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!!!!!
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.
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
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.
Searched around and, for the price, this suited all my needs. After arrival I have found that it is very satisfactory.
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
I’m happy with the purchase and managed to free up memory on devices which can now update and running efficiently.
I love how portable this hard drive is! It’s really light and I take it everywhere with me because it’s so compact. Really great buy!
fantastic hard drive the previous one i got i had to send it back but this one is anew one and i can,t fault it really massive space on it and really smooth and easy to use one of the best things i,ve bought on amazon and i,ve been here for years brilliant piece of ki
I’ve been using it for over 6 months now and it’s never given me any problems.
I’ve not noticed any delay, or speed problems when playing games saved there.
Have filled this in because review wouldn’t send without me saying something.
I had already purchased the same Hard drive previously and so far been Happy with it. So I have purchased another to link to a second system, and I am as happy with the new one as my original purchase. Easy to contact and get going, and it does what it says on the box, at the time of purchase, not badly priced. I am happy with my purchase.
So far no issues. Works as intended. Very light and huge storage capacity. Records not as fast as SSD but that is expected. For the price good value
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.
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.
