We had a similar/maybe same unit in the past for backing up our server at the office. The new one is similarly fast/efficient and backing up our main server and Seagate external backup drives have been very reliable for us over the years… would recommend.

This is the second one of these drives I have purchased, but the first was a couple of months ago and it is working great so I believe this one will do as well. B&H is great to do business with.

Speed is about 120mb/sec max, on large files. I actually use this internally on a desktop. It seemed like it was very well sealed so I didn’t bother trying to crack it open. USB3.0 is 5Mbits/sec and SATA is 6Mbp/sec so nearly the same speed, but oh, this drive isn’t anywhere close to that so USB3.0 is fine for me. Cord could be longer but doesn’t constitute a star reduction.

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.

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 was surprised at the small footprint of this mid-sized backup external hard drive. It is easy to set up and once done, I don;t have to think (much) about it. Great investment for under $100.

I order from B&H it seems like every other week. I like to read the reviews And have had extremely good luck with everything I have ordered. I used to call and talk to the experts Back in the 90s When I was doing wedding videography. Now I am just A happily retired hobbiest.

It’s a hard drive. No way to rate its longevity until later. The blue color is more aluminum than blue, but fortunately I don’t care. It’s a little thicker than my 1T hard drive, but then it’s five times the capacity, so I’m happy. Oh. The teeny-tiny issue? The USB side of the connecting wire is all white, and though the sides are embossed differently, it’s impossible for me to tell which side is up. So I marked the top side with a sharpie and all is now well.

I Shucked this drive to use it in my Unifi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus. Drive is a normal SATA drive. Need a 5TB 2.5 but want it cheap? Look no further.

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.

When these are on sale they often provide the best storage value for the money.

Getting this 4 TB portable USB disk storage have provided an ease of mind against computer system hard disk crashes. I am using this portable disk as a repository that maintains all my computers recovery images. The capacity is large enough to maintain many image versions.
