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.

Fantastic drive. Plenty of storage, fast. Just plugged it in. No hassle. Would definitely recommend.

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 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.

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.

Dec. order , Seagate 10TB with Hub received with mechanical defect. 2 USB socket in Hub are mounted to high (of center) . And is not possible to plug in any cable or any USB device to outlet for backup or any other use…. My previous order in Nov. Seagate 6TB with Hub is OK…

Very useful & reliable & after much searching cheapest 8TB I found. Very useful with extra USB sockets-saves having to transfer things through computer & so is much faster, also less ware & tear on computer-all controlled & viewed through USB cable plugged into computer.

I got this because my current 3TB drive had reached its max for all the movies stored on it. This has worked out great so far and I’ve used it to dump lots of music and photos on it as well. We like to watch movies through our Apple TV with it and so far I’ve seen zero issues. Great price and lots of storage as well. Not very noisy either. I would definitely buy another if needed.

While it’s not the fastest drive on the market, it seems to be pretty reliable as a backup/storage drive. I find that when trying to edit 4K video on a drive like this, it can slow down the process when comes to rendering effects, etc. But overall it seems to be performing quite well for me as a storage drive. I think one key factor to extending the life of this hard drive is to not keep it connected to your computer continuously when not in use. Also, not keeping it plug to a power source when not in use helps.

Perfect for backing up my Photos from Lightroom.

Great drive. The black cases is great and the drive works like a champ, I was able to back up a lot of project and free up my Mac. Would buy this drive again.

Great product and great support from Seagate too. I bought a second one because I liked the built-in USB hub and when my first one quit working I ordered a second. Upon arrival, I tested the first unit with the new power supply and found that the first one was still good, so all I needed was a replacement AC adapter for my original. I contacted Seagate and they gave me all of the specs (barrel size, amperage & polarity) I needed in order to order one. Now I have 2 working drives and I’m using one of them strictly for video files. These are a fantastic value.
