I have several and use some for backup, others for _____. The price was the lowest I have seen and delivery was prompt. Well satisfied!

I’ve only had it running for about 2 weeks but I’ve been backing everything up. Works as a drive should.

Set up for non-eventful. I transferred two folders. During the third folder transfer, the unit quit working. When I clicked on the icon for the device, my iMac froze, a rare happening. After re-booting, the drive was not recognized by the computer. After struggling with the mess, I contacted Seagate Customer Service via phone. After a long time, Seagate concluded the drive was defective. Then they informed me shipping for the replacement drive would be $11.95. After my protest, they agreed to waive the charge but will not issue me a free return label until I notify them that the replacement unit has arrived. Shipment of the replacement is 3-5 days. All-in-all, it is very disappointing. Until now, I had a high opinion of Seagate.

Performs exactly as expected, would be nice to know if the HD is a Enterprise version, didn’t see it in the specs. Happy Camper.

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.

This is the second of the Backup Plus Hub drives that I have purchased. the first 6GB version has worked well for years. The new 10GB one seems to be working well once I got it properly to support Mac OS’s Time Machine. Note the quick start instructions should not be followed if you want to format this drive for use with Time Machine! Seagate should mention this in their quick start guide, however the information on how to properly format your drive is on their web support site. I must admit that I have been very impressed with how Seagate packages this drive. It is virtually all recyclable paper or card board other than the plastic bag around the drive. The drive comes with a 2-month membership offer for Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography Plan. I tried to use it and got to the add the license code at the Adobe site and the number Seagate gave me was not valid as it had already been used. I asked Seagate support about this about 1 week ago and have heard nothing from them. I hope that if you have an actual problem with the drive that they respond in the 1-day they state they will respond within.

Ordered the hard drive. They said they’d be open that day. Took money, processed order. Closed again. Order wasn’t shipped. 2 and a half weeks from time order was placed to when I received it. That’s absolutely too long and ridiculous.

Very nice will buy another. Best one I have had!!

my primary laptop is a mac, but i use pc’s to work on media… so this was a perfect solution. if you want to use time machine, you must format it for a mac using disk utility. if you want to use it with time machine and still use it on a pc, there is a paragon driver available for windows that allows you to access the drive once its been formatted for macs.

This is my sixth Seagate Backup Drive Ive purchased over the past several years to archive and backup my extensive photo collection, as well as archive and backup files for my business, as well as running Time Machine for Mac on one of them. All six still running and Im impressed by their reliability.

It’s a big drive for a reasonable price; the speed is largely irrelevant to me — I use it as my central repository for raw image files. This format of drive also has the useful USB 3 pass-through ports on the front and though I don’t use them at present, they might be very useful in future.

Have purchased two for efficiency and speed as redundant backups for photographic and research data. Pleased with results including USB hub, which adds quick convenience for temporary tasks.

I have not any remarks and complaints. I continue to exploit disk.

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.

150mbps transfer to the hard is amazing for such one. great works perfectly ans their is no high noise for me
