It seems to work OK but the lack of product instruction has stopped me from getting my hard drive backup complete. There was a comment on the unit software that said I should back up my data because this unit may delete files. Since it is a backup hard drive I found that to be an odd comment and I have not tried to use it since.

Was looking forward to this drive as I’ve trusted Seagate for years. But must have gotten a lemon.

Works well and runs quiet

I use this drive as back up drive for my photography business, it was simple to set up and use out of the box. It is a lot bigger than a normal external drive, but well worth it.

Plugged it in, and was able to immediately work with my Linux laptop. The speed seems very good, based on my experience with previous drives. With our photography activity, we need a lot of storage. (only problem, which is mine alone, is that I cannot seem to re-label the drive under Linux. While a minor nit, it is not an important issue, and may be solved by borrowing a Win***s system from a friend and re-labeling there)

Easy to use; good buy

Had some initial problems with the Seagate Dashboard software flashing warnings that the drive was full, when in reality only about 200GB was used (i.e., it was about 5% full). Contacted Seagate, which offered no solution. Decided that it might be the software, so deleted the software and everything seems to be all right. Otherwise, very quiet and fast.

Huge data storage in such small compact hard drive, love it, the speed is pretty fast, make no noise at all. Using it all day ,but no heat buildup, pretty cool to touch.. I recommend to anyone who needs a new hard drive.

Perfect for big amount of data.

Love the gold color as my company color is gold. I already have a couple red verions so when the gold went on sale I picked up another. Never seem to have too much storage available

I recently added a USB3 card to my mid 2010 Mac Pro. Now using this drive for time machine backups is MUCH faster than the original Apple Time Capsule. Use to take over 24 hours to BU 2 terabytes, now takes a few hours. Worked right out of the box with Mac OS
Olin Kreiger (verified owner) –
This USB drive is compact, takes up very little space on my desk and does not require a separate power supply (and wires). Very good backup for all my file & photo’s. Seagate’s software included on the drive works great for making easy backups or for syncing your files. I am considering buying a second one for addition storage and security.

I have a million of these for professional and personal use. Easy to set up and always reliable.
Natalia Hickle (verified owner) –
Small, yet mighty … gives me piece of mind that it constantly backs-up my computer and my files are secure.

Lots of storage in a portable device; somewhat easy software accompanies it to enable simple file backup
Jana Jenkins (verified owner) –
Easy to use, easy to set up. Reliable and sturdy. From backing up your whole computer or just backing up important files and or photos, I always use Seagate External Drives.

I purchased 3 of these drives on 06/24/2020. All arrived in great condition and I put them to work storing my music files. They worked great and are very fast. And then 1 drive failed to show up on my device listing. I attempted to access it with disk management but cannot see it at all.

So far, it’s performed perfectly.
