Arrived as promised- much smaller that my other 2T Seagate Portables but that’s because of the Solid State Drive. Partioned to make a 1tb Time Machine Backup drive and 1 tb data drive to hold my Lightroom files and working FCP Library. The speed is impressive.
It works great. Compact and fast. However it did not connect with my one plus nord android phone. It did not even get detected. Followed the complete procedure.
Be aware, may not be compatible with all phones. If I find a solution, I will update it here.
Funciona bien. Calidad Ssgate Se lo he comprado a mi hija, para sus copias de seguridad. De momento muy contento.
Was skeptical when I reviewed tech specs and operation. Opened up package and was operating withing 15 minutes. Product worked as described. Great small size. Quiet and ease of operation. Great value for your docs and especially pics.
It does perfectly what it says I transferred 50gb data and it only took 2 minutes
This solves the heating problems as faced in products from other manufacturers. Smooth performance across operating systems. Must buy.
Loved it. I bought this as the storage for my Timemachine backups.
It supports the Mac out of the box and is capable of writing backups extremely fast.
Buy one, fast as you like, small, lightweight, I’ve put all the family photos on there and binned the cloud.
SSD is amazing and performs well too, it does the job as described in its description no false promises by the company.
I was really very confused while making a purchase for the external SSD, gone through and compared all the competitors in the segment and zeroed it down to seagate nevertheless to say this was a great decision.
Size of the SSD is really really impressive it is smaller than the wallet we carry and thinner than that too, precisely it would be somewhere half of my palm. Very impressive.
Go for it.
I use this for expandable storage on my Xbox series X games. You can only play last gen games off of it, you can store new games on it but have to transfer them over to the internal xbox storage to play the newer games. Really fast transfer speeds.
I picked this up for 65$, it’s easily worth over 100$ in 2023. I ordered a second one , it’s that good.
Great product. I was surprised at the size of the drive works really well.
Leider war die erste Lieferung ein Missgriff. Wie bei den berhmten “Montagsautos”. Fr eine SSD waren die bertragungsgeschwindigkeiten grottenlangsam. Der Hndler ersetzte das Produkt umgehend und die zweite FP. ist deutlich schneller – wie von Seagate gewohnt. Auf der Homepage von Seagate kann man lesen, dass solche Mngel vom Kabel herrhren knnen. Das konnte ich leider nicht berprfen.
Ein Austausch war schneller.
This is a very compact easy to carry back up hard drive. It isn’t very easy to set up for a new Mac, or at least not for me who isn’t a very competent techie. I had to get on the phone with my Son to help me set it up for my new MacBook Air M2. Once set up, the first backup was very fast for Time Machine. It comes with the cables to attach to the new MacBooks.
Done my research here, and fair do’s, it works. No issues linking up with the PS 4 Pro. My get one for the PS5 so far, so
Originally used it with my MacBook Air but because the Apple OS would only let me preview my photos and not let allow me to edit them without making program changes that I did not want to make I moved the SSD to my Windows 10 laptop. No problems at all now. I have transferred 116GB of photos with plenty of room for more. Much, much faster than my older external hard drive. Very glad I moved to SSD.
This pocket SSD drive is compact .. I’m sure it will do what it says it will do .. i have an older laptop and bought this only for back-up purpose .. i experienced lower / mid 2 digit speeds coz usb 3.0 wil not be compatible with older devices/ computers, so had to use an ordinary c type cable meant for charging phone to connect to the laptop and it did well… No heating issues .. plastic body could have been more sturdy ..since the device is very light it may not cause body damage when dropped, the build quality should have been better considering it holds data that could be pricless in terms of users sentement and personal value ..
Works with Mobile phone. i have a tried to connect it with Oppo K10 5g , it connects and reads the ssd instantly.. have not yet checked tranfer Speed, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
I just received the product and have been to work with it. iwill Surely update the experience post a few weeks / months usage , to highlight any other pros / cons about the device..
At the moment if feel it’s an affordable ssd and can be purchased without 2nd thoughts..
Purchased at discounted price of 4,499/- on sale
It was recommended to me to replace my old one. Delighted with dinky size.
