Very satisfied, seems sturdy. Works great after a couple of weeks, of course we’ll have to wait and see after a year or two.

I like that the Seatgate 4TB has an ac power source…it makes me feel it is more reliable as a back up. And the price for a 4T is terrific.

I currently own 5x 8TB Expansion drive already. This is a review for my purchase order of 10x 8TB Seagate Expansion drives. Not only am I satisfied with my product, purchase experience, and service but I’m glad B&H provides extreemly low pricing no one can beat! I’m a Customer for life! Thank you B&H team! This product arrived extremely quickly, in a well protected packaging. Overall Seagate is a great product, data read and write speed is fast, quality material such as the hard drive housing is dourable, needs a little more air circulation.

Looks turned on (light is illuminated), I hear a noise like it’s trying to boot, but it no longer shows up on any computer I plug it into.

I’ve looked far and wide for large storage options for video footage and this is great. I store all my old projects on these and have never had an issue. One thing to know is that you do not want to lose the power cable to this guy. It will only work with the seagate power supply.

I bought this to back up a master project drive and used the professional software, Hedge, to initiate the process. About 30% into the backup process it failed, and corrupted the drive… Immediately returned it and move to WD.

This hard drive does exactly what it’s supposed to. I have no problems or complaints.

I wish SSDs were cheap enough to make old fashioned HHDs disappear. This drive was cheap and slow, but will work as the backup location it was immediately demoted to. It’s fine for what it is.

Awesome hard drive.

I ordered a couple of these but because they were on backorder, I waited quite a bit. Luckily I was in no rush and got them at an amazing price. Onto the performance. These things are quiet! Checking CrystalDiskInfo, these are using Ironwolfs. Transfers are fast and it works as it should. We shall see how they perform in the long run.

Bought a couple of these on backorder as they were on sale from B&H and I wanted to lock in the price. The drives themselves have been working great for a couple weeks now. I shucked them so I could use the HDD’s inside my Unraid server. Inside the externals are Seagate Ironwolf Pro NAS drives. AFAIK, these are only below the Seagate Exos Enterprise HDD’s in Seagate’s model hierarchy. Only real complaint is that I backordered these in April 2021 and it took literally 6mo to receive them from B&H (just received October 2021) as they were waiting on them from Seagate. So these are great if in stock at a good price, but if on backorder I’d look elsewhere.

Even though this hard drive is a little noisy, I have not had any issues. It is fast and responsive and needs minimal effort to setup. I would recommend it to anyone that needs to upgrade their storage for an affordable price.

I formatted my drive as HFS+ for Macs, and I have already put 11 TB of data on the drive. It is fast, quiet, and for the money, hard to beat! Highly Recommended.
Adolphus Altenwerth (verified owner) –
Bought two, back up to both so if one eventually fails I still have data. Not the fastest drive but for backup its price performance is excellent.

Hope it don’t crash, just saying !
Aletha Padberg (verified owner) –
Terrible hard drive. So noisy constant clunking and banging noise the could be heard two rooms away. Very slow reads and writes maybe do to the defect causing the noise. I’m exchanging it for a second one but the second it gets noisy it’s getting returned and I’m through with Seagate products.

This is exactly as stated its an 8 TB External USB 3.0 drive. It is very functional and fast. Plenty of storage for almost every user. bhphotovideo.com is where I purchased mine it was excellent for the price. This is not a paid review. ( I wish I was paid to review items like this 😉 ). If you need extra space this is the drive you need. If you fall into the 1% of users that need mountains of storage space this is a great addition for the cost. Adding this drive into my collection I now have 12 TB of storage space. The 8 TB are great for storing all of your HD videos or pictures or anything else you want to keep, also works as a computer backup option. Ive only had it a few weeks so I dont know how it holds up over time yet, but if its like my 5 TB Seagate Expantion its been running solid for almost 2 years with daily constant use.

I reformatted quickly to a Mac compliant drive and filled it up and now sits on a shelf hopefully to never be called upon for the real test.

It is great to have a large external back-up for my images. The unit is a little noisy at times. It does serve it purpose and that’s what is important.
