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 used this HDD with my Mac Book Pro 15- 2017 and and I’m not very happy with it. It’s not fast, and i had some problems to format.

Easy to use and backup my important docs. Photo’s docs and clips are safely stored! Get one for your backup or other useful storage ideas!

Using this as a backup drive; it works fine. Speed is unexceptional but that’s not a problem for a backup drive.

There are better and faster external drives, but I have three of these and have never had a problem that I didn’t cause myself. I would recommend them for a stationary situations such as I have in my studio.

Amazing fast.

Does what it is supposed to. Only criticism is that the included cable is a bit short for a desktop.

Perfect Transaction & Product

This external hard drive is a really good buy. It’s small compact, light weight and very easy to use. 5 tb space is much more than you will ever need for storage purposes. Very sleek design and can fit easily in your pocket.

I attached to my Mac book pro and it works fine. I transfer all downloads to my external.

I bought this to extend the storage on an Xbox One. Plugged in and was downloading in a few minutes. Formatting was simple and quick. It’s only been a week, but so far so good. I’ve had other Seagate drives with years of service and still going strong. I hope the same for this one.

Nice deal at B&H. The storage unit was exactly what was looking for and at a price that felt very comfortable paying. Delivery was in time and service flawless.
Avery Harris (verified owner) –
Yep, a bit larger than an iPhone but it has 5TB of storage. I’ve just begun using it. It should be as reliable as the other Seagate Drives I’ve used. They’ve all lasted a long time. No complaints. Definitely like the smaller size.

Very happy with this hd. Great price and a good product it worked well with my mac. I was afraid it would be hard to reconfigure but it was super easy. I like the design too.
