Bought this because of it’s capacity and as a desktop backup of a large number of portable drives. Plug and play, works great with the Mac with no issues.

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+ 🙁

This is the 3rd one I’ve purchased. I was outgrowing my 5TB drives connected to my router (i.e. accessing them as shared network storage). Swapped them out for these 8TB drives, and connected the 5TB drives to their USB ports. It’s working out great.

Bought it to use to perform automatic backups. I liked the two additional USB ports provided. Initially though of using it for Windows File History. When I hooked it up it defaulted to the Seagate backup. Wasn’t able to determine exactly how this worked and how it compared to File History from the Seagate user manual. I let the Seagate backup run and I’m happy with it. I don’t need to have access to every version of every file, only the most current version. The drive is a bit noisy but I’m getting used to it.

Well I have two MAC computers. A laptop which is High Sierra and a desktop which is El Capitan. On the El Capitan the disk first wouldn’t mount, but the software automatically loaded (even though it was for a PC) So I plugged it into my laptop where is showed up, but ope having errors reformatting in MAC Os, even though it was suppose to be MAC ready. I was on the phone with Apple Care for over an hour and then they said to try calling Seagate. I called the next day and something must have gone right through the night and after restarting the computer over and over because it finally showed up when I called Seagate, like when you feel fine after you are at the doctors. Seagate was no help at all and said it was MAC’s fault even though my system were suppose to be compatible. I just pray it lasts.

I have about a dozen different size Seagate Backup Plus from 4TB to this 10TB. It works flawlessly and is great for storage of the large point clouds I generate.

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.

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.

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.

I have 3 of these and they all work well.

Received from B & H in short order. Connected to my QNAP NAS and access it through my home network. This provides much needed additional storage!

The drive seems to work well (I have two Seagate 4TB USB pocket drives that have worked well so far for a couple of years) but I was surprised that there is no On-Off switch on this 8TB units. So I often hear the disk spinning even when it hasn’t been in use for quite a while. Maybe it’s not a big deal, but I mention it just as an FYI.

I have an Apple computer and had problems with Western Digital external drives. The Seagate works perfectly. Great drive. Mark
