It is working

Worked right out of the box. Currently using as backup for multiple machines. Plugs into a powered USB hub with no problems. Will see how long it lasts, but so far so good.

I use this drive for personal use. To back up pictures, music files, and family movies. I used it for about two weeks flawlessly. Quick and successful file transfers, without issues. This is my 8th Seagate external backup hard drive. Seagate is always reliable.

Lots of room for storing backups.

The Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive is high quality, fast and reliable. I strongly recommend it.

This died after only backing up once. A couple of weeks after backing it up, I plugged it back into my PC to do another backup, and it just beeped and I could hear the arm motor try to move. Very disappointed.

Though slightly louder than previous external drives I’ve used, this one seems to work well. I now have two of them, working in tandem, and they each have enough capacity to store all my photos, documents, etc. (The reason I bought two is because I’ve had external drives fail in the past. This time, if one fails, I should still have my important files on the other one.) I can’t say whether these will be durable — only time can answer that one.

So buy a backup like this one, and put your mind at ease.

Five stars for the price/performance ratio. Not the fastest, not the most expensive. It’s really a good option for what I’m using it for which is an external Linux file store.
Cristal Murray (verified owner) –
Significantly speedier than the external drives it replaced even though they were also USB 3.0. A bit on the loud side, you’ll want a little cushioning underneath the drive to minimize noise. Once you do this the noise isn’t bad at all.

This drive seems to be a lot faster writing and reading data compared to my other drives. Since it is mainly an archival drive it doesn’t get daily use, but I still feel it’s faster.
Stevie Pacocha (verified owner) –
This is a great product for those who need extra storage and on the go. The read and write data transfer speed isn’t all that fast or great but it gets the job done for massive storage. I highly recommend this product from B&H because of their awesome team, reliable service, free expedited shipping, great products, and overall no one can beat their prices!

The 12TB Seagate Expansion for PC is awesome! I have a gaming PC that’s been pretty slow lately, so I’ve been needing to free up space. The Seagate Expansion is an extremely spacious external hard drive that is super easy to set up. I set the expansion up as my default backup device, so now I don’t have to worry about losing my files. I’m also using it to remove and store files from my computer so that I have more space for games. I was surprised when I initially removed the drive from the box because it’s much smaller than I anticipated, which was nice. It also came with a variety of plugs that work with international outlets, so I could bring this drive with me whenever I travel abroad. Overall, I’m very pleased with this external drive.

Connected the drive and backed up 200Gb in less than 1 hour. The drive functioned without issue.

I used these drives for backing up my own NZ railroad video and sound files, work files and final writes. Great value buying these larger units from B & H along with my DVD and BR disc needs. Super quick delivery for the over 14,000km distance also.

I contacted B&H and received excellent support and professional assistance, they are my go to company now, Amazon is out!!!

This is a nicely packaged and solid product. You will hear the actuator as the heads move, but that’s not an issue for me. It is moving more mass (read/write heads) than my 4TB and 8TB drives, so I’m not really surprised. Installs easily and works well.

Hello, I bought a 14TB external drive, the drive arrived on time, but encountered two issues, 1. The drive is extremely noisy, like a burst of shots every time I write about it, 2. The transfer rate really changes, and sometimes drops to 7 mb / s and does not maintain a high transfer rate And uniform, should the product be returned or can they be remotely inspected and repaired? I would love for you to get back to me, thank you
