Perfect for backing up my Photos from Lightroom.

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.

From what I can tell this is abnormal and not typical. Not every single one of these Seagate backup plus Hub Drives will be faulty, but it seems to have a higher number of failure than other backup drives. Now I’m stuck having to deal with Seagate hardware warranty which is 2 years and having to find a solution for storing my data while not having the drive. As always B&H is super helpful, I purchased it for work while budget was approved but didn’t use it until 3 months later when I needed it. This is when I discovered the issue. You would expect transfer speeds of 150 MB/s or faster with anything over 50 MB/s being decent enough to transfer files at a reasonable speed. Currently it’s taking me over 2 hours for 31.3 GB which is just unacceptable – you would expect faster speeds from USB 2.0 btw.

Seagate has been reliable for me for years. This is in addition to other 4GB external drive filling up and 2GB flash drives used for travel that are already owned. USB hub a nice addition, providing more easy versatility. Special pricing the real draw to a timely purchase. B+H characteristically with great service.

Outgrew my 5TB drive, and this is the replacement. The drive is silent except for the occasional light chunk of the drive heads moving. I get about 120 MB/s read/write speeds via the USB 3 cable.

Works very well. Quick and hopefully will last for a very long time.
Gilbert Lehner (verified owner) –
It does what it supposed to do and the USB ports are very useful
Brionna Durgan (verified owner) –
Had to return it for replacement, once I got the RMA the exchange was timely and the replacement works very well. I would do business with B&H again. I like their return policy.

I have no issues with this drive. All the space and more for my video collections. I had it hooked up and working on my PC within 5 or 6 minutes. I love this drive. I love the 10 TB size!

nice hard drive

Used this on my new computer for backups. Easy to connect and use. Backups are inherently slow so write speed is of little consequence for my application. I copied the backup to a second hard drive connected via one of the USB 3.1 ports on this drive. Easy as dragging the file from one folder to the other. 180 GB backup file copied to second drive in about 90 minutes. I was surprised it copied that quickly because of my experience with an older computer and older hard drive but my new computer has USB 3.0 as does this drive and the drive to which I was copying the file so I am very pleased with its performance. I think Seagate puts a variety of different drives inside the enclosure for this product. The drive inside of mine is a 5400 RPM ST8000DM004 Barracuda according to my CrystalDisk utility. Some customers report having received 5900 RPM drives but this one has 256 MB cache and TGMR recording technology (which may be similar to Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) according to some sources though to me it seems to be a form of Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) which is evidently superior to SMR in terms of speed of overwriting existing files).

We use a lot of these drives, mostly for backup and editing HD video. USB is too slow when editing 4K, but until the price comes down on Thunderbolt 3 drives, these remain an attractive alternative.
