Use it for storing audiobooks and movies hope it will not fill up too fast just transferred 3 full 16gb usb to it.
The transfer is slow though. So while doing it you can probably watch an episode of a series or something while it does its thing.
Prompt delivery. Appears to be a SSD storage device as no audible moving hard disk noise – or is extremely quiet unlike an older competitor 1TB external disk. Bought as part of daughter’s Christmas present to back up her gaming PC and a laptop so daughter very happy.
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.
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.
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.
So I stumped up with a much more considerable amount to purchase this External drive and it does what it should. It hasn’t let me down and is easy to use. Would recommend
No issues at all, it’s a little bulky but to be expected with the size of capacity. I run all my games through it and have 0 problems. Overall good product but I think it could be abit cheaper.
Got this for X box X as I have done with my other console,s , so easy to format to the console , and good price for the size of hard drive . Will always stick to seagate very happy customer, also very quick del and very easy pick up from Coll poi
Simple to create luks encrypted backup partition for linux (Fedora). Backup speed over usb3 seems as good as I’d expect for an mechanical hdd. Solid unit with good no slip feet, ideal for desktop which is my use case, but too bulky and heavy to carry around regularly in a laptop bag.
Bought as storage backup replacement for my home server. Easy to install and works as expected
Seagate have always been known for quality. This continues that trend.
These are really good back-up drives – good capacity and reasonably quick data transfer at a good price – never had a reliability issue with them yet (hope I am not tempting fate….)
ot sure if the product is defective but it squeaks when it’s in used?!?
So far had no issues. Had them for several years. Good quality. Works perfectly for my needs.
The items I ordered was as described and delivered in the time span listed.
I bought this as I was fed up with lousy backup options, tried another make – got one DOA.
The software seems open but is designed for this brand – download in advance see if it works for you BEFORE buying the drive.
My computer has a 500GB drive so I went for the 6TB as a decent ratio – so far fine.
Basically – USB plugged into a USB hub, Power adapter into UPS – runs fine.
Nice thing it goes into standby when the computer does.
Not a lot else to say other than the brand is one of the oldest and most reliable.
Great storage, have used this as a back-up for large storage files for quite some time and find it great with plenty storage space still to spare.
Very very fast as blowing by party balloons
Great item at a great price- saved me a lot of time !
Transfer speeds seem OK, nice and compact so no issues
Read and write times easily matched (or probably surpassed) what I was moving on or off it via a network. I had it connected via USB3. The whole process was very simple and this device toiled away flawlessly.
It arrived with some sort of software on it, but I didn’t even look at that and wiped it during the re-formatting.
The next NAS I have to re-build, I will definitely be using this device again. Thanks Seagate for producing a simple, straightforward, reliable and trustworthy product.
Bought one of these as storage to my Nvidia streaming device. Works perfectly, so I bought another to act as a backup to all my movies’/TV shows. Good transfer speeds and (so far) reliable. Recommended
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.
well 1st “portability” as a question found on the review!! its hmmm, you must have a power supply ie its not powered via USB so its not a 100% portable “without”
you do get a host of adaptors within the package so where-ever you maybe you shouldn’t be stuck without the correct plug choice…
you also get the necessary USB cable to connect to your device, again its fool proof “hmm, lets not kid ourselves you’ll see some muppets complaining due to having the cable reverse & doesn’t fit correctly etc.. YES the USB cable only fits one way around, a lil message to the muppets out there”
storage volume, well its not a true 4TB as a small amount of space has been taken due to the running software etc.. to this day I’m surprised there’s not a small memory chip within the circuit board to store such data leaving the full volume to the user.
anyway, the device.. its very very quiet when running, you do get a single ‘white’ LED proving power-on status etc & some small 2pre-fitted rubber feet. again it seems this unit is designed to be stood on its side rather then flat on the larger surface etc “I’m not sure if this would effect its running “I’m not really going to want to find that out”
file transfer, well upto now.. drone images & 4k, 1080p video transfers pretty damned quickly so I cant really see why anyone would need to moan.. regarding using this as a gaming HD device.. honestly I’d compare specs to similar devices OR contacting the manufacturer for definitive information.. relying upon amazon questions/answers “your asking for trouble”
yes the HD does come nicely packaged with info within & yes it arrived a week early (delivered 2days)
as all my reviews I’ll update further after more use
