Likes, quiet, high capacity with more than enough space to back up most internal HDD. This is the second of the same drive and capacity from Seagate and would recommend it to anyone looking for an external drive. I have used it on both an iMac 27″ and MacBook Air and easily used on both
I am using this extra storage but as yet have to find someone that can show me how to reload somehting I need back on my computer. Great size and will be easily transported. have not used Tech Support yet so cannot comment.
This is the second Seagate Portable Drive that I’ve bought. The first I bought some years ago never had any problems and still performing well. So buying a second was a no brainer!!
I think the price was fair. Ive already shpved abput 3.3tb onto it so its defo a 4tb. And seems brand new.
Cant comment on life span of this one from this seller. But the other 4tb seagate ive had since about 2015-2016 still functions amd i still use it. So shouldnt be any issues
Being mains powered it is much faster than the truly portable hard drives but that’s a trade off against speed and portability.
I bought this disk to amalgamate several old WD drives. Although it does what it says on the tin, I wasn’t expecting it to be noticeably noisier compared with the old ones.
I bought this to replace my 1TB external hard drive because I needed one with decent storage. This is perfect for what I want, transferring large graphics files from one PC to another, my 2nd PC not having internet (by my choice!). Very happy.
Used this to record youtube videos and store them on a safe hardrive and does the job and can also store games bigger then 100GB safely haven’t had any problems good value for money.
It’s a light, easy portable drive that does what it’s designed to do.
My only problem was that it’s a little difficult to set up on a MacBook – there aren’t any real instructions given with the device on how to do so, which meant I had to go onto YouTube where there were fortunately some good videos on how to set it up with a MacBook. This may be a problem for people that aren’t too tech savvy though.
ice colour built pretty well gets a bit warm though in use and I wish they would include rubber feet!!
I have many of these units I have to buy packs of bubble stickers to place 4 on the bottom of the drives to stop vibrations and sliding around!!!!!
Easy to install – I am very pleased with my purchase, it was good value for money. Provides plenty of storage to back up even though it’s small – so good as portable too. I am not very good with technical items but this was easy for me to use. It exceeded my expectations and I would recommend.
This external hard drive is great value for money I used it to backup all my files Files transferred easily and quickly No problems with it Would recommend it to anyone who needs a portable backup
This is the 6th seagate HD I have purchased, never let me down and great value for money. I use these for keeping my music collections safe as I’m a DJ, great piece of kit, very quick transfer, this 12TB version is for a full back up of some of my other ones. would recommend
My last one was past its sell by date, this one fits the bill. It is 2GB (twice the old one) portable light in weight and fits with my new USB lead. I use it to store my backups of useful items that I might need to get at easily. Very pleased with the Tech support that comes with it.
So easy, plugged into power, plugged into ish 3.2 and instantly had almost 12tb of space.
A roomy vault to handle anything.
The usb b and c ports in the front are brilliant for charging and provide extra ports so you don’t lose any when plugging it into your pc.
It isn’t small, as wide as my tower but it sits on top of said tower and I have a stand for my headset atop that.
All in all, very happy with this Seagate drive.
Used with Windows 11 pro.
I’m currenty capturing old DV tapes onto hard drive prior to editing and thence to flash drive. This drive seems to fulfil all my needs and provides plent of storage at modest case. Small size makes it very portable. Seems robust as it survived a drop from my letter box to a hard floor.

My fault not the products I brought this drive before realising it has fairly low transfer speeds – capacity is good though for the price and it’s got quite a small fan rm factor for the capacity
The first thing that caught my eye was the sleek and modern dark grey design of the drive. It blends seamlessly with my PC and Mac, making it a versatile choice for cross-platform users. Setting it up was a breeze; it was practically plug-and-play, requiring minimal effort on my part.
The real standout feature here is the 2-year Rescue Services. This added peace of mind is invaluable. In the digital age, we store so much important data on our devices, and the fear of losing it is always there. With Seagate’s Rescue Services, I know that if anything goes wrong, my data is in safe hands. It’s a comforting thought that not all external drives offer.
