So far, it’s performed perfectly.
Edmund Monahan (verified owner) –
Regularly (several times an hour) disconnects and reconnects to my machine. This is fine unless files are being transferred, at which point it becomes a major annoyance.

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.

Fast… Rugged… Quality… This drive ate up all my data from various portable media without a single burp…. Rocket fast and gives confidence to any backup task
Lelia Prosacco (verified owner) –
Quiet, fast, cold – that’s how I can describe this hard drive! I have more than 10 devices, and after two years everything is in excellent condition.
Van Larkin (verified owner) –
Seagate is only one of two brands from which I will purchase this type of electronic. Very easy to use and is always dependable.
Erin Turner (verified owner) –
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.
Delores Hackett (verified owner) –
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.
Hillary Muller (verified owner) –
I have been using this drive constantly since it was delivered. I chose it because of its high reliability ratings from multiple reviewers, and I find its speed more than adequate for my purposes. True: the cable is a bit short, but since I have it just above my desktop machine, that doesn’t present a problem. Definitely recommended.

I purchased October 2017, now fail lost 7tb of data. This is second Seagate fail, I never purchased more than 10 years, unfortunately I purchased this and I will regret rest of my live by purchasing another garbage Seagate. I just ordered safe WD external harddrive only one fail all 20 years used.

The hard drive is really slim and looks like a neat toy. I have it too short to make some valuable conclusion. However, if you expect to get Includes 200GB of cloud storage with OneDrive for 2 years as advertised, you may get disappointed. There is no info how to get it. Actually, this is not only with the item sold by BH. I got sooner a similar product from a different store with the same issue.
Lisa Kessler (verified owner) –
It’s my 5th Seagate drive and i’m a happy customer, it’s not the fastest of drives but good enough speed for my needs, 5T, nice design, all-in-all good product.
Mitchel O’Kon (verified owner) –
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!
Joey Gerlach (verified owner) –
Love Seagate drives for price and function.
Vivianne McKenzie (verified owner) –
Compact, portable and fasssst! I now have a couple of these that I use for storing my images-in lieu of burdening my computer.
Hazel Nicolas (verified owner) –
I bought this to replace my old 2TB backup drive. It’s built like a tank, works perfectly and was very reasonably priced.
Herminia Ullrich (verified owner) –
Small, powerful, works as well as promised.
Estelle Bernier (verified owner) –
This is the third of these I’ve purchased now! The first two were 4tb versions. They’ve ALL worked just fine, and this one is no exception!
Jamil Spencer (verified owner) –
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.
Chelsea Okuneva (verified owner) –
I have five more hard drives, this one came with a lower finish than the others of the same make and model.
