Built with a compact form factor and ready for on-the-go usage, the 2TB Expansion Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive from Seagate is preformatted exFAT, meaning it is compatible with Windows and Mac right out of the box. This hard drive provides a storage capacity of up to 2TB and connects to your host system using its micro-USB 3.0 interface, which also provides bus power using an included USB 3.0 cable, meaning that no external power is required. Copy and saving data is easy – simply drag and drop. Also included is Seagate’s Rescue Data Recovery Services.
Please note that reformatting may be required for use with Apple’s Time Machine. Also, Rescue Data Recovery Services is not available in all countries.

Not really much I can say about this hard drive; its a hard drive. It does what I need it to do which is store digitized movies. But it IS yet another successful transaction with B&H. Have been doing business with them for years and never had an unhappy experience.

It Doesn’t Need Power. It Doesn’t Need Cooling. It’s Affordable. It’s Portable.

Great price, fast device on USB3. I put this on my Linksys WRT1900AC router as a shared local drive for storing videos and backing up my PC. Works well.

This little external hard drive saves a lot of everything. I’ve put all of my files from my computer and It barely made a dent in the amount of data saved. I have enough space, that I will not if ever have to buy another one again. Very pleased to have all my work files in one place. The price was very reasonable when I bought it.

Great drive so far and I’ve always used Seagate drives for photography. Not sure when a 3.63TB drive became classified as a 4TB drive though. The actual capacity right out of the box with nothing on it is 3.63TB, so just know that you’re getting shorted almost a half a TB. That’s a little dissapointing when capacity is my primary reason for upgrading to a new drive. Not B&H’s fault, but it would be nice to see that info under the specs.

I use SSDs for editing but archive raw video and projects on HDDs. I’ve had great success and no problem from more than 15 years of hard drives. These, not so much. I bought two, one didn’t work and one was unbelievably slow. I could not transfer files to the first, even after reformatting it. Brick. The second took 6 hours to transfer 120G of files, often dipping below 1MB/s (topping out at 10Mb/s occasionally) I understand that HDDs are much slower than their solid state counterparts, but this is really bad. This makes me uncomfortable about the reliability of them. I see a lot of good reviews and have had success with WD in the past. So, like the review title suggests, maybe I got a bad batch.

I have used Seagate 4TB external Desktop drives for years, but chose to use a smaller portable drive. So far so good, but more importantly, I really like the size!

Just plug ‘n play. I use it with Lightroom for my tens of thousands of images. It seems a good option if you’re looking for a portable backup device.

I purchase this drive to store photos and documents that were on an older PC that I was not using any more. It really fits the bill.

I bought this drive to save RAW files while tethered to my laptop. Works well with my setup. It’s fast enough (I shoot architecture) and big enough to serve my needs. The only possible complaint I could have is there is no light indicators that it’s attached and awake.

Big capacity, moderate price. Fast delivery. I am satisfied.
