I was really excited to find this product at B&H (hard to find this size external hard drive easily elsewhere). The shipping was fast and free, and the drive works great. I’ve since purchased another, and received a price adjustment when the same product went on sale the next day. Overall quite happy with the customer service and quality/range of products available.

A little loud. I honestly thought my dog was chewing on his bone in the other room but I realized it was this drive. Getting used to it.

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’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.

Got it for archiving images. So far it works great. The 2 USP sockets come in handy too.

Our old backup drive was on the fritz and causing our backup server to freeze. Once I installed this one, the issue stopped. We are using it to back up several Macs in our office and it works great.

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.

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.

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.
