Review: Excellent Performance And Reliabliity At A Low Cost - This is an excellent and reliable external hard drive, that offers massive file storage space at an affordable price. I don't know what else to say, other than if you want lots of terabytes for a very decent price, get one!
Review: Huge, pretty fast, secure offline desktop storage. - I have a number of high capacity (14-16 tb) discs mostly to hold video collection. However, this caught my eye as you can set it up to do encrypted backup of whatever you want. I have a lot of cloud based material that I need offline backup. This does the job as well as supplying security on this easily accessible disc. This allows you to leave it in plain sight as possession of the disc won’t get at the content. Setup was a little bit difficult but online help is okay. You can tell it to backup continually, hourly, daily or snapshot. Annoyingly there is not an ‘on demand’ one. I don’t like the continuous as of course it will immediate backup that file you’ve just messed up, this losing the safety copy. Copy speeds are pretty fast for big files. I’ve not tried the usbC link to see if that’s faster as I had a little problem getting connected l, but full speed with the usbA, if memory serves me around 150-200 Mb/sec. Like it’s breathren, these big discs are not portable and are quite delicate, needing separate power supply. You must be careful to let them stop spinning before moving.

*by A***N on 28 February 2025*

So far, so good. Excellent product choice to add extra storage to a high end gaming PC. Seagate customer service is excellent. I had a question regarding my purchase and got an immediate realtime response with a very knowledgable and friendly customer service rep. Well deserved 5 stars. The device has it's on power plug in addition to rigging it up to a PC. It's silent and has rubber feet. Mine is placed on the floor under my gaming desk. Registration was quick and simple.
