A lot of storage in a small package. I am consolidating years of DSLR Photos which are on old CD’s so I can retrieve photos easier and have them on one storage unit and not try up my computers hard drive. I am very happy with the purchase.

It works. It’s quiet. It’s small. It’s fast. It’s connected to an ASUS router via USB 3.0. It’s nothing to get excited about…If only it was SSD at that price. It’s the end of my review.

Bought this for my partner, and she’s thrilled. She can back up her entire computer on the Hard Drive, and still have tons of room.

B&H replaced the defective drive with one that worked. However, there was a delay because they were only going to replace it with one of the same color. When I told them color wasn’t important, they shipped right away.

My old CaCie backup was full and no longer big enough. The Seagate 4TB was simple to set up and to configure as my backup and my Time Machine source. Loving it!

Good capacity, reputation of reliability

These little Seagate drives offer lots of storage for the price, and are powered by the USB connection (no power cord). A great solution for a laptop or desktop.

Having used multi-system generic backups like TRANSCEND, this product is wired into MS/Win-10, it appears. The Toolbox helper app is OK for full and unguided backups — but forget incremental where only new files in any folder are updated. Can’t do what good ol ZIP does in with ‘-u’! (At least I couldn’t find a update newer files in a selected folder option.) And not recognized by our Ubuntu systems. We’re a multi-OS company, using Win10 when forced, Ubuntu and CentOS for production-development. At least can use as a drive in Explorer and manually copy files — but very tedious with helper app. In hindsight, we should install an NAS and resurrect some scripts.

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

Use it to backup photo files. Works as advertised. I miss the light not blinking when it is loading just to give me reassurance.
Obie Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
Using the little short cord, it was immediately recognized by the computer. Time will tell, of course, its reliability. I will the Toolkit software would simply use the date stamp to identify older files instead of adding to the file label. Adding the extra wording to the file label makes it more complicated to simply use copy and paste to restore an old version.

I bought this to do backups of data. I move data from various places and various drives. It works fast. Easy to install. Mirror function is great

Good value in an external hard drive.

This heavy-duty backup is great. It backs up on an ongoing bases and there isn’t any setup needed for the Mac.
