The first drive failed within a week. BH would NOT give me a refund/credit as I did not have the original box anymore. I got the replacement and now, 6 months later, it has failed AGAIN!! I’ve lost a significant amount of data. I have dozens and dozens of external drives and not one have ever failed. None. This drive failing TWICE now speaks volumes of Seagates quality.

Finally plenty of storage….

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.

Easy to crack open for shucking. The USB-SATA converters come in handy if you need a quick way to access a bare drive down the road.

I got this for periodic backups and archives. Works great. I do wish it had a USB A and or C connection type. Those may be slower, but most folk already have those cables on hand. I worry about the lack of cooling and dust removal options, but no issues so far.

So far so good still transferring files from many old drives

The drive constantly disconnects and usually fails to reconnect. The drive’s internal USB circuit keeps crashing, pulling down the USB bus on my PC and disconnecting not only the drive but my mouse and keyboard as well. I replaced this drive with a Toshiba and my problems went away. I’ll never buy another Seagate drive … it’s not worth risking my photos and other data.

Drive was simple to install and 10TB is a lot of storage. It is very quiet and will go into a reduced power state after a period of time so it’s not always running. Very nice and would recommend to anyone needing a lot of inexpensive storage.

Cost efficiency and wonderful quality.. Above all, I just made a transaction in Apr, 2021. As you know the shortage of semiconductor, my order is delivered in Oct, 2021. But I’m sure B&H keep their keep promises to customers. It’s wonderful!!! thanks.

I do video production work, currently completing a documentary on a haunted attraction (using footage from the past 20 years). Footage runs from VHS-C, DVcam, 1080p HD to 4K. I needed to store backup. Price was very good with B & H, plus quick delivery. So far, everything is as it should be. Reason I always buy from B & H.

No issues with this hard drive. Stores my data and has been a reliable company in the past.

This is my 4th Seagate hard drive and all have been great. I just keep getting Seagate and each time a bigger TB capacity. They have not let me down yet. Still have my oldest one running but needs to be retired . only 1TB and over 8 years old.

have 2 others also going for a while so far all is good quiet speed is acceptable, if you go for lunch or a looong coffee break……………………………………………………………. better than spending 10k$ on a 8Tb SSD keep em cool as they get very hot without cooling built a drive tower with fans with the air-conditioner 23c keeps em happy loading all day

A good choice after dealing with 5 Hard drives of 1TB and 500GB. Perfect for making backups of my whole video and audio stuff. No need to worry anymore about losing my smaller external hard drives with personal information.
Josefina Bergstrom (verified owner) –
I would have given this five stars except for the fact that B&H doesn’t explain that if you have a mac, you have to reformat the drive. It’s also rather noisy every time it goes into action, which makes it impossible when recording or videoing to use it. Very pricey item to discover this after spending 24 hours moving all my files from various other drives onto it.

Cheapest way to get a good 8TB drive. Just bust the case open and remove the drive. I use mine in an OWC Thunderbolt bare drive dual bay unit for back ups. I’d recommend it as well.

Easy setup and running like a champ.

Works perfect.

I’m storing photographs on mine. It has more space than I need at this time but it’s nice to know the space is there when I will need it eventually.
