Quality, Great Price, Great backup
Amazing how light these Hard Drives are now. Seems to work great. The Windows registration software on the drive works nicely, and takes you to the product support page where Seagate has good software to download for doing an image backup of your system or for checking the drive. Simple, one cable, no power cord needed, works great. Not a speed champion, but quite fine for storage and backup.

Plenty of Storage in a Simple, Portable Package
Plenty of Storage in a Simple, Portable PackageIâve been using the Seagate Portable 4TB drive for a while now, and it has quickly become one of my most reliable tools for storage. What struck me first was how little effort it takes to get started. Out of the box, it was literally plug-and-playâno drivers, no setup hassles. Just connect it to my laptop and it was instantly recognized.The 4TB capacity is perfect for what I needâbackups of my work files, a growing photo/video library, and a good chunk of media for travel. Itâs a compact little drive that fits easily in a bag or even a jacket pocket, and because it doesnât need external power, I can carry it around and use it anywhere without worrying about an outlet.Transfer speeds over USB 3.0 are solid for an HDD. I wouldnât use it for constant video editing or heavy real-time tasks, but for moving large folders, streaming media, or doing weekly backups, itâs been smooth and dependable. It runs quietly and doesnât heat up noticeably, even during long transfers.One thing to keep in mind: like all mechanical hard drives, itâs not built for drops or rough handling. I keep mine in a padded pouch when traveling just to be safe.Bottom line: If you want a straightforward, reliable, and high-capacity external hard drive at a fair price, this 4TB Seagate is hard to beat. Itâs simple, portable, and does its job exactly as promised.

great value for price
Got the 28tb version , works as expected for an external HDD, handling large transfers with ease, and breezing through smaller file transfers without a hitch.The enclosure is sleek and compact, feels like is of good qualitySetup was quick and easy, everything came in the boxThe drive can get a bit noisy when it starts up but that’s not much of a problemIts a really great value for the price

KPOP STANS! THIS IS A CONCERT GO-ER MUST HAVE!
This has been a life saver, like literally. Since I’m constantly going to KPOP concerts, it was only a matter of time before I ran out of storage on my phone AND laptop, and now my videos are saved on this hard drive and it doesn’t lessen the quality of the footage either! Videos stay at their original sound level, time length, etc. Super small (even with the cable, its like hands length) so I’m able to travel with it when I go out of state for more concerts!

Good big drive, good price, lasting over a year now
It was an excellent price, that’s why I broke down and bought one, but I think it may be so big it bogs down my computer, folders sometimes stall opening or saving files. Also risky keeping files on such a big drive unless you have it backed up with another drive: if it bricks completely you’ll lose 8TB of files. But still working well over a year later and does what I need it to, I have 2 mirrored, as with all my drives, I certainly suggest everyone do that with any files they care about. I also install all programs on the drive instead of on my C drive and had 2 computers fail over last few years but just plug into the drive and most programs work immediately if you keep the Documents folder on the drive.

Phenomenal drive for media storage
I purchased this expansion drive almost 2 years ago now (11/2023), and have been using it daily ever since that time. It’s been great for reliability, quality, and is way more space than I could ever need. I backup a lot of my purchased courses that are in both video and audio format, and this drive has been very good for that purpose. I do not use it for backup purposes, so I can’t speak to it in that regard. For saving media, it’s phenomenal.One thing that slightly concerned me when I first got it was that it was noisier than my 4 TB model was; I thought at first it was a problem with the drive. However, the noise has been consistent for the whole time I’ve used it, and it has never been a problem at all. The noise I’m referring to sounds like the drive is searching or scanning for something – only really occurs when I write large amounts of data to it or when it first mounts or starts up.

Perfect storage solution for all your files, photos, etc.
So much storage for such a small device! I love the space it saves. I can just put it in the case with my computer with no problem. Just slightly larger than a deck of cards. No set up or process to use – just plug it in and you are set.

Good price range and healthy disk so far
So far, this hard drive is doing well. Took a bit to transfer around 5tb of info and it works in a pretty decent speed for meing a 7,500 standard hd.No clicking sounds, app shows a good healthy disk. Let’s see in a few weeks if the behavior holds.

What i like about this HDD is the stable transfer speed with power supply unlike other that are unstable transfer speed. Got few TB of data transferred at ease.Only thing that might be a down side is the sound created might be a nuisance but overall it works very well for my heavy data. Will be back if data exceed again!
