Drive is fast. However, you can hear the hard disk performing read and write operation. Other than that I am happy.

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).

Had to return it for replacement, once I got the RMA the exchange was timely and the replacement works very well. I would do business with B&H again. I like their return policy.

Was easy to setup and partition on my Mac. Doesn’t make much noise and the logo LED isn’t too bothersome. So far it’s been solid and transfer rates line up with what the advertised specs. Great desktop backup solution. Highly recommend.

It’s seems to be fast enough for an external HD. Most aren’t lightening fast and this is no exception. But it works well for the video file archiving I need it for. I don’t need or use the USB feature.

Easy to install

I had been using the 4TB version of this but it failed after approximately 3 years. It is warranted for only 2 years but still 3 seems a bit short based on my experience with other hard drives. Despite that experience I went ahead and bought the 6TB model to replace it. Unfortunately on day 6 of using it it back thrashing and the data was unreadable and it failed tests (using Seagate Seatools). As it was under warranty I sent it to Seagate and received a replacement drive about 2 weeks after they received the defective unit back. The offered a free data recovery service and it looks like that will be an additional week. The support service was good albeit a bit slow when you are depending on having the drive available. I went with Seagate based on their reputation of quality but now I’m not so sure. I would think long and hard about purchasing Seagate again in the future.

I’ve been using it a few weeks now, mainly to back up photo files, which are pretty big. I’m using this drive to back up another Seagate hard drive, which I’ve been using for two years or so without any problems, which is why I decided to buy another Seagate drive. Another popular brand of hard drive that I used to employ for back ups failed after a year or two of use, so I switched to Seagate. It seems that all hard drives fail sooner or later; it’s just that Seagate seems to last longer. I’ve not had one crash yet. Nevertheless, I always feel more secure if I have two backups of my photos and other data. Thus, I don’t hesitate to recommend Seagate drives.

(On my Macs) DriveDX with the drivers to support S.M.A.R.T. status on USB devices warned the drive was running too hot inside the enclosure which provides no ventilation. DriveDX also revealed the drive used in the 10TB model is a 7200 rpm Seagate Barracuda Pro 10TB which currently retails for $434.99 compared to $191.98 for the Backup Plus – that’s over $230 cheaper! I stripped the drive from the Backup Plus housing (which will damage the housing) and now use it with the OWC Drive Dock USB Type-C Dual Drive Bay. While the 10TB Backup Plus is a real bargain with faster transfer rates than claimed by Seagate, some other Backup Plus versions, like an 8TB version I bought, contain painfully slow SMR drives.

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.

Bought a WD G Drive sipped to me i one day. Loaded it with content and overnight it lost the content and file system. Bought this Seagate 10tb drive and we have had several power failures and this thing is still rockin! Files are safe and backed up. Never will I buy a Western Digital Product like the G Drive again.

The shipment was on time. I record live events using multi-track recording equipment and needed to be able to free up space on my internal drive. This is an excellent product for that. Easy setup, the software loads in quickly and effortlessly. The first time it performs a system backup will take a few hours but after that, it just works its magic in the background. No slowdowns detected, much better than cloud storage.

I bought 2 of these and one of the Mac ones. The Mac one had the multi-adaptor for power, but this one only has a power adapter for the US, which means more outlay of cash just to be able to use the drives.

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.

Seagate makes excellent external hard drives, and this is no exception. The 10TB Backup Plus USB 3.0 performs fast and reliably. It is an asset for people with significant numbers of files (such as a photographer). Files can be retrieved easily and quickly, and backup is simple and effective. The USB hub is an added bonus. I am considering getting another one, and would certainly recommend it to others.

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

This external Hard Drive works as expected as a backup storage unit for my photography.
