Tried to get this drive to mount on 3 of my Macs (running 10.13.3) to no avail. Maybe I just got a bad one?

If you are considering the purchase of a new hard drive, think about what tasks you expect from the drive and how you intend to use it. I do not expect this to be the fastest drive and do not utilize it as a daily scratch disk. Purchased as a network backup and archival storage, this drive is perfect for that task. Unlike other reviews, I have found zero issues with the drive or included power and cables. Plug. Play. Archive.

Great price fast delivery no tax

This is a great HDD. I wish it had a power button to be switched off when not in use. I use this connected to my LG monitor instead of macbook air itself and it works great that way.

Great drives so far, they’re Seagate IronWolf NAS drives that run at 7200 rpm. Wish I had bought more right away!

Great so far. Haven’t nearly reached full capacity yet. Works well with my other Seagate drives.

I purchased an identical 8 terabyte Seagate 3 years ago for the purpose of backup and also transporting my Adobe Lightroom Classic Library of images between two computers at different locations. It has been flawless– truly plug and play. I expect the same outstanding performance for my recent purchase when we install it on our Mac.

Today I take my HDD and first is what I see – I package with low damage. But inside I find a good air bag)) and a good hdd inside. Thanks

Works seemlessly.

I own several Seagate Drives… most work very well. Some don’t. This one has a continuous clicking sound… the drive is struggling with something, keeps repeating. Since I have stored sensitive information on it, I can’t return it (factor reset doesn’t 100% guarantee the data is gone). I’m stuck buying another drive.

I’m using this Seagate 10TB External Hard Drive as a Plex server and boy can it hold a lot of media! Setup is easy and truly plug and play. This is the sweet spot for cost/terabyte (unless of course you go with a NAS RAID box) and for reliability with a failure rate lower then 4TB to 6TB external drives. Just get it at the sale price and you’re good to go!

I experienced data corruption when using cables other than the very short cable the drive ships with. Maybe I have bad cables but they seem to work fine with other drives.

I use for all of my photo, videos and documents equaling homework as well

Amazing storage per TB considering current pricing and the drive is achieving transfer speed of 242MB/s on a standard USB 3 port, (so I would assume on a 3.1 as well). ‘The noise issue’ some report, depends what you put the unit on. Putting the drive directly on wood appears to bring out a harmonic frequency ‘piezo’ speaker effect and on a metal base, it downright rings. Put the drive on a mouse pad buffer first and the thing is very quiet.

I haven’t had the Seagate 3tb External Hard drive long; I transfer photos once a month, so my initial transfer went smoothly with no problems. The only reason I’m giving a 4 star is because I haven’t used much yet.
Caden Tromp (verified owner) –
This hard drive does exactly what it’s supposed to. I have no problems or complaints.

Seagate provides lots of memory space for a great price and so far works great.

Been using this for a few months. Was a bargain ($200 before the pandemic surge). But, it has hung up a couple of times now requiring a power cycle to restart. Not a good sign.
