So far, so good. Goes to sleep when the computer does, which should increase its life. If the drive lasts for a couple of years, five stars are appropriate, but if it should fail tomorrow, I would give it only one star.

Easy to use! Just plug into your laptop or desktop and go! Decent transfer speed. So far I’ve transferred close to 1 TB of photo files for safe keeping! It’s helped speed up my laptop too!!

I currently own 5x 8TB Expansion drive already. This is a review for my purchase order of 10x 8TB Seagate Expansion drives. Not only am I satisfied with my product, purchase experience, and service but I’m glad B&H provides extreemly low pricing no one can beat! I’m a Customer for life! Thank you B&H team! This product arrived extremely quickly, in a well protected packaging. Overall Seagate is a great product, data read and write speed is fast, quality material such as the hard drive housing is dourable, needs a little more air circulation.

I have used Seagate External Hard Drives for many years . They’ve been reliable. Just in case, I always back up my photos on 2 External Dives !

Hello, I bought a 14TB external drive, the drive arrived on time, but encountered two issues, 1. The drive is extremely noisy, like a burst of shots every time I write about it, 2. The transfer rate really changes, and sometimes drops to 7 mb / s and does not maintain a high transfer rate And uniform, should the product be returned or can they be remotely inspected and repaired? I would love for you to get back to me, thank you

Does exactly what I need it to do. This is my second one. Perfect.

I got worried when I noticed the packaging only said Windows compatible, AFTER I had already opened it. lol But I just had to reformat, and all is well. Nice form factor, relatively compact for the capacity.

Works as expected. Good value for an external hard drive.

I download all my photos onto a backup drive, then back up on a second backup drive. I use the Seagate drives for this, and the 8TB drive has given me a year of backup storage.

A good choice after dealing with 5 Hard drives of 1TB and 500GB. Perfect for making backups of my whole video and audio stuff. No need to worry anymore about losing my smaller external hard drives with personal information.

I use these to backup my Mac and they work beautifully. Quiet, small form, and so far theyve been very reliable. Thanks B&H for a great price, fast shipping and a positive experience!

Drive works aok but a power switch would improve safety. Plugging in directly to power causes a spark and a power surge which could damage the drive.
