It’s a disk, it stores things, and it just works.

I have 2 other drives like this (5TB though). I have had no issues and install in minutes with no drivers or complication.

Great unit. Easy set up. I needed redundancy for my photo storage.

I have a 3 year old Dell 2tb computer which is full, mainly because of photos, large photos from a Nikon D800. I have tried backing up my files on small portable hard drives oh, but it gets confusing on where everything is. Im so glad I got this hard drive as I have transferred over a hundred thousand photos to a folder, just by dragging and dropping, and I still have so much room. So glad I went with the a terabyte external hard drive as I can keep everything more organized. I highly recommend the Seagate 8tb expansion desktop external hard drive.

I was really exited to finally use the hard drive after months of waiting and planing to order it and when I finally decide to order , I get a busted version I tried it on 3 deferent computers and it doesn’t show up on any of them It keep showing a blue light but in all the computers you can’t find it I tried to look at disk management and cmd and data manager but couldn’t find anything , I tried to install Paragon as it was recommended to do that and it didn’t show up either. And all the 3 computers are new and updated I guess I will try to refund and see the other options .

I use these Seagate external drives for back-ups of my data (mostly images), and I like their simplicity of use and minimal aesthetic. I can’t comment on their technical aspects or compare them to similar models by other makers, but so far I have never had one fail on me. That said, I use them very sparingly. I plug them in only when I am adding or accessing data, and otherwise leave them unplugged and detached from my computer between uses.

I guess that is all I can tell so far. Why ask for a review just after purchase? I need time, at least a year or three to see how reliable it is.

my use: RAID-1 mirror to a pair of Seagate 4TB desktop drives (ST4000DM). Used to store and stream HD video. Withstands very heavy use. In a 48 hour acceptance test: offload the pair of 4TB drives to a Seagate ST8000AS002 drive ( which normally is mounted in a JBOD – AKA: a Microsoft storage pool). This drive, rumored to be inside the STEB8000100, has been in 7×24 use since Nov.2015 error free. The RAID-1 was built, re-synched, and the 8TB of data copied back to the RAID-1. Not a single error, not even a recoverable error, in the 48 hours of non-stop data transfer @ 75MB/sec (sustained). The STEB8000100 is intact for reasons of warranty. The cheap plastic case is a bit noisier than the Orico drive towers where the internal drive will be eventually mounted. Noise levels are important to me as the PC & 3 drive towers are in my office about 12′ from my ears.

Huge amount of space. I hope it works well for years.

I had been looking for at least 16 TB to house all my videos and I finally found the right one. Great price and easy to set up.
Terence Robel (verified owner) –
Works right out of the box, no messing, a big bargain for the (sale) price.

Stores Videos and pics And the speed is fast. I am going to buy another one.
Rosendo Renner (verified owner) –
I think a review may be a bit premature, but so far the drive is working as expected. I transferred several hundred gig of pictures and it was as easy as click and drop. I am very pleased and would recommend this drive to.anyone. Also I don’t find it excessively noisy at all.

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.
