I am very happy with this product being used as a backup for my master files. Ordering, price and delivery where great considering our covid world and all the shipping problems. It arrived as quick as an in country package. Well done as always guys and girls.

Bought this drive because it was 4tb. Very affordable redundant storage. I can even use it for working projects amd leaves mu Internal drive for speed and computations.

This is my third Seagate 8Tb External in three years and I have, to date, not had any issues with these drives. This is not a 7200 rpm drive but it does allow you to hoard your backup copies of all those photos and videos that you are creating. Worth the purchase.

These are great value – 8Tb for less than what I’ve been paying for 5Tb. Delivery was quick and I was kept notified at each stage. I’ll be buying from here again.

I only use mechanical hard drives for Time Machine backup for my Macs. Every brand doesn’t seem to work well for this purpose so I buy WD or Seagate for this. I use 2 drives along with a cloud backup.

This may be the last HD I buy that runs at 5400rpm. Fine for backup, but not much fun at dynamic/constant interaction.

This Seagate 18TB drive performs consistently well so I’m going to address a few of the criticisms stated here: 1. Noise is no worse than any other hard drive you may have 2. Speed It is designed for huge chunks of data and speed is not/should not be the primary consideration. If you want speed then get an Nvme SSD. It is not going to be as fast as your internal drive or an SSD but it is acceptable for what it can do. I use it with a Mac myself, but did not reformat it and left it in EX-FAT format. Yet even so the speed is not bad, and it makes it more universally usable for transfers, etc. It is primarily a backup for me; I wouldn’t use any external drive as a primary source for data. Thus I am using Nvme SSDs for speed and then backing up on this drive. It is perfect for that purpose.

I have recently bought and used this 8TB HD for my main work back up drive. Not quite as quick as an onboard unit for large data transfer but he way I do back ups in units it is working fine and size for cost has worked out well

Excellent Hard Drive for the price.

Just bought it, as it was on sale recently. So far, it does what it’s supposed to do, and stays pretty quiet. I can hear a slight whoosh once in a while, enough to know it’s there, but the sound isn’t loud or noisy, more like a very quiet, small fan. Reliability is TBD, that will take 6-12 months. Hooking it up and installing was a breeze, no issues there. I just leave it on, it’s also on my desktop all the time, so when I need it, I just transfer files there. So far, it’s only been RAW, TIFF and some JPG files, so lots more room left!

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.

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.

Third Seagate drive for back up. The more time goes on the more TBs I need. Works decent.
Reanna Hansen (verified owner) –
After seeing that Seagate discontinued my favorite hard drive it was a treat to see this new version.
Luna Auer (verified owner) –
Drive works aok but a power switch would improve safety. Plugging in directly to power causes a spark and a power surge which could damage the drive.

Item is listed as functional on both pc and MacBook, however it does not work on Mac. I have exchanged this item twice now and have decided to return the item to purchase a different hard drive because this simply does not work on my MacBook Pro 12.1. Terrible use of my time.

Bought it on April 17 , today is June 25.. and the disk died. I use it to backup my computer mainly photos. I desperately disappointed.
