This drive has a lot of space for my backups. It took a long time to backup 4TB of data from my computer. Im replacing two 4TB drives with this one and one new internal 8TB drive. This should do the trick as Seagate are probably the most reliable drives out there

Needed back-up fast. As always B&H was lightnoing fast w/ best reviews and prices.

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

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!

Seagate’s 14 TB Backup (with USB 3.0 hub) is a very good buy. Thousands of photos require a large backup external drive. This 14 TB Seagate is the perfect choice. And the two USB 3.0 ports on the front are very handy.

Works great.

The shipment was on time. I record live events using multi-track recording equipment and needed to be able to free up space on my internal drive. This is an excellent product for that. Easy setup, the software loads in quickly and effortlessly. The first time it performs a system backup will take a few hours but after that, it just works its magic in the background. No slowdowns detected, much better than cloud storage.

Like having an entire parking garage for a small car…lots of space. Works great. Hope it lasts!

I have an Apple computer and had problems with Western Digital’s drive. I got a Seagate and it works great. Mark

The additional built-in USB ports are darned handy! Other than that? It’s a Seagate external drive.

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.

Love it! Fast transfer rate…. Tons of room for Movies, TV Shows and Photos!

I got this to replace my Western Digital (which failed-no surprise). I did have to reformat for Mac in order for it to be used as a Time Machine backup. I thought I read that it work right out of the box – not. Seems to be holding up fine but Ive only had it connected for 1 week. I have a MacPro running 10.12.6

A great storage option at an amazing price. Easy to use, fast with USB 3.0. Am very happy with the purchase.

Unreliable external HD. Read / Write errors. Corrupted file system errors. JUNK HD. Avoid this model. Non returnable after 30 days. Failed on day 36. Avoid 1000%

Works Great at the moment.. Easy to setup..

While I usually have good luck with Seagate products, this one is a disappointment. The unit was slow. One bulk transfers I could hear constant hard drive noise and the transfer rate rarely went over 70 Mb/s. Other USB 3 drives handle bulk transfers at speeds over 170 Mb/s. This one was returned as defective and I went with a competing brand (with much better speeds).

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