It’s a thicc external hard drive that requires you to plug it into a wall to use. If it could run off phantom, I’d be amazed, but it still kind of sucks that you need to plug it in. I entirely understand. Four stars because I haven’t had it long enough to really judge how well it can hold out, but it looks promising so far. Knock on wood.

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.

I use these for midnight backups from my Synology diskstation. They work fine and seem fast. I had one go bad, and Seagate replaced it under warranty.

I use this drive along with several other Seagate external HDs as backup and storage of a lot of photos. I have found these Seagate drives reliable and convenient.

I originally bought it to expand the storage of my PS4, but found out later that it can’t support drives with built in hubs like this one. That was a letdown, but I just decided to just swap it with one of the non-hub external drives on my iMac. That fixed the PS4 storage issue, but when I plugged this drive into my iMac, it refused to initialize it, so I couldn’t format it or do anything with it in Disk Utility. I swapped it to a Win 10 machine and it worked fine, but even after reformatting in exFAT then iMac still wouldn’t recognize it. To get it to work on the iMac, I had to resort to using Terminal to manually rebuild the MBR and reformat. Once that was done, it’s worked perfectly on the iMac ever since… it was just a bit of a hassle to get it working.

We have it connected to our RAID and it has been working seamlessly. Very large capacity. Runs silent. Runs cool. It’s a great unit for extra protection and the price is very nice.

Seagate 8TB Backup Plus USB 3.0 External Hard Drive with USB Hub does the job for me backing up my precious memories….

Seems like a good solid drive. Starts on boot-up so no on/off switch which is really redundant anyway. Comes formatted for Windows and Boot Camp and you can configure it to do Time Machine backup on installation or of course you can reformat it for Mac, but that removes the Boot Camp ability so you will not be able to start up in windows from the drive. Since I’m Mac only I reformatted it into two equal 4 gig partitions and use one for Time Machine and the other for data storage. The drive works seamlessly and quietly and so far I have had no trouble with it. Seagate is usually a reliable manufacturer so I do not expect anything to go wrong but 8 gigs is a lot of info to lose, so fingers crossed meantime. The USB hub up front is a nice addition but not sure if you get USB3 speeds out of it, but it’s very convenient to have an extra input now that the drive is using one of the ports on my Mac

Don’t worry about your data, It will be backed up just fine with this. I also love the extra two usb ports that come on the front to jumper other devices off of this. You won’t be disappointed.

Hooked it up a week ago. Was recognized by computer immediately. The real test is how long it lives, but so far, its an excellent value for the money.

I have been running one of these on a Mac for about a year – flawless. The MyBook was in service the same length of time and has started to fail. The Seagate manual says to download an app so that you don’t have to reformat for Mac. I prefer to reformat and not use an intermediate app. Easy to do in DiskUtility. New unit up and running in just a few minutes.

The drive was delivered quickly and in good shape. Connected it to my system, plugged it in, and started backing up my smaller 2TB drives. It was as simple as that!