Works well
So far so good
I bought this to store video game software. It works fine, but it needs a more comprehensive online user’s guide. I had to ask my grandson for help setting it up (not kidding)!
I am loving this drive! It’s way smaller than my last drive (previously I had a WD drive that was about the size of my full hand – this Seagate drive is about the size of my palm – even a little smaller) but it has twice the storage capacity! I also love that I can use this like a giant flash drive and just drag & drop files onto it without having to run backup software that takes an eternity. Granted, it still took an eternity to transfer nearly 1TB of data onto this new drive once I got it, but I just let it run overnight and it was done well before I woke up. I haven’t activated the Toolkit software that lets you sync folders for backup purposes, but I don’t know if I will or not. I kind of like just being able to drag and drop in the files that I know I want to save instead of having my computer hang onto backup versions of literally everything on my computer. All in all, this seems like a good drive. I’ll probably be buying another Seagate drive in the future whenever this one gets full.
Ich schreibe hier zur Seagate Expansion 2 TB externe SSD, die ich an einem Mac betreibe. Funktioniert einwandfrei, sowohl am M1-Mac, als auch an einem Intel-Mac. Soweit keine Probleme, Kabel fr USB 3 und USB-C sind mit dabei. Im Lieferzustand ist die SSD mit exFAT formatiert, fr den reinen Mac-Nutzer kann man mit dem Festplattendienstprogramm das Format zu APFS wechseln. Wer Daten zwischen Mac und PC mit der SSD kopieren mchte sollte jedoch bei exFAT bleiben.
Die Geschwindigkeit, die hier mit 1000MB/sek. angegeben wird, ist aber wohl eher ein Scherz. Die Platte wird mit 5Gbit (USB 3.0) angebunden, da wren theoretisch sowieso kaum mehr als 600 MB/Sek. mglich. In der Praxis bleiben davon dann ca. 400-420 MByte/Sek. brig, getestet mit Blackmagic Disk Speed Test an verschiedenen Mac-Rechnern, Intel und Apple Silicon.
Ich habe die 2TB-SSD am Prime-Day gekauft (194 Euro) und somit ist der Preis okay. Auch nicht teurer als eine Crucial MX500 in einem externen Gehuse. Aber kleiner und leichter. Aber eben auch nicht schneller oder langsamer als eine Crucial mit SATA3-Anschluss. Fr den normalen Preis von 272 oder wie bei Seagate auf der Homepage angegeben ber 400 wre sie aber wahrlich berteuert.
Eigentlich htte es auch 5 Sterne geben knnen, weil ja alles okay, aber fr die freche Angabe von 1000MB/sek. gibt’s einen Stern Abzug wegen Lgerei.
While it was smaller than I thought it would be, it is also VERY fast when connected directly to the USB-C port on my laptop. I purchased this hoping it would read/write as fast as my hard drive, I was not disappointed. Did I mention I can carry this in my pocket? I stayed with a 500Gb model because my laptop will not need anything larger, it is a good fit for my needs.
I bought this drive to replace a failed hdd drive for my photos. It’s about the size of a credit card – maybe slightly bigger, but not by that much. It’s fast and easy to use. I’m glad I selected the Seagate brand. I have another Seagate external drive and it’s easily 10 years old and still works great so I decided to stick to that brand.
Fcil de transportar, se siente mucho mas pequeo una vez lo tienes, puedo mantenerlo conectado y al transferir archivos se mantiene bajo en temperatura, tambin trae sus cables USB-C y USB-3.0 y viene formateado en exFAT para usarlo en Windows y MAC.
Es la primera vez que compro un ssd y las velocidades son bastante altas solo not que si transfieres archivos de un disco duro a un ssd la velocidad se limita al del hdd.
Tambin algo que trae es que al registrar el producto en su pgina te da un mes para Adobe creative cloud.
Does what it meant to. Extremely small and portable. Very fast recall and transfer speeds. If you need a lot of storage would highly recommend.
An exceptional drive which is very fast indeed and cool running.
It was very straightforward formatting it and then using it as a backup for my M1 iMac using OS Monterey.
My only, minor, criticism is the length of the cables that come with it – 9 inches – come on!
Does what it says, not bad price for ssd storage.
Really small in the hand, huge capacity and fast, whats not to like.