Performance-wise, this Seagate drive has been flawless. It’s fast and responsive, allowing for quick data transfers. Whether I’m backing up important files, storing my multimedia collection, or simply expanding my device’s storage, it handles it all without a hiccup.
Portability is another strong point. It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, easily fitting into my bag or pocket. This makes it perfect for on-the-go professionals like me who need access to their data wherever they are.
The 1TB capacity provides ample space for my needs, and should I ever need more, I can easily purchase additional Seagate drives or upgrade to a larger model.
Overall, the Seagate Portable Drive is a reliable, sleek, and efficient storage solution with the added benefit of Rescue Services. If you’re looking for a portable hard drive that offers both performance and peace of mind, this is an excellent choice.
The size of this drive also means I can use it for storage of photos and video, along with a document repository for all my scanned personal documents. The One Touch Hub comes in a variety of drive sizes.
It is password protected (although you can set it to recognise the main laptop / PC / Mac you are using it with (connected to via the USB lead) so that you don’t have to enter the password every time you switch it on). Obviously if you disconnect the drive or use it with another laptop / PC / Mac it will need the user set password to operate it – so it’s secure, protecting your data if stolen.
I’ve only had the drive a few weeks so can’t comment on longevity and not had to contact Tech Support , so I can’t rate that either. However I have used Seagate drives in the past and found them to be ultra reliable.
In a nutshell, if you want an easy to use back up solution for your Windows or Mac computer this is well worth considering. Set up and leave and it does the rest.
Seagate drives, as all drives, can fail. But, if drive failure causes a significant problem, your strategy need’s reviewing. These drives are low cost and there’s no excuse to be too frugal.
I use SDDs (Samsung T5/T7 at the moment) for working – Seagate HDDs for backup and archiving.
as i have seagate , i chose this one and love the ease
Does what it’s designed to do. The transfer speed is also quite impressive over usb 3
Not had it long, appears to be working fine and decent transfer rate
Good product from Seagate. Built quality is great, and data transfer is fast. Highly recommend i
Downloads very fast, nice and neat. Really easy too use plug and go
Fits everything I wanted to put on it from steam etc for my laptop. So highly recommend.
exleant and came on time and what expected the product be that is how it was
Easy to install and setup, small footprint good capacity size.
I bought this HDD as the one I was using seemed to have stopped functioning properly. It was easy to set up and I managed to transfer everything from my old HDD to this one. I then formatted the old one and it’s working properly again so I now have two.
Great cheap drives. Rarely had any trouble with Seagate drives. And I use them A LOT. Would recommend it over other known brand which let me down too many time to buy it again. Use these for full project backups, but also tested on high speed data environments -all’s good.
i am told not to rely on it beyond 5 years – then data will be lost.
I needed a portable hard drive to backup and swap documents and photos from my old laptop to my new laptop. The Seagate 2TB is perfect: simple to use, small and portable but (hopefully) too big to lose/forget. Worked as soon as it was plugged in and capable of storing hundreds of Raw images and large MS Office files.
I’ve had some corrupted or lost backups from bus-powered drives, but this is mains powered, so plug in and forget.
The occasional whirr and rattle as the disc spins up is the only time I notice it.
The drive works perfectly for my needs and 5TB is a nice, large capacity for holding lots of backups.
It’s neat and tidy with a sleak black finish and sits behind the TV not being noticed. If I had to nitpick, and that’s all it is, the cable could have been a bit longer, but they’re easy to find and it’s just about long enough.
I’ve personally (touch wood) never had a problem with seagate, and have used them for years if not decades. Whilst not the most premium of brands, they’re cheap, they work and they last.
Do be warned, as with purchasing ANY hard drive, it is always lower compacity than it claims, this is completely normal, and the larger the size drive, the more space “lost” For example, a 2TB drive should work out at around 1.81TB or there abouts. Again, it’s normal and will be the same regardless of make.
