The cost is reasonable, I did not pay a lot of taxes in Mexico, I recommend it a lot!

Its a fast drive 7200rpm and there is an exos drive inside

Another stellar product by Seagate, this 12TB drive is just what I needed for all my video editing and storage issues. I’d just upgraded to a 2TB internal and it was already quickly filling up, so I ended up getting this, since I’ve never had issues with Seagate.

I don’t know why the vendors expect us to review drives when we first plug them in. How can I give a hard drive a 5 star rating until they’ve run for 4 or 5 years with no issues. So far so good, however. I use a product called Crashplan for cloud and local backup option and I recommend it. I find it works a little smoother on Macs than Carbonite, which works great on my wife’s Windows PC. I use one STEB3000100 3TB for my data, and a 2nd one as backup to the data drive. Crashplan backs up my important files to the cloud on an ongoing basis, for me that’s about 400 GB. I also have Crashplan backup all my data to the 2nd Seagate and keep them identical. Works fine. I don’t even know it’s there.

I’ve looked far and wide for large storage options for video footage and this is great. I store all my old projects on these and have never had an issue. One thing to know is that you do not want to lose the power cable to this guy. It will only work with the seagate power supply.

Have a few SG externals, so have always been good for me. This one was easy to get started with. On a 3.0 USB port, it’s smooth as glass and fast. Happy with it, as I usually am with Seagate!

Ive attached the Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive to my Synology NAS. Works great.
Ramon Hamill (verified owner) –
Everything works as expected after a few weeks. This was my first external hard drive needing a power cord, but that’s not an issue for me. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because it’s a bit loud and will vibrate the desk.

This is one of the highest capacity external drives you can buy for a cheap price. Great value for money.
Rahsaan Hoppe (verified owner) –
This hard drive does exactly what it’s supposed to. I have no problems or complaints.
Christy Douglas (verified owner) –
I purchased this super-large USB drive as a dedicated backup to my 8GB Synology NAS which as a USB Backup application. The extra capacity provides future space for versioning and archive of deleted files.
Myrl Collier (verified owner) –
I use this to simply store images in all formats, and some documents. It is stationary and not subject to periodic movement. It does the job as expected. I have other Expansion drives that all do the job and at a fraction of the cost of other units. Speed is not important for this function.

Exactly what I needed for backup purposes.

Hope it don’t crash, just saying !

First Seagate was an internal add-on to my Mac G5. It lived as long as the computer (years) with no issues. Second was a 3TB external, now several years old, used with my previous iMac–the 3TB still works fine. This drive was bought for use with the new 2019 iMac–I wanted more space for large photo and video files. Reformatting for Mac is effortless and takes only a few minutes with Disk Utility. One thing I like about the Seagates is that they make little noise when working. Some drives sound like they are shredding your data–not these.

Great track record. It just works!

I have been buying records of this brand for years, hopefully they have never been damaged, they are safe, they look good on the desktop, the best thing is that they are very reliable, I will continue to buy more of this brand

Device is very very fragile so I cannot recommend it. It’s only been in use a couple of weeks and after being simply knocked over from the upright position it started peeping and then failed to spin up. So if you’re using one of these be sure it’s in a very stable location.
