I have seven (7) of these HHD’s and they hae all performed as advertized. I like that you get 2 years warrenty!!! Just n case.
bought this to keep my iPhone topped up on a long flight and fro long days at events and it exactly what was required
Exactly what I wanted, so easy to use and set up practically instant. Brilliant item
Despite the answer to one of the questions, the 4TB version does not have a USB-C socket. Otherwise it is just fine.
I purchased this 4TB hard drive to back up both my iMac and my Windows 11 laptop. I plugged it into the iMac and it was recognised straight away. I connected it to my laptop to partition the hard drive (couldn’t do it on the iMac). This allowed me to set up 3 partitions for the various tasks I wanted to perform. I have found it to be both quiet and quick at data transfer.
I would recommend this product and if needed to I would buy another one.
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.
Use for roms for emulation on PC works well never had an issue to date not super fast but reliable would recommend
I use the product as a backup storage disc for my Mac laptop. I like the product’s storage capacity and its ease to set up.
Bought this to consolidate both main in use drives, though I now need an external power supply. Restored my backup to this drive and copied the other one over, and am off again.
Linear writes topped off at about 140MB/Sec, reads about the same. I edited some video from the drive, it works well for this purpose but an SSD scratch disk is always better.
For my own local backup that’s updated weekly with one touch, I plan on buying a second.
Great drive but if your buying it, make a backup :-). Buy two!
The quality is high, but I purchased a 2TB only to discover it is actually only 1.81 TB the actual size, that is not really fair.
It had better reviews and Google said seagate was my reliable so I decided to give this one a go. Glad the other one didn’t make it me as it made me look again for one and I love this and suits my needs to store my go pro footage. I also got an amazon hard drive case to go with it which it fits nicely into
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
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.
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.
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.
