I added this external drive to my desktop PC for backing up my photography library. It’s fast, quiet and I’ve always had good luck with Seagate product reliability.

Good speeds, tested the entire drive, both read and write were as good as any other 7200rpm top tier drive.

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….

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 have bought this disk for back up. It is fastest than I supposed. It has plenty of room for backing up videos and photos.

I bought this to back up a master project drive and used the professional software, Hedge, to initiate the process. About 30% into the backup process it failed, and corrupted the drive… Immediately returned it and move to WD.

I bought this to back up my Samsung SSDs for video work. After 4 months, I keep getting an error saying that my MacBook Pro can’t repair the drive and suggests backing up the drive as soon as possible. It is now a read-only drive with no way to fix it except formating.

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.

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

It works as it should.

Purchase this drive as an archival backup and you will be very, very happy.

It is great to have a large external back-up for my images. The unit is a little noisy at times. It does serve it purpose and that’s what is important.

I have been purchasing Seagate products for probably 20 years now. It is one of the first brand names I look for when purchasing a new drive.

This Seagate 18TB drive performs consistently well so I’m going to address a few of the criticisms stated here: 1. Noise is no worse than any other hard drive you may have 2. Speed It is designed for huge chunks of data and speed is not/should not be the primary consideration. If you want speed then get an Nvme SSD. It is not going to be as fast as your internal drive or an SSD but it is acceptable for what it can do. I use it with a Mac myself, but did not reformat it and left it in EX-FAT format. Yet even so the speed is not bad, and it makes it more universally usable for transfers, etc. It is primarily a backup for me; I wouldn’t use any external drive as a primary source for data. Thus I am using Nvme SSDs for speed and then backing up on this drive. It is perfect for that purpose.

Excellent drive to store videos
Gail Hermann (verified owner) –
After switching from Canon to the GH5, my file sizes were upped in a big way. After a ton of research, I decided to not spend almost double the price for G-tech drives or LaCie. I know both of those are really reliable drives, but Ive never had any issues with any Seagate drives Ive owned. The first 8tb I bought has been plugged into my PC since Ive had it… that means a TON of run time. On Black Friday 2018, I was on a mission for 2 more 8tb drives (not necessarily this exact drive, but something cost friendly). Long story short(er), my exact drive was marked down by $40-$50… Without any hesitation I bought 2 more 8tb. I plan on using these drives as long as they are in production. Im not sure about their ruggedness, but since these 8tb stay in my gear closet or on my desk, Im not too worried about mishandling them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 10/10 Would smash that buy button again.

Third Seagate drive for back up. The more time goes on the more TBs I need. Works decent.
