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.
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.
My ps4 ran out of storage and this was the perfect solutions after previously buying an extension which was of different brand and failed I decided to buy this one and this one is amazing and value for money.
It’s a hard drive. What can i say, especially as i am using it on a Linux system and for some insane reason that’s not what it’s for.
It works.
It’s pretty quick (untested).
Price was right.
Ditto capacity for what i wanted it for (backup).
5TB SEAGATE EXTERNAL STORAGE , Bought for PS5 ,
Does not work in FRONT USB , PLAYSTATION Says to Use Rear USB and then Format , After Formating LOADED From PS5 SSD To SEAGATE External Storage, Game CALL OF DUTY: Modern Warfare II , 110.6GB Took about 21 Minutes.
Happy Now I Can Free Up and Store LARGE PS5 GB’s Files
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….)
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
This is a great product for the price the 8TB does what its meant to, no issues at all with regards to transfers however, there is 1 downfall which is it does slow down your system. would still recommend it.
This drive is the first of this size I’ve used, previously WDs. So far I’ve had no difficulties with Seagate and they were well recommended. 5TB is generally the largest in this size and portability, so are pocketable and recommended.
All my previous seagate external hardrives have solid plastic cover this one have brushed metal one feel kinda empty inside, can’t say nothing about durability haven’t drop it as yet. Old seagate drives I still use after 10 years. Hopefully with this will be same
It would appear that I was lucky and got the 4TB version on offer for just under 90 which was great value. Bought it to use as a dedicated drive for Windows backups and seems fast enough. Seagate as a manufacturer in this market need little introduction as a quality supplier. Product very compact and runs silently.
When I bought my new Macbook I need a new portable disk drive for Time Machine backups. I thought one of the small portable SSD drives would be ideal, but the first didn’t work at all and the second took an eternity to do the initail back up and although files seemed to have been created Time Machine didnot recognise them and proceeded to start another full backup. At this point a decided to use a conventional drive. The backup was around 6 times faster with the Seagate and it has worked fie ever since.
Some have said the drive is noisy – i haven’t found that to be the case at all.
I’ll update this review after the weekend regarding true storage capacity for this unit.
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.
I bought a 2TB Drive
No problems at all and it’s working how it should.
Worth the money
If using for PS4 or anything similar, I would advice getting some sticky feet to attach it to your console so it doesn’t get knocked off
Great little drive. I brought this my Ps4 as a usb storage device. Works perfectly. Moved 100gb from internal storage to the drive in about an hour and a bit. Don’t notice any load speed impact. Highly recommended
Regardless of whether you are using as intended, or harvesting for another purpose, I have been running an HTPC for twelve years and have found the Seagate Barracudas to be incredibly reliable. Even the drives running almost 24/7 have lasted for a minimum of 8 years. I have also found that Barracudas never just work one day and not the next, they seem to gently remind you that they are starting to reach end-of-life. I ripple the older drives through the house network storage unit, which runs in RAID1. You will walk down the hallway and notice one day that the array is rebuilding. That is the indication that one of the Barracudas has done all it can and it is time to order a new drive. But even then, the Seagate drives usually hang on in for another two months, giving you plenty of time to order a shiny new one from Amazon. So, as long as Seagate keep making them, I’ll keep buying them.
For the first few hours of using the product, I kept thinking my phones was receiving a notification to finally realise that it was the hard drive making so much noise and the disk inside moving so much that it was causing the vibration.
Apart from that… It does what it’s meant to
I can’t testify to the one touch function as I didn’t use it. When you first connect to a pc, click the “start here” icon. This will open your browser for the registration page. You only have to put your name and email to activate the warranty. Next it will ask you to download seagte software. I skipped this part as I didn’t want the one touch back up. I prefer manual copy or transfer, especially with large amounts of data. I got an average write speed of over 200 mb/s (approx 211 mb/s). I managed to transfer 9TB of data in better than expected time. I was so impressed that I have since bought another 14TB hub.
Just remember, this is a Hub so don’t directly connect it to another hub or you will likely only get 25 mb/s transfer rate. Connect it to its own USB port on your PC.
First off, the Seagate Portable Drive looks good and feels sturdy. Its sleek black and silver design suits any desktop setup and its compact size makes it easy to take with you on the go. The drive also has a USB 3.0 interface, which allows for faster data transfer speeds and better power efficiency. This makes it perfect for backing up large files and transferring them quickly.
The Seagate Portable Drive also has an impressive 2TB storage capacity. This is enough to store up to 500,000 songs, 1.5 million photos, or 250 hours of HD video. It also comes with a two-year warranty, so you can be sure that your hard drive is protected from any potential issues.
In terms of performance, the Seagate Portable Drive is no slouch. It’s fast and reliable, with read and write speeds of up to 120MB/s. This makes it great for backing up large files and transferring them quickly. It also has a built-in shock absorber, which helps protect your data from being damaged by accidental drops or bumps.
The Seagate Portable Drive also comes with a variety of useful features. It supports PC, Mac, and Android devices and is Microsoft Windows and Mac compatible. It also comes with the Seagate Dashboard software, which makes it easy to back up your data, manage your files, and monitor your drive’s health.
Overall, the Seagate Portable Drive 2TB External Hard Drive is a great choice for anyone who needs a large, reliable storage solution. It’s fast, reliable, and comes with useful features like a built-in shock absorber and Seagate Dashboard software. It also looks good and is cost-effective, making it a great choice for anyone who needs a quality external hard drive.
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
