Couldn’t be more simple on Win10–plug and play and get enormous boost in capacity.

I use this for preserving a lot of video files from a high quality film production. This product fill up my needs and are big enough for storage.

Our new Macbook Pro doesn’t have enough storage for doing Photoshop/Lightroom so we got a 16 TB 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3 to act as the main drive for the system. The Seagate expansion drive has been the perfect complement to this setup since it allows us to do simple local backups of our main drive. So far it has proven simple and reliable. We have always had good experiences with Seagate. Highly recommended.

I guess that is all I can tell so far. Why ask for a review just after purchase? I need time, at least a year or three to see how reliable it is.

This works great, the set up was extremely easy. I’m not a very “tech-ey” person but this was super user friendly. Transferring files has always sounded very foreign to me, I can say that I’m way more comfortable now.

Only thing I miss is not having another USB connection so I can daisy chain additional drives.

Ordered quickly from Amazon the first time and the Seagate 8TB that arrived was obviously fake. The ac power adapter cheap and flimsy, the lettering on the drive itself crooked, and it would never even power up. Returned and purchase the real thing from B&H. Let it be a lesson, just purchase from B&H and avoid the flimflam artists out there.

I’ve had this Seagate drive for 2 weeks and so far so good. Pretty much plug and play, easy set up, file/album creation straight forward. Time will tell if my pictures are there when I go to retrieve them. Love the customer service of B&H. You are the best!

For work, I have to keep tons of large files including videos and images on my laptop. I got one of these Seagate Expansion desktop 12TB and it did the trick. It’s a great option for an external hard drive. Highly recommend if you need the extra space!

I had a need for backup storage of my most precious documents. This is the best external drive I’ve eve owned.

Using it as a backup location for all my data. It does give out a bit more noise compared to my older 5TB external hard drive, but have not observed any issue with performance yet.

I put this drive on my Xbox One and it formatted for games right away with absolutely no issues. I then copied my games from my 3TB external Seagate drive and again it was without issue. I am now using the drive for my Xbox One external storage and it is working flawlessly. I have never had any issues with my Seagate drives. The only drive that I ever had an issue with was a WD drive. I know others have different experiences but if I were going to buy another drive I would purchase Seagate.
