Used as time machine backup for 6 months and then would no longer mount to my Mac. Appreciate that Seagate is sending replacement drive for $11.95 shipping and return of failed drive, but I don’t trust it with my data anymore (will use as a secondary backup).
Bradford O’Hara (verified owner) –
Excellent form factor and space for the price.

So far it’s working just fine. I use it for music DAW backup I expect nothing less because it’s a Seagate.

I’ve been using these Seagate drives for storage and backup of my wedding photography files for a few years now and have never had trouble with them. This drive, like all the others, has been great!

Being a Seagate user, I was laready rsitered for one of their products. When I went to reister this drive the URL would not work and I had to dig to find the info I needed. Once installed, it has been working great. This is the reason for the low rating. The drive is great- just a bad installing process on line. This drive should give me plenty of room for my photos!! USB 3.0 is a plus also along with the Front USB ports.

Works well though the software was a bit cumbersome to set up. And the unit is fairly bulky. But all my information is backed up with plenty of room to grow!

Two of these units, used as media drives on my Macbook Pro, editing in Final Cut X. So far, so good.

i love that I have so much storage in a small attactive devise. It was very easy to install. Thank for offering it in red, my favorite color.

this is the cheapest, slowest, biggest external drive you can get for the money. Use it to backup files to your archive. Do not use a 5400rpm bus-powered drive like this to edit video or anything really. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t matter if drives advertise USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 or whatever kind of port, most of them are slow 5400rpm drives from a handful of manufacturers on the inside, so why pay more? If you need an editing drive, try an SSD like Samsung.

Backing up a lot of my work. Humming along like a champ

Other reviews have mentioned the short-lived nature of this hard drive. I can’t comment on that because I have only had it for less than a month. However, I have done a few entire-PC backups on it using Acronis software and it works perfectly. It took me a few tries to get the Acronis settings the way I wanted them, and at one point it was taking over 15 hours to back up something that should have taken far less time. The drive just kept going and going and going–no damage resulting from the long period of use. Will have to wait and see how it all shakes down, but for right now it’s great and super-easy to use (at least with a PC-can’t comment on Mac usage).

It works as advertised…. so far my best external drive for my iMac

good

Fast and quiet, works as expected

It’s a hard drive. No way to rate its longevity until later. The blue color is more aluminum than blue, but fortunately I don’t care. It’s a little thicker than my 1T hard drive, but then it’s five times the capacity, so I’m happy. Oh. The teeny-tiny issue? The USB side of the connecting wire is all white, and though the sides are embossed differently, it’s impossible for me to tell which side is up. So I marked the top side with a sharpie and all is now well.

It was delivered in two days..up and running immediately and works perfect. Should have got it sooner!
