Though slightly louder than previous external drives I’ve used, this one seems to work well. I now have two of them, working in tandem, and they each have enough capacity to store all my photos, documents, etc. (The reason I bought two is because I’ve had external drives fail in the past. This time, if one fails, I should still have my important files on the other one.) I can’t say whether these will be durable — only time can answer that one.

This hard drive works great if you don’t move it. It is a bit slow to respond though. It takes a couple seconds to wake up if I stop using it for a while.

It’s early days to make sure it lasts, but no problems so far. Quieter than I was led to expect from some other reviews, and fast. Great for storing music files which exist on portable drives as well. So, so far, so good.

it works great, and is just what I needed. Is the best price I found on the market.

Finally all my data on only drive! Easy to use, quick access. What else could you want?

I’ve been using WD My Book and My Cloud for years. I find this drive easier to use and set up. I find the access equal to the WD drives

We are using it as a Time Machine Drive for a Retina iMac for video work. No Problems!

Fast and quiet drive. I use it as a back up drive only. I don’t work off the drive. Data transfer speeds are great. As a part of my multiple backup workflow for storing photos it does its job. I replaced one of my Western Digital drives with this one because that drive was all kinds of slow and noisy. I’m very glad I did and will probably switch to only using Seagate drives from now on.

An affordable way to back up your footage. I haven’t had any drive failures so far and I’ve had several of these for years.

I bought 3 of these for backup for my photos that had filled my 5T external hard drives. The 5T were portable so no AC power. But they were fine. So I bought these WITH AC power, and lots of space and it’s like watching grass grow when I save or retrieve. It’s not my computer. It’s hefty, lots of memory, power, graphics capability. But I can wait for 30 seconds or longer for this 14T hard drive to give me a photo, or save a photo. It’s not just one of them that’s a problem. I back up to 2 of them and they’re equally slow. And they moan, groan while they wake up, while they save. I hate them. I’m going to wipe them and give all 3 away and start over again with something that’s worth having. This is beyond frustrating and tiresome.

I’ve had this Seagate drive for 2 weeks and so far so good. Pretty much plug and play, easy set up, file/album creation straight forward. Time will tell if my pictures are there when I go to retrieve them. Love the customer service of B&H. You are the best!

I did not expect to buy this model, but with a great sale price I was able to get more memory than I expected.

the 8TB drive is actually 7.27TB and when you google 7.27 you can readabkut how this is an accepted thing that some companies do when calculating size.
