This may be the last HD I buy that runs at 5400rpm. Fine for backup, but not much fun at dynamic/constant interaction.
Erika Volkman (verified owner) –
If you are looking for an inexpensive, reliable and say to use backup solution, here it is. Great for the price, capacity and convenience. Yes, a bit noisy and slow, but this is not an issue for occasional backups.

I have used several of this model external hard drive. They have all lasted over 5 years. Transfer rates are at most 100 MB/s. usually about 50% less given it uses USB 3.0 and a slow hard drive (~5400 rpm). Great for back up.

I like the compact size for portability.
Alize Hackett (verified owner) –
I purchased it for someone else. I believe it’s been good for her. I have ordered Seagate external hard drive before and they were good
Ana Koepp (verified owner) –
The size is compact enough for my desk and it’s an easy plug and play device. The thing I didn’t think about is, it needs electrical power to work. I didn’t pay attention to that and I was thinking it was like my smaller external drive and all I had to do was plug the ubs in. But overall, I’m happy with it.

I used the Mac Disk Utility to reformat and it’s working like a charm. Great value for the money.

The most important thing about hard drives is their reliability. I’ve had this drive for only about a week so I can’t give an accurate assessment regarding that. But so far so good. It looks attractive, it runs quiet, and it transfers data fast.
Faye Cole (verified owner) –
As a professional photographer, I need high quality storage space that I can count on. I have used the Seagate Hard Drives exclusively for many years with no problems. The 6TB size is perfect for main storage and back up. I have 8 hard drives total, 4 for main and 4 for backup.

Works right out of the box, no messing, a big bargain for the (sale) price.
Duane White (verified owner) –
I use these to create periodic back-ups of my larger storage system. inexpensive and effective insurance!!
Ebba Schinner (verified owner) –
No Problems with it, works, 3.o data transfer speeds, sort of wish I had gotten the bus powered one for easier portablity but, thats ok this can be my stay at home drive.
Pinkie Roberts (verified owner) –
I have been buying records of this brand for years, hopefully they have never been damaged, they are safe, they look good on the desktop, the best thing is that they are very reliable, I will continue to buy more of this brand
Mark Predovic (verified owner) –
I am endlessly surprised at how low this harddrive is. I can hear it clunking from the other room. It sounds like someone tapping their knuckles on a desk. Of all the other Seagate products I’ve owned, this one is by far the loudest.
Katharina Luettgen (verified owner) –
Im not sure why, but Seagates external 8TB drives are much less expensive than their 8TB Barracuda internal drives. It makes a great, reliable external drive. In a pinch (see youtube) it also makes a great internal drive. I have 7 of them and not one failure yet, knock on wood.

I have purchased 8 of these Seagate Expansion Drives from 4TB thru 14TB for myself and my customers for external back up for customers. I tore a 12TB and 10TB apart and mounted the drives in a Server. (less expensive than buying simple internal drive). I’m a computer tech for 24 years full time.

Ive attached the Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive to my Synology NAS. Works great.
Harvey Braun (verified owner) –
I was very surprised that I connected up the 8TB hard drive external for additional storage and it came right up with the computer recognizing the full 8TB. The last time I brought on additional storage it was nightmare trying to get the computer to see the full 3TB it only showed 1TB. As soon as it was up I started downloading big movie files I have and the new hard drive took it all. Took 15 hours to download with no problems I was impressed.

Seagate makes an affordable and solid backup disk. I have many of them now. They don’t take up much room on my desk, I like that they stand upright and they make very little noise. Shooting 100MP cameras these days seems to create lots of data and this drive deals with it very well.
Angelina Bosco (verified owner) –
Not super fast but great for archiving. I have 4 of them now. I bought the first ones about 1 year ago and still working great.
