Hooked it up with my Mac and it works great.

I connected the supplied USB 3 cable and plugged in the power transformer. Windows 10 did the rest, no divers or software. It worked perfectly the first time. My only comment is a little noise when it “wakes up” after my computer sleeps. You’ll notice that when you’re in a quiet area. After that, it’s fine.

I use these to create periodic back-ups of my larger storage system. inexpensive and effective insurance!!

The Seagate 8TB Expansion Drive is shipped with software to enable operating systems that can’t handle 8TB written onto the drive. But it works fine in Windows 7 and Windows 10 without the software installed, as soon as it’s plugged in.

I use these to backup my Mac and they work beautifully. Quiet, small form, and so far theyve been very reliable. Thanks B&H for a great price, fast shipping and a positive experience!

Yeah you might not be able to edit 8k video off these drives but in terms of storage this is more than enough for logging raw video files. I got these because it was on sale and surprisingly cheaper than Costco. So I got three.

Drive sees USB 3.0 ports as USB 2.0 on my machine and shows a warning every time it starts up. Seagate advised updating drivers. No improvement after doing so. Seagate then said a bad cable shipped with this unit — but ignored my request for them to replace it. The plug that goes into the drive is not like any USB connector that I have ever seen. No idea where I would find another one. On a Windows 7(64-bit) pc, with a quad core CPU and 6GB of RAM, it took five and a half hours to back up 174GB of data from my internal HDD to the Seagate Expansion drive. By comparison, on a Windows XP (32-bit) computer with a 2-core CPU and 2GB of RAM, it took approximately an hour and a half to transfer 232 GB from one USB 2.0 drive to another. Seagate’s response:4TB Expansion drive is not marketed as a fast drive, however our Backup Plus portable 4TB Fast drive is. Their advice: by another computer with USB 3.0 drives and hope it works. Really?

I have always had good experiences with Seagate products. The Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive has been no different. It is a good product for a reasonable price.

I am only buying Seagate now, after serious issues with WD. I dropped one star simply because larger drives today are not as dependable as smaller drives I still use after many years. I have some reporting perfect condition, which is really remarkable. In contrast, I am loosing larger drives much faster. I only use the larger disks for storage. The smaller disks, I am using in new builds, when they are retired from storage.

seems to be working well, although it’s hard to know since I cannot pull up a view of what is on the drive on my MacBookAiir. Also, the reportedly easy installation took me several days and the arrival of a friend to help find the right connections among the cables provided. Hopefully, other purchasers will not encounter such difficulties.

Easy to use! Just plug into your laptop or desktop and go! Decent transfer speed. So far I’ve transferred close to 1 TB of photo files for safe keeping! It’s helped speed up my laptop too!!

I had high hopes for this product. An affordable 8 TB HD is a dream. That is, until it fell onto its side one gloomy afternoon. Post the event, the HD is beeping and is making an audible clicking sound… After some research, I found that the needle is most likely stuck somewhere outside of the platter. My computer will no longer read it and therefore, I cannot access my files. I have an appointment set up with a shop that fixes these kinds of issues and hopefully recover the files… We will see. I know there are similar products that are beefier and can handle tip overs etc. but I was shocked at how much damage a simple tip over caused. Might as well spend the extra $100 for an HD that can take slight* abuse!
