I buy a new one every year, and archive the old one in a bank safe. Ill keep buying Seagate drives for as long as they make them. I backup three drives onto it. I have had to do one total restoration of data onto a new system, when a hard drive failed. Everything worked.

Functions as intended, no issues after a few months of use

Quite fast for an external USB HDD and the two USB ports on the front are a bonus.

We got this in the “Deal Zone” for a great price. Ran out of room on a couple of 1tb secondary drives so we got this. Transfer of each 1tb drive was relatively quick. We have it connected to our RAID drive for “easier” access. Works well so far.

Back up for large image files and videos. Worked perfectly with my Mac Pro.

I’ve always used Seagate disks, both internal, small portable external and desktop external like this one. I was really surprised how fast write and read speeds were on this disk as compared to small external drives. When connecting other disks to it directly via the built in USB hub, the speeds were actually significantly faster than when connecting to computer port. I highly recommend this drive.

Easy to set up and the charging ports are a nice bonus.

I have 3 of these and they all work well.

It’s a thicc external hard drive that requires you to plug it into a wall to use. If it could run off phantom, I’d be amazed, but it still kind of sucks that you need to plug it in. I entirely understand. Four stars because I haven’t had it long enough to really judge how well it can hold out, but it looks promising so far. Knock on wood.

I have a WD My Cloud Server (12TB) that has two USB expansion Ports on the back, I has used up both and was wondering how to easily increase the capacity and be able to continue doing so without having to configure more cloud servers. The 2 USB ports on the front of the Seagate drive mean that I can Daisy Chain Disks. So I can expand my storage cloud easily. I can buy a cheaper non Hub Drive for one of the Ports and another Seagate/Hub Drive for the other for practically limitless expansion.

This is my second shot at this device. I returned the first one after the drive became totally un-mountable after attempting to re-format the drive from its native NTFS to the more efficient AFS for my Mac. Using Disk Utility has never failed me in this task ever on any other drive. This one however, no success. Multiple attempts, two different units. Just to make sure I didn’t do something wrong, I verified the steps I took with Seagate’s instructions on re-formatting, and I had done exactly what the manual suggested. Save your money and frustration, unless NTFS suits your needs. I do enjoy the hub feature, but since the drive itself is useless there’s no 2-port USB hub worth that kind of money.

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.

This is an excellent backup drive for photos. However, the transfer rate is a bit slower than I hoped.
Waylon Blick (verified owner) –
Easy plug and play and easy to use.

sent back to the manufacturer after the drive failed to initialize and mount, repeatedly. They promise to send a replacement. We’ll see
