The box was half open when it arrived, I got good deal on the 14th drive but it’s many loud noises when plug in, not sure if it has drop damage or not waiting for replacement.

BIG expansion desktop drive. This is my BU to my 8Tb NAS. USB 3.0 reads and writes FAST!
Eliane Haag (verified owner) –
I use it as an expansion drive for photo editing and it’s quiet, quick enough for my needs and affordable. I may get another one soon.

Using it as a back up for ex4.

I use this drive mainly as storage for backups. I also use it for general storage (photos, videos, etc). It is fast and easy to use. I’ve had it about one month and it has been flawless during that time. Time will tell as to its reliability. However, as of now, I can highly recommend this drive.

I needed a new storage drive for my video work and since I’ve been working with 4K video this seemed like a good option for my needs. The drive looks great and runs quiet although when it’s doing a lot of read/write cycles I can feel it running when I touch my desk. For me it’s not a big deal but for others, the vibration might be an issue. The drive comes preformatted for Windows (NTFS file system) but it can easily be reformatted for other O/S’s. I use Mac OS X so I had to reformat it but it’s not a big deal.

So buy a backup like this one, and put your mind at ease.

It’s doing what it’s supposed to for me, which is storage. Granted you can edit videos off this drive but if you have patience then you should be ok. Use proxies. I wouldn’t try editing 6k raw or anything heavy like that, but for storage of pictures, videos, etc. this is a good amount of space. I’ll probably buy more soon. When dealing with raw footage and images, space can run out quick.

Using as a backup drive with Windows backup software. Works as expected! Thanks, B&H, for the sale price!

As a owner of a production company, having multiple backups drives is a way of life. Every year I upgrade my drives to avoid a failure. This HD was the right size for the right price.

I use these Seagate external drives for back-ups of my data (mostly images), and I like their simplicity of use and minimal aesthetic. I can’t comment on their technical aspects or compare them to similar models by other makers, but so far I have never had one fail on me. That said, I use them very sparingly. I plug them in only when I am adding or accessing data, and otherwise leave them unplugged and detached from my computer between uses.

Just plug and go !!

This is my third Seagate 8Tb External in three years and I have, to date, not had any issues with these drives. This is not a 7200 rpm drive but it does allow you to hoard your backup copies of all those photos and videos that you are creating. Worth the purchase.
Mona Gutmann (verified owner) –
These are great value – 8Tb for less than what I’ve been paying for 5Tb. Delivery was quick and I was kept notified at each stage. I’ll be buying from here again.

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