I purchased this drive to add 4TB to my Xbox One which was FULL rather quickly. Nice design & SIMPLE plug & play with only a QUICK format of the drive once you plug it in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

incredible how reliable is this big hard drive for the low price it has. I have 17 hard drives full of back up of images, I am a photographer and I always rely on seagate hard drives, for years

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 already had one of this brand 6TB, I love how it works so now I took an 18TB, and I’m satisfied!

Significantly speedier than the external drives it replaced even though they were also USB 3.0. A bit on the loud side, you’ll want a little cushioning underneath the drive to minimize noise. Once you do this the noise isn’t bad at all.

Device is very very fragile so I cannot recommend it. It’s only been in use a couple of weeks and after being simply knocked over from the upright position it started peeping and then failed to spin up. So if you’re using one of these be sure it’s in a very stable location.

I purchased this super-large USB drive as a dedicated backup to my 8GB Synology NAS which as a USB Backup application. The extra capacity provides future space for versioning and archive of deleted files.

I do video production work, currently completing a documentary on a haunted attraction (using footage from the past 20 years). Footage runs from VHS-C, DVcam, 1080p HD to 4K. I needed to store backup. Price was very good with B & H, plus quick delivery. So far, everything is as it should be. Reason I always buy from B & H.

Great non-Shingled Magnetic Recording Exos Enterprise-level drive inside!

Drive performs as expected without all of the odd noises that used to plague the Seagate drives. Pretty quick for a USB3 drive with sustained write speeds over 120MB/s. Reliable transfer while backing up over 12TB of data with integrity check from a NAS without issue over a couple days. As usual for B&H good price and fast delivery for a nice product, can’t go wrong here.

The first drive failed within a week. BH would NOT give me a refund/credit as I did not have the original box anymore. I got the replacement and now, 6 months later, it has failed AGAIN!! I’ve lost a significant amount of data. I have dozens and dozens of external drives and not one have ever failed. None. This drive failing TWICE now speaks volumes of Seagates quality.

hook drive up to 2 seperate computers and drive did not work, was not spinning and computer did not recognize it not to happy with this
Camila Kertzmann (verified owner) –
I bought this for my iMac. I needed a big drive to store video files. I do not work directly off of the drive, so I can’t comment on how fast it would be for something like that. As a backup and to transfer files though it works quick enough. I did have to reformat the drive the first time I hooked it up, it isn’t formatted for Mac straight out of the box.

USB 3.0 not super fast but stable. Big capacity, not fast but for the price its great.

10 puntos!
Newell Dietrich (verified owner) –
Have a few SG externals, so have always been good for me. This one was easy to get started with. On a 3.0 USB port, it’s smooth as glass and fast. Happy with it, as I usually am with Seagate!

This is my 3rd Seagate external HD, which I lined up next to a 5 and 6 TB. Again a Seagate because they never let me down. Great transfer speed, silent operation.

This is a nicely packaged and solid product. You will hear the actuator as the heads move, but that’s not an issue for me. It is moving more mass (read/write heads) than my 4TB and 8TB drives, so I’m not really surprised. Installs easily and works well.
