Checked all the boxes. Very powerful, easy to use and looks good. The usb included is high quality so it doesn’t disconnect easily. A very good purchase

I am using it as a Time Machine backup on my imac. I am not using the software that came with the product and just formatted it for the OS I have.

it does the job at a good price.

I bought a dozen of these. We’ve used 5 of them and 2 out of the 5 have failed. One was bad the second time we plugged it in and one failed after we filled it with data.

Good value in an external hard drive.

Fast enough. No problems.

Ran an in depth smart test as soon as I got it (as I always do for new hard drives) and it passed with no warnings/errors. It’s a nice physical size for an enclosure and the red color is nice and shiny (but still looks like a serious product). Two downsides: 1) it’s not using a usb c connector to the drive itself, instead it uses some connection I don’t know the name of and don’t have a cable for already (it ships with a cable, but if I ever needed a replacement, usb c is far more common than whatever this connection is). 2) it’s an smr platter (shingled magnetic recording) which will make it slower than the conventional option. That’s kind of the tradeoff to get a 5TB drive in 2.5 form factor (although I think they also use it for the smaller capacity drives in this line as well). For my workload – doing a full backup once a year or so and incremental backups in between, I don’t really mind, but something to be aware of. My initial full backup took 12-16 hours for 2.5TB worth of data, ymmv.

Works well, connection is fast, small and light, does not need a power adapter. Only down side is that my Samsung s20 phone has trouble recognizing it.

Small compact, ready to use. Just a little slower writing speed, but ok for photo storage.

I Have it for one week and so far it is working just as I expected great .

Using the drive for on-site backup of another external drive. The extra USB ports are handy for charging my phone, or whatever else I need to plug in.

We have purchased several Seagate external backups over time. This one is truly fast, smooth, and extremely reliable.

I was quickly running out of hard drive space on my new mac mini. This drive hooked right up and gave me 10 themes the storage. It is super quick for file transfers and takes up hardly any space.

We use these to store 1080p video files of our finished television programs. Good to have a reliable copy on hand instead of only out there in the cloud somewhere. The 4TB allows for a lot of space for many shows to be archived.

Only had this for a little while but its a good grip and effective device for all my backup needs.

Shucked the hard drive… perfect for installing into my UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus… nice hard drive with plenty of space for recording surveillance video!

Ordering was easy. Delivery was speedy. Installation went smoothly. …… and it’s so petite and cute on my desk.

the outlet does not stay connected. I have 2 of them and both with the same problem. Each time it disconnects I chance corrupting my files. Maybe it’s just the tones from B&H cause of have 2 others and they are fine.

I purchased two 4TB Seagate Backup Plus drives to store videos and photos. These were formatted to work with both MAC and PCs right out of the box. I simply plugged them in, and started copying images. No formatting, no software updates, they just worked. Very pleased!

If you have used a Seagate external HDD before, the quality didn’t change with this one. Thickness is about twice the 2TB external HDD (pretty slim). Nice exterior finish.
