Works perfectly as a large backup drive. having the additional USB ports is definitely a bonus. aesthetically pleasing on a desktop and handy for phone charging or quickly booting up/transferring files to a mobile or flash drive.

Very useful & reliable & after much searching cheapest 8TB I found. Very useful with extra USB sockets-saves having to transfer things through computer & so is much faster, also less ware & tear on computer-all controlled & viewed through USB cable plugged into computer.

I already have a 3 tera external hard drive which is full and My grandsons want to reformat their computers ’cause when one does it ,they all want to; So now I can copy or cut and paste everything on their computers to just one place. This external drive is super fast.

I have a WD My Cloud Server (12TB) that has two USB expansion Ports on the back, I has used up both and was wondering how to easily increase the capacity and be able to continue doing so without having to configure more cloud servers. The 2 USB ports on the front of the Seagate drive mean that I can Daisy Chain Disks. So I can expand my storage cloud easily. I can buy a cheaper non Hub Drive for one of the Ports and another Seagate/Hub Drive for the other for practically limitless expansion.

It’s a big drive for a reasonable price; the speed is largely irrelevant to me — I use it as my central repository for raw image files. This format of drive also has the useful USB 3 pass-through ports on the front and though I don’t use them at present, they might be very useful in future.

I needed a new backup drive. This one has huge capacity (6Tb), switches itself on and off via my docking station, and acts as a usb hub too. Very reasonable price to boot.

I bought two of these external hard drives to store my pictures on to replace two 5 TB Seagate drives. I have never had a Seagate hard drive fail and these seem like they will be more of the same. The USB 3.0 hubs are also an advantage. The new Seagate Toolkit is much better than the Seagate Dashboard that came with my older drives and it also works on my 5 TB drives. Seagate is an excellent option for storage.

So far this external hard drive is my blessing from the sky. Its capacity of 8TB for the outside dimensions is superb. Have is running for long periods of time without any slow downs. The only thing that I’m not too enthusiastic is the fact that it has preloaded programs that may be necessary but don’t used then or not fully used.

It is used to back up my RAW TIFF & jpg images. I like the built in 2 USB option

The jury is still out. Immediately after installing the drive, an annoying popup with the Seagate logo appeared asking me to format the drive. It stated that one could click on a block to not ask this question again and then click on cancel. After much communication with Seagate Support and reformatting the drive (at their recommendation), an process that took 48 hours, the pesky popup is still with me. I give the drive two stars, because I think Seagate Support is woefully inadequate. I’m sorry I purchased this drive.

While it’s not the fastest drive on the market, it seems to be pretty reliable as a backup/storage drive. I find that when trying to edit 4K video on a drive like this, it can slow down the process when comes to rendering effects, etc. But overall it seems to be performing quite well for me as a storage drive. I think one key factor to extending the life of this hard drive is to not keep it connected to your computer continuously when not in use. Also, not keeping it plug to a power source when not in use helps.

I buy a new one every year, and archive the old one in a bank safe. Ill keep buying Seagate drives for as long as they make them. I backup three drives onto it. I have had to do one total restoration of data onto a new system, when a hard drive failed. Everything worked.

The speed of data transfer is fast and stable with quiet sound only
