And the only reason is, that the hd does NOT come partitioned with enough room to install on a Mac OS. You also cannot repartition through the disk utility. You must MANUALLY repartition the drive using the Terminal app and enter code. You can find the code online, but it does take some searching for. If you feel confident that you can do this, the product is great. If you need a plug & play…I’d probably stay away.

The product was delivered in a timely manner, well packaged as expected. I am pleased with the ease of working with this HD. Thank you for a pleasant transaction

Who doesnt need more USB ports! I partitioned one TB for TimeMachine and 3 TB for storage. So far so good as it sits there quietly doing what its designed to do.

Set up plugged into my iMac for back up for it and it works fine but I wanted it also as a local network back up never could get it set up.

Despite several online search results hinting this drive is PS5 compatible, it is in fact not. This drive lacks support for USB SuperSpeed, which is a requirement for PS5 external USB drive compatibility. Also the hub feature of this drive is an additional factor that may impact compatibility and performance. One might expect the port on the back of the unit to be a direct interface that bypasses the hub, but that does not appear to be the case. In my tests I saw average write speeds of approximately 27MB/s for write 200MB/s for read.

i bought the 8tb version in b&h, only used it for a month, the disk started to run slow then crashed. mechanical fail, now im spending 1 thousand us dollars to recover just 200 gb of information. i do monthly backups didnt last that long. Will never buy seagate again.

We use a lot of these drives, mostly for backup and editing HD video. USB is too slow when editing 4K, but until the price comes down on Thunderbolt 3 drives, these remain an attractive alternative.

Performs exactly as expected, would be nice to know if the HD is a Enterprise version, didn’t see it in the specs. Happy Camper.

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

Have purchased two for efficiency and speed as redundant backups for photographic and research data. Pleased with results including USB hub, which adds quick convenience for temporary tasks.

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.

This is my sixth Seagate Backup Drive Ive purchased over the past several years to archive and backup my extensive photo collection, as well as archive and backup files for my business, as well as running Time Machine for Mac on one of them. All six still running and Im impressed by their reliability.
