate again.

Bought this to backup a NAS that has 6TB of data on it. Transfers (rsync) started out at 30MB/sec (not great) over USB, but by the time I got a couple of TB on this drive, transfer speeds had dropped to less than 1MB/sec. I seriously doubt it will even be possible to copy all 6TB from the server to this drive. Additionally, when totally idle, this drive continuously thrashes the head around for no apparent reason. Serves me right for buying Seagate. If you buy this drive, you have only yourself to blame.

While I usually have good luck with Seagate products, this one is a disappointment. The unit was slow. One bulk transfers I could hear constant hard drive noise and the transfer rate rarely went over 70 Mb/s. Other USB 3 drives handle bulk transfers at speeds over 170 Mb/s. This one was returned as defective and I went with a competing brand (with much better speeds).

This drive seems to be fast and works as a drive should. Two things bother me about this drive: I own 2 other Seagate 4-TB drives, and they get done copying my files and stop making sounds. This 6TB drive keeps on clicking for many minutes after it shows 100% copy of files or folders. Does this mean that it is not really done copying? And, second, I am still running Win 7 Pro, and every once in a while the shortcut icon to this drive shows up with a question mark over it on booting up which stays there until the next boot, although it seems to work OK as a drive even with the question mark.

I haven’t had reason to use the plus hub yet. I hate Seagate’s proprietary-to-USB cable; proprietary-connector is easily knocked loose. USB type A, B, and C… not easily knocked loose. I might order another, anyway.

Like having an entire parking garage for a small car…lots of space. Works great. Hope it lasts!

I have the 6TB version of this and it was the fastest of my 4 external drives, so I bought 2 of the 8TB drive in the same line…. Nowhere on B&H, or Seagates websites is there any mention or RPMs… well, for some reason the make it up as they go along. The Backup plus hub 8TB drives are 5400 RPM… to slow for my video work 🙁 Why would the 6TB of the same drive be 7200RPM? Who knows, but I took these out of the external case to use as a RAID internally, so I guess I just got suckered out of $300+ 🙁

I got this to replace my Western Digital (which failed-no surprise). I did have to reformat for Mac in order for it to be used as a Time Machine backup. I thought I read that it work right out of the box – not. Seems to be holding up fine but Ive only had it connected for 1 week. I have a MacPro running 10.12.6

Took it out of the box and started up. Downloaded Mac softfware and was up and running. Very fast compared to all the other products in the past I have purchased. Came with USB 3 to 2 connector which I needed. Quiet, super soft hum.

We now have two of these Backup Plus hubs in our home environment as backups to our two main workstations. Backups are VERY fast, simple to set up and manage, and after a few weeks, I can say very reliable. File or data recovery is simple drag and drop. The USB 3.0 ports on the front also simplify connections and provide those extra ports so we don’t need to sneak around behind the hardware. I like it! Good work, Seagate!

This HD gives me a place for the second backup of my initial backup, using Time Machine. It required re-formatting for Mac, using software available from seagate/paragon. I was a bit confused about whether it required a firmware update, and sent an email message to Seagate, which was answered promptly. (Since the HD is powered by the computer, it doesn’t require an update.) Seagate’s customer service has always been excellent. I’m about 2.5 feet away from the drive and there’s very little sound when it’s backing up. I haven’t used the two USB ports on the front, but they are a worthwhile convenience, since I’ve filled up all my slots on the 7 slotUSB hub. And I checked the sectors of the drive before backing up and everything was fine. As always, B&H is very reliable.

Don’t worry about your data, It will be backed up just fine with this. I also love the extra two usb ports that come on the front to jumper other devices off of this. You won’t be disappointed.
