I have three that I bought in the last year – one for an external drive and two for backups. Hopefully time will prove them sturdy for a good long time.
Bernie Funk (verified owner) –
I use the drive for storing photos. So far so good.
Petra Wuckert (verified owner) –
It’s great having lots of storage around, especially for backing up other, smaller drives.
Kade Johnston (verified owner) –
I had a need for backup storage of my most precious documents. This is the best external drive I’ve eve owned.

Ive attached the Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive to my Synology NAS. Works great.
Toney Lowe (verified owner) –
it works well, loud but according to tests seagate is most reliable brand, and i can attest to that, nowadays where there is only essentially 2 companies on the market its either western digital and all companies it has bought vs seagate. I have had seagate and thoshbia portable hard drives failed on me but never seagate. also was not a problem with opening it via app on mac with its native ntsf format.

I have been buying Seagate drives for years and they have always been reliable. This one has been easy to install and is quiet. Would recommend.

Ive had this expansion drive for about a month now, and very happy with it. It works as intended which is all you could want from a hard drive. It is decently quiet, I can hardly hear hear it over the soft hum of my desktop. Speeds around 100 mb/s. Nothing negative to say. So far so good.
Elias Aufderhar (verified owner) –
so far so good. Im using it for time machine.
Emilie Effertz (verified owner) –
Using it as a backup location for all my data. It does give out a bit more noise compared to my older 5TB external hard drive, but have not observed any issue with performance yet.

For a 50-yr old, tech-challenged chick, this external hard drive was very easy to set up. I plugged it in to my 64-bit op system and started moving large quantities of files to the new expansion hard drive. I use Win7 professional and have the older usb 2.0. Moving from computer to external did take some time (huge files). However, moving/organizing the files within the seagate itself flew.

I have bought this disk for back up. It is fastest than I supposed. It has plenty of room for backing up videos and photos.
Unique Jast (verified owner) –
This is my second seagare backup hard drive and so far so good, great price for 8tb!
Evelyn Powlowski (verified owner) –
Only thing I miss is not having another USB connection so I can daisy chain additional drives.
Stewart Mills (verified owner) –
Been using this for a few months. Was a bargain ($200 before the pandemic surge). But, it has hung up a couple of times now requiring a power cycle to restart. Not a good sign.
Tania Halvorson (verified owner) –
Received an excellent product at a low price.
Uriel Klocko (verified owner) –
It has a little sound when it starts up ( like a Godzilla little roar) which I have no problem with it at all. I’ve used this brand for quite sometime and never lost work.. def recommend

My last hard drive lasted a week so I am positive. Its not 10TB, just 9.I don’t know why the manufacturer labels it a 10TB. Started up on Windows with no too much effort.
Tianna Lindgren (verified owner) –
happily it took my data, great backup drive for the price. Planning on storing it so ask again in a year or two. Hopefully I’ll never know othrwise.
