Picked up this drive on sale to store media for a Plex server. It performs great, doesn’t get too warm, and has decent read/write speeds.

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS network attached storage box and I used this 8TB drive to backup my NAS. This is not a fast drive and I wouldnt use it for anything but a backup and to store large files that you dont use often. It works perfectly for doing incremental backups After the initial copy (which can take awhile if you have a lot of data) Im only updating files that change. My NAS is setup to automatically copy and adds/changes/deletes and this drive is great fit for that task.

Amazing storage per TB considering current pricing and the drive is achieving transfer speed of 242MB/s on a standard USB 3 port, (so I would assume on a 3.1 as well). ‘The noise issue’ some report, depends what you put the unit on. Putting the drive directly on wood appears to bring out a harmonic frequency ‘piezo’ speaker effect and on a metal base, it downright rings. Put the drive on a mouse pad buffer first and the thing is very quiet.

It’s early days to make sure it lasts, but no problems so far. Quieter than I was led to expect from some other reviews, and fast. Great for storing music files which exist on portable drives as well. So, so far, so good.

Well made, didn’t leave this review until a few months have passed (6 months) No issues working perfect.

I strongly recommend this product for anyone looking for a desktop backup solution.

I use this as a media library in my living room, so it’s only gotten light use over the past 3 months, but I have no issues with it.
Everett Kessler (verified owner) –
I knew what I wanted, but didn’t know where to get it, but felt the pricing was fair @ B&H Photo. Ordering was easy and it came earlier than expected, in good packaging and in good shape. I will use them again.

Drive was simple to install and 10TB is a lot of storage. It is very quiet and will go into a reduced power state after a period of time so it’s not always running. Very nice and would recommend to anyone needing a lot of inexpensive storage.
Litzy Schneider (verified owner) –
I already had one of this brand 6TB, I love how it works so now I took an 18TB, and I’m satisfied!

Seagate makes an affordable and solid backup disk. I have many of them now. They don’t take up much room on my desk, I like that they stand upright and they make very little noise. Shooting 100MP cameras these days seems to create lots of data and this drive deals with it very well.

Bought 3. Already had one fail.
Presley Dare (verified owner) –
I bought 3 of these for backup for my photos that had filled my 5T external hard drives. The 5T were portable so no AC power. But they were fine. So I bought these WITH AC power, and lots of space and it’s like watching grass grow when I save or retrieve. It’s not my computer. It’s hefty, lots of memory, power, graphics capability. But I can wait for 30 seconds or longer for this 14T hard drive to give me a photo, or save a photo. It’s not just one of them that’s a problem. I back up to 2 of them and they’re equally slow. And they moan, groan while they wake up, while they save. I hate them. I’m going to wipe them and give all 3 away and start over again with something that’s worth having. This is beyond frustrating and tiresome.

Not the fastest drive I’ve ever owned but great for storage which is why I purchased it.
