Easy to crack open for shucking. The USB-SATA converters come in handy if you need a quick way to access a bare drive down the road.

I experienced data corruption when using cables other than the very short cable the drive ships with. Maybe I have bad cables but they seem to work fine with other drives.

Simple to set up and use and most importantly unlike others this EHD does what was needed in a simple to use method.

Looks turned on (light is illuminated), I hear a noise like it’s trying to boot, but it no longer shows up on any computer I plug it into.

I purchased an identical 8 terabyte Seagate 3 years ago for the purpose of backup and also transporting my Adobe Lightroom Classic Library of images between two computers at different locations. It has been flawless– truly plug and play. I expect the same outstanding performance for my recent purchase when we install it on our Mac.

I have been buying Seagate drives for years and they have always been reliable. This one has been easy to install and is quiet. Would recommend.

I am only buying Seagate now, after serious issues with WD. I dropped one star simply because larger drives today are not as dependable as smaller drives I still use after many years. I have some reporting perfect condition, which is really remarkable. In contrast, I am loosing larger drives much faster. I only use the larger disks for storage. The smaller disks, I am using in new builds, when they are retired from storage.

I’ve had so many bad experiences with WD that I refuse to buy another one. While Seagate maybe higher priced than the WD companies products but reliability and customer service is beyond reproach. I’ve had USB interfaces and bad cables cause drive failures and the power brownouts kill a drive in the past but Seagate is always great about repairing them under warranty. Of course I have had the bleeding edge drive reliability issue with every make of drive but Seagate stands behind their products and the others look for reasons to blame the user and deny warranty claims.

have 2 others also going for a while so far all is good quiet speed is acceptable, if you go for lunch or a looong coffee break……………………………………………………………. better than spending 10k$ on a 8Tb SSD keep em cool as they get very hot without cooling built a drive tower with fans with the air-conditioner 23c keeps em happy loading all day

The Seagate expansion was the perfect addition to my desktop setup. It has a very sleek design that anybody could appreciate, and now I have loads of storage. This is perfect for anyone with a job that requires a lot of downloads, movie buffs, or gamers! I feel like it’s quite durable as well, so I feel safe having my files backed up to this drive.

I use this hard drive on a daily basis. I’ve been using Seagates for awhile now and they are very reliable as long as you take proper care of them, of course.

My last hard drive lasted a week so I am positive. Its not 10TB, just 9.I don’t know why the manufacturer labels it a 10TB. Started up on Windows with no too much effort.
Irving Heathcote (verified owner) –
I have 6 of these – I buy them every so often strictly to archive all of my work – there simply for storage purposes, not used as primary drives. Bottom line – for my needs, they perform.

Cheapest way to get a good 8TB drive. Just bust the case open and remove the drive. I use mine in an OWC Thunderbolt bare drive dual bay unit for back ups. I’d recommend it as well.

Cheapest way to get a 8TB HD. Open this up and remove the drive and you just saved yourself some $$ over buying a bare internal HD I have 5 of the and they work flawlessly.

I use them for my high-density music files such as iso;dsf;dff;flac;wav…etc., and using it directly play music files daily. Their normal speed for copying are between 90 to 150 MHz….So far so good! Reliable! B & H is the most reliable seller in the World….

Have used all the major brands, Seagate has the best reputation for simply working. Only Seagate brand drives have never failed (fingers crossed!), this in a controlled environment, UPS etc etc. Two thumbs up!

I use it to store large volumes of data. I am not necessarily editing high volumes of video, so I am not sure how it would work for such users. Downloading video and playback are fine.
