Best for backups

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.

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 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 bought it as by yearly backup drive for video projects. The speed is OK as backup drive (over 110 MB/s). Working well and not big noise. Highly recommend the product.

IBesides providing a place to back up all my stuff, I really like the two USB ports it provides. And, it works well. Moreover, this brand doesn’t seem to fail – at least not as quickly as other brands I’ve used over the years.

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.

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.

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 have used this hard drive for a few weeks on a Win 7 computer, and am generally satisfied with it. The drive is extremely easy to set up (simply plug in!) and very quiet. It is fairly slow, and therefore best for those who want to have a lot of storage space at a low price, but dont mind waiting a bit longer for large storage jobs to finish.

Quick and easy to install and operate. It is being used as a master backup to my computer.

It’s nice that it doesn’t have a separate power switch, just plug it in to turn it on. I keep past project video files on it. Good storage for a great price.

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.

You can never have enough storage, the price makes this an instant value. Easy to set up and store data!!

I heeded the advice about limiting the capacity to 6TB in order to avoid the ‘noise’ issue and I have no remorse-it’s very quiet and I’m satisfied with its performance. The integrated 2-port USB hub on this model is a convenient bonus especially for connecting my memory card reader and iPhone.
