Lightweight mobile ExHD provides heavyweight performance & storage capacity. We now have 2 and they have worked flawlessly with the USB 3.0 plug.

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.

We have been using Seagate external disks for 6 years, we never have had troubles. At this time, I purchased it again. It is cheaper than amazon, delivery is quicker too. Thanks to B&h

I have had the drive about a month now and have no problems with it. With that said, the free backup software that can be downloaded is not worth much, very limited. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

I bought a second external hard drive because my traveling and needs to back my images on the road, First one is very reliable and easy to carry so I decide to purchase another one and I’m very happy for price and portable size and specially 5TB storage need it for drone footage and photos!

Have had for several months and have not had any issues with the drive. Not sure about transfer speeds but is faster then previous external hard drive.
Alphonso Hill (verified owner) –
Setting up the drive is so easy and I have found it to be a solid and sturdy product. I own 2, one for use and one for backup.

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.
