Would be a great product if it worked on all my computers. It only works on one of my 3 computers at home, (It’s not a USB 3 issue, they all have USB 3)

I liked this fast, reliable, easy and simple back up system with this affordable price range.

Works seemlessly.

I use these Seagate external drives for back-ups of my data (mostly images), and I like their simplicity of use and minimal aesthetic. I can’t comment on their technical aspects or compare them to similar models by other makers, but so far I have never had one fail on me. That said, I use them very sparingly. I plug them in only when I am adding or accessing data, and otherwise leave them unplugged and detached from my computer between uses.

I use it as an expansion drive for photo editing and it’s quiet, quick enough for my needs and affordable. I may get another one soon.

Excellent drive to partition into 3 and clone 3 source drives. Pretty wueit too. I wish it had a power switch but great unit

I reformatted quickly to a Mac compliant drive and filled it up and now sits on a shelf hopefully to never be called upon for the real test.

I needed a new storage drive for my video work and since I’ve been working with 4K video this seemed like a good option for my needs. The drive looks great and runs quiet although when it’s doing a lot of read/write cycles I can feel it running when I touch my desk. For me it’s not a big deal but for others, the vibration might be an issue. The drive comes preformatted for Windows (NTFS file system) but it can easily be reformatted for other O/S’s. I use Mac OS X so I had to reformat it but it’s not a big deal.

Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive I love it…..
Zane Little (verified owner) –
package is fine. needs a special power supply (it does come with one) so can’t work off a USB power cord. capacity only 7.27 GB rather than 8 GB.
Jacinto Gaylord (verified owner) –

I received the item well packaged and it’s working perfectly fine.

I finally decided to consolidate my back up drives from 10 to 2—these Seagate 8 Tb drives worked right from the plug in, needed no formatting and so far so good—been using them ~ 1 week so far, so let’s see how long they last?
Napoleon Erdman (verified owner) –
I like that the Seatgate 4TB has an ac power source…it makes me feel it is more reliable as a back up. And the price for a 4T is terrific.
Penelope Jenkins (verified owner) –
No mention of speed in the specs, should have looked into it more, maxing out at 20-30 MB/s, otherwise its okay. But that’s REALLY slow for a USB 3.0 drive 🙁 They should have mentioned this in the specs. I’ll likely keep it but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Maya Klein (verified owner) –
it works well, loud but according to tests seagate is most reliable brand, and i can attest to that, nowadays where there is only essentially 2 companies on the market its either western digital and all companies it has bought vs seagate. I have had seagate and thoshbia portable hard drives failed on me but never seagate. also was not a problem with opening it via app on mac with its native ntsf format.
