Built with a compact form factor and ready for on-the-go usage, the 5TB 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 5TB 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.

I purchased this drive as a bulk backup for a lot of photos and audio files. It isn’t the fastest, but I’m used to the high performance SSD drives. This does the job it was intended.

I purchased the unit to back up files from a soon to be decommissioned 2012 MacAir computer. The transfer went smoothly and as far as I can tell perfectly. Intended use is as a static back up, that is, it is for security of existing material rather than ongoing addition of new files. For the price, it seems just right for what I need.

Works really good, no problems at all

Especially with a new iMac. Online setup instructions are detailed enough for this portable — BTW, they gave some clues about setting up a competitor’s hard drive.

This device allows for daily backup’s of my Mac machine and works great. I would buy another one in a minute if I had a need for it.

Its the second Seagate 4 Tb I have and, as some others of 1 or 2 Tb Seagates that I own, this is fast, light, small, reliable, secure. Besides, its a long long time since I crashed one of these, so, so far, they work Ok for me.

These drives are notorious for failing after a few months. Mine refuses to mount on any computer.

I needed extra storage for my 1TB PlayStation 4 and this hard drive did the job and for a great price. Looks very sleek and modern. Works great so far. The PS4 formatted the drive in about one minute and it was ready to go.

It works very well as a backup drive. It is fast even with 2TB of memory. I use Macrium Reflect as my backup software once a day. This works very smoothly. Since my laptop is 1TB, I use the extra 1TB space on the external hard drive for temporary storage of other files. The price is so low that it is not worth getting a lower capacity drive.

Great price, easy setup. Just what I needed to expand external memory.

Slightly thicker than its 2 TB cousin. Seagate performance in an extremely portable size. Wouldn’t purchase any other brand.

This is a great small portable hard drive that has lots of space. It was easy to format and has good speeds.
