Seagate has done it again. This huge drive will hold most of your extensive music or photo collection, and B&H has a great price on it. A wonderful value.

Makes a random knocking sound.

Plugged the external enclosure in my NAS running OMV. Formatted it and is running great. Streams all my 4k and 1080p movies/shows just fine. Already had another 12tb external, but it was getting filled up.

This is my 2nd purchase for this model drive. Haven’t had any issues with them so far. I had to format these before using, which takes about 24 hours, which helps insures my writing on these later without errors. I’m using these on my server to store movies on my Plex, which I haven’t had any lag or hesitations on movies when watching them. They do rattle a little at times when reading/writing but not enough to bother me. The drives do run a little on the warm side but during the cold days helps to keep my room warm. In the summer gotta make sure to keep the room air conditioned/cool to avoid overheating/failures. I would get another if these get full.

My first revue of the 8TB Expansion is excellent. It is fast and reliable. It is good selection for backup. Sigmundur Andresson

I use this for preserving a lot of video files from a high quality film production. This product fill up my needs and are big enough for storage.

I am using this drive as a back up for my Synology system. I formatted it using Synology and it works perfectly out of the box.
Janessa Roberts (verified owner) –
I had the 8Tb version, and it was fine, but the 14Tb went on sale, so I snapped it up. A tiny bit slower and louder than the 8Tb model, but nearly double the storage. Plug it in only when needed, otherwise it’ll slow down other computer functions.

Exactly what you have read about this product : a lot of disk space for a cheap price.

Everything I could have hoped for!

Am using this with M1 MacBook Pro 13 and OWC Thunderbolt dock. Initially I thought it was owrking great but two things are making it look really shakey. (1) it keeps undocking and reconnecting itself, every few hours, and (2) trying to copy files from this drive back to another drive is failing due to unrecognized characters in file name. Sad. No other drive has these problems at all, not even a little bit. Very sad.

It’s ok for backing up footage but is very slow
Valentina Metz (verified owner) –
Have only been using it for a month but so far, so good. It is smaller than I expected and also winds down to sleep mode once my back up is complete so I don’t have to worry about powering it off and on. Overall, it serves it purpose w/o hassle. I would buy it again.
Craig Osinski (verified owner) –
Works great, a little slow but I update at night. I love the Extra storage space. Super fast shipping.
Anya Steuber (verified owner) –
I bought this drive to back up the contents of my computers and then store in my fire safe. It’s got a lot of capacity for its size, so it’s convenient for my purposes.
Gertrude Davis (verified owner) –
I got this for periodic backups and archives. Works great. I do wish it had a USB A and or C connection type. Those may be slower, but most folk already have those cables on hand. I worry about the lack of cooling and dust removal options, but no issues so far.

Easy plug and play set up. Worked immediately with my Mac and I started dragging and dropping files immediately.
