This is my third Seagate drive….the previous two are now full. They all work fine.

I don’t like its speed. Though it says USB 3.0, but when I transfer video files from another external hard drive (WD 8 TB). Speed first shows 130 MB/s then down to 100 MB/s finally after about 2 minutes it stays stable at 76 MB/s, which is only half of what they claim: 160 MB/s. Another minus, I don’t know why they can not do it? The LED light when files are transferred. They should add that LED light. It does not cost anymore than few pennies, why can’t they do it?. From my old WD 8 TB there is nothing to show that it is running to this new Seagate 8 TB. The logo does light up but merely shows that it is running. Hey Seagate, add a LED that will light up when data is running, OK?

I own two of these for photo backups. They are fast and reliable. I love them. I switched to Seagate three years ago from Western Digital, after multiple WD drive failures. I have never had a seagate drive failure.

I bought a 8tb and it was awesome so I upgrade the for the next level

We’ve been using large-capacity Seagate drives to backup our main editing drives and RAIDs for a long time. We only use these as a backup solution, and they represent the best value per gigabyte anywhere. I’ve yet to use the new USB ports but it’s nice to know they’re there.

I bought it as by yearly backup drive for video projects. The speed is OK as backup drive (over 110 MB/s). Working well and not big noise. Highly recommend the product.

Good
Kiara Connelly (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.

I haven’t had reason to use the plus hub yet. I hate Seagate’s proprietary-to-USB cable; proprietary-connector is easily knocked loose. USB type A, B, and C… not easily knocked loose. I might order another, anyway.

These are well guilt drives, I have 2. I will say it’s sometimes a bit of a pain setting up, I don’t know if it’s just because I have a Mac but the software included is a little cumbersome. I just like to plug in the drive and open up the icon. The charging ports on the front or a nice option although I don’t tend to use them. And I strictly use these as a back up so I don’t work off of them too often but the performance seems fine, especially for my needs. And you cannot beat the price.

my primary laptop is a mac, but i use pc’s to work on media… so this was a perfect solution. if you want to use time machine, you must format it for a mac using disk utility. if you want to use it with time machine and still use it on a pc, there is a paragon driver available for windows that allows you to access the drive once its been formatted for macs.

I bought the Seagate 8TB Backup Drive because I am concerned about redundant storage. I was going to use it to back my other drives into it. Liked the drive so much I am using it for my main drive and using the others to back up the Seagate drive.
Jacklyn Koch (verified owner) –
Awesome device. I think I’ll buy another one.
Mackenzie Bins (verified owner) –
The speed of data transfer is fast and stable with quiet sound only
Talia Dietrich (verified owner) –
Great product and great support from Seagate too. I bought a second one because I liked the built-in USB hub and when my first one quit working I ordered a second. Upon arrival, I tested the first unit with the new power supply and found that the first one was still good, so all I needed was a replacement AC adapter for my original. I contacted Seagate and they gave me all of the specs (barrel size, amperage & polarity) I needed in order to order one. Now I have 2 working drives and I’m using one of them strictly for video files. These are a fantastic value.

Works great! But I had to reformat for a MAC
D’angelo Rohan (verified owner) –
I now own two of these and absolutely love them. Great for holding all of my photos and videos for my business.
Angie Bauch (verified owner) –
Horrible product. Will not buy Seagate again.

I love my new Seagate 4 TB external hard drive with USB Hub. I opened the box, found all the parts carefully wrapped, unwrapped them, plugged the cable into my computer & the external drive, and started downloading movies to the external drive. It worked flawlessly and the movies downloaded quickly. I have several other Seagate external drives about 5 years old, and they are also working flawlessly today.
