seems to be working well, although it’s hard to know since I cannot pull up a view of what is on the drive on my MacBookAiir. Also, the reportedly easy installation took me several days and the arrival of a friend to help find the right connections among the cables provided. Hopefully, other purchasers will not encounter such difficulties.

I’ve only had this hard drive for a few weeks but it is doing everything it is suppose to. Easy plug-in and setup on my iMac.

I have a 3 year old Dell 2tb computer which is full, mainly because of photos, large photos from a Nikon D800. I have tried backing up my files on small portable hard drives oh, but it gets confusing on where everything is. Im so glad I got this hard drive as I have transferred over a hundred thousand photos to a folder, just by dragging and dropping, and I still have so much room. So glad I went with the a terabyte external hard drive as I can keep everything more organized. I highly recommend the Seagate 8tb expansion desktop external hard drive.

Upgraded from my previous extern hard drive, due to requiring more space. Transferred all the files over, easily.

I needed a compact external to replace my many external drives, this is the perfect solution. Very fast and efficient.

It should be a good hard drive for archiving files.

The constant grinding noise this thing makes is awful. I was going to just deal with it, but I can’t. I’m sending it back.

Takes up very little room on my desk. I only plug it in when I need to copy files from desktop to permanent storage, but even then it isn’t a loud unit. I don’t recommend keeping it plugged into your computer all the time, it will slow things down momentarily because everything else is SSD. Keep it handy, plug it in only when needed. Works great!

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.

happily it took my data, great backup drive for the price. Planning on storing it so ask again in a year or two. Hopefully I’ll never know othrwise.

Good harddrive so far. Haven’t had it too long, quick speed. Do hear the disk spinning so that is a little scary but normal.

Bought this for a backup drive we back up large video files and I will use a least 3 drives this on takes its time and sometimes at the end of larger files it will hang up for an hour or more I would have returned it but waited to long

Performing as expected after three weeks. Slightly noisier than the Western Digital drives, but I’m hoping it will be more reliable. Some of my WD drives have had trouble, including a 10TB drive which failed after the first year.

I decided to give Seagate a try since Western Digital wasn’t getting the stellar reviews it always has. I have many drives across a few brands, but needed to add more storage and retire a few older drives. This drive worked great– was fast and reliable, until, for no reason, it just stopped powering on. I have tried other outlets, power cords, etc. It is just dead.
