This is my 3rd Seagate external HD, which I lined up next to a 5 and 6 TB. Again a Seagate because they never let me down. Great transfer speed, silent operation.

I’ve been using WD My Book and My Cloud for years. I find this drive easier to use and set up. I find the access equal to the WD drives

This is my 4th Seagate hard drive and all have been great. I just keep getting Seagate and each time a bigger TB capacity. They have not let me down yet. Still have my oldest one running but needs to be retired . only 1TB and over 8 years old.

I added this external drive to my desktop PC for backing up my photography library. It’s fast, quiet and I’ve always had good luck with Seagate product reliability.

Super easy to hook up to my Mac, and worked right out of box. What more could anyone want.

I use these to backup my Mac and they work beautifully. Quiet, small form, and so far theyve been very reliable. Thanks B&H for a great price, fast shipping and a positive experience!

I’ve only had this hard drive for a few weeks but it is doing everything it is suppose to. Easy plug-in and setup on my iMac.

I haven’t had the Seagate 3tb External Hard drive long; I transfer photos once a month, so my initial transfer went smoothly with no problems. The only reason I’m giving a 4 star is because I haven’t used much yet.

Works well on both OSX and Windows, no Linux tests yet. USB 3.0 speeds aren’t my favorite, but they definitely can get the job done. Have an army of these things for backup footage and art assets for projects. Wouldn’t recommend editing anything from these, they are just good for storage. No heat issues, all of mine are really quiet so unsure of the noise issues for others.

Upgraded from my previous extern hard drive, due to requiring more space. Transferred all the files over, easily.

Drive works aok but a power switch would improve safety. Plugging in directly to power causes a spark and a power surge which could damage the drive.

Thanks to Seagate for not raising prices due to Chia mining. WD has gone mad by almost doubling their prices

It’s great having lots of storage around, especially for backing up other, smaller drives.
