Before buying it, I saw many reviews saying it is very loud. But since I do not use it as a cloud storage, so I don’t really care if it is a bit loud. Speed is good enough I believe.The speed between USB 3.0 storage transferring large files usually starts at 150m/s, then goes down and stabilizeat 100m/s. And for windows system, you can just plug it in and start using it. The real storage size is 7.27 TB. Just in case. And for the noise part. I had another seagate4TB Storage which “clicks” sometimes when it is been accessed. But for this one, it is like there is a little drum inside. And yes, it is pretty loud compareto most portable storage. If you only need to use it occasionally, it is a bang for the buck.

I’m using this as a big local backup drive for a 5TB and a 2TB working drive. It serves well for this purpose. Like others have said, transfers tend to start off fast and then settle into slower speeds. This makes it fine for backup, but probably not recommended as a working drive for photo/video editing. Drive noise is negligible. Will the drive eventually fail? Who knows, but most drives eventually fail – that’s why I got this one as a backup after all! At least this one’s relatively cheap so replacement won’t break the bank.

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.

This is one of the highest capacity external drives you can buy for a cheap price. Great value for money.

No mention of speed in the specs, should have looked into it more, maxing out at 20-30 MB/s, otherwise its okay. But that’s REALLY slow for a USB 3.0 drive 🙁 They should have mentioned this in the specs. I’ll likely keep it but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Love this drive. Small footprint for the capacity and it runs really quiet! Forgot I installed it. It is sitting behind my screen backing up without a hiccup. I highly recommend this.

I put this drive on my Xbox One and it formatted for games right away with absolutely no issues. I then copied my games from my 3TB external Seagate drive and again it was without issue. I am now using the drive for my Xbox One external storage and it is working flawlessly. I have never had any issues with my Seagate drives. The only drive that I ever had an issue with was a WD drive. I know others have different experiences but if I were going to buy another drive I would purchase Seagate.

Price was good for 14TB of data.

I bought this for my iMac. I needed a big drive to store video files. I do not work directly off of the drive, so I can’t comment on how fast it would be for something like that. As a backup and to transfer files though it works quick enough. I did have to reformat the drive the first time I hooked it up, it isn’t formatted for Mac straight out of the box.

Well my WD Book External drive glitched on my the other day. It was one of my back up external drives. I let my fingers do the shopping and B&H had what I was looking for. Right price, 8TB is good for me. Just got this today. Hooked it up, formatted for my mac and it is sitting pretty on my home desk. It is not noisy, and like my other external drives, I will only power it up when using it. It is not a big deal for me to eject the unit and pull the power plug. For those who had a rough time reformatting this for a mac, go to you tube and find Javier Mercedes, How to format an External Hard Drive for Mac. He explains in detail what to do. Very easy-just go to Utility disk–follow his lead. thanks B&H for the swift delivery!

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.

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

This drive is being used as a backup drive for a Mac Pro and has USB 3.0/2.0 connection only. The performance seems to be in line with a 5400 rmp drive, and very quite. Warranty only being one year is of a concern, so I wouldn’t really on this as a single backup solution, but rather as a fall-back drive.

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