I experienced data corruption when using cables other than the very short cable the drive ships with. Maybe I have bad cables but they seem to work fine with other drives.

I use this drive mainly as storage for backups. I also use it for general storage (photos, videos, etc). It is fast and easy to use. I’ve had it about one month and it has been flawless during that time. Time will tell as to its reliability. However, as of now, I can highly recommend this drive.

I purchased this super-large USB drive as a dedicated backup to my 8GB Synology NAS which as a USB Backup application. The extra capacity provides future space for versioning and archive of deleted files.

Worked right out of the box. Currently using as backup for multiple machines. Plugs into a powered USB hub with no problems. Will see how long it lasts, but so far so good.

Works wonderfully. Does everything it’s supposed to-and it has a usb-a plug and power plug, with literally a dozen different wall outlet attachments for universal adapters!

When I registered this product at Seagate site I was informed that the product warranty had expired in 2017.

I was very surprised that I connected up the 8TB hard drive external for additional storage and it came right up with the computer recognizing the full 8TB. The last time I brought on additional storage it was nightmare trying to get the computer to see the full 3TB it only showed 1TB. As soon as it was up I started downloading big movie files I have and the new hard drive took it all. Took 15 hours to download with no problems I was impressed.

We have only owned it for a few weeks but so far it works as expected. Looks good on our desk. Fan is quiet.

So frustrated, I’m copying over about 12 TB from another drive to use this as a backup and 2 of these in a row have failed. Both make awful grinding noises as well. I have a 6TB of the same drive and it is fine. It takes like 2 days to copy over my files, so to do that and then find that the drive is making noise and the light is blinking when not in use (indicating an issue) is incredibly frustrating.

That was easy. I don’t like difficult websites when it comes to ordering something. Thank you for that and the quick shipping.

I have used Seagate External Hard Drives for many years . They’ve been reliable. Just in case, I always back up my photos on 2 External Dives !

I have 6 of these – I buy them every so often strictly to archive all of my work – there simply for storage purposes, not used as primary drives. Bottom line – for my needs, they perform.

Lots of storage at a good price

Would be a great product if it worked on all my computers. It only works on one of my 3 computers at home, (It’s not a USB 3 issue, they all have USB 3)

Es la mejor opcin para almacenar proyectos finalizados. No lo recomiendo para editar y/o trabajar cotidianamente (Photoshop/Premiere/After), porque no tiene una gran velocidad de escritura/lectura, pero para backup, es la mejor opcin.

I use it to store large volumes of data. I am not necessarily editing high volumes of video, so I am not sure how it would work for such users. Downloading video and playback are fine.
