This is my 5th Seagate external drive. I’ve used them for backups for many years and have never had a problem with one. The new models have USB hubs on the front which is an added bonus.

We bought this hard drive for our high speed internet but it would drop service and we would have to reboot it or sometimes it just didn’t work at all!

Best for backups

(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.

Works good, generating 165GB files (all 13 card bridge hands, 97 files), then compressing to 17GB, for later analysis. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ========= === ==== ==== ===== =========== /dev/sdb2 7.3T 1.2T 6.2T 17% /media/usr/seagate8TB3

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.

The unit offers quick data transfers and a huge amount of storage capacity, for a very reasonable price. I especially like having the two USB ports on the front of the drive.

Nichole Simonis (verified owner) –
The Seagate 8TB Backup Plus drive was the perfect solution for the continued backup of my files. It’s fast, easy and affordable!
Garth Dooley (verified owner) –
I heeded the advice about limiting the capacity to 6TB in order to avoid the ‘noise’ issue and I have no remorse-it’s very quiet and I’m satisfied with its performance. The integrated 2-port USB hub on this model is a convenient bonus especially for connecting my memory card reader and iPhone.
