Capacity: 8TB
I needed a large storage device for backups and large files to share among various computing devices. Once you get above a certain storage size (a couple of TB maybe), high-quality flash drives get quite expensive, so I opted for an old-fashioned external mechanical drive. I had originally purchased a different Seagate 8TB USB 3.0 external drive, but it did not come with a power pack and relied solely on power being supplied by the computing device. Several of our older devices could not provide this power, and even purchasing a powered USB hub didn't work, as many powered hubs can't supply both power and data on the same port. So, I ended up returning that drive and purchased this one. So far, it seems to be exactly what we needed as it comes with an 18-watt power pack that also surprisingly had about half a dozen power plug options that you snap in so you can use this pretty much anywhere in the world where they have AC power. The speed is what I would have expected for a USB 3.0 drive, as long as you plug it into a USB 3.0 port on your computing device.

Great, for local storage either networked or not. Recommend replacing their garbage usb cable that comes with it (cable matters makes a good one). Pretty silent under low operation, speed is usb. Lifespan with seagate is hit or miss. I’ve had drives from them last a couple days and I’ve had drives last nearly a decade so hardware gambling. Wouldn’t recommend anything sensitive going on it, if it dies it’s gone. I use mine paired with a local caching machine for windows and steam updates. (Games too) it runs on the network via that “server” and as I learned when dealing with mechanical drives, don’t put stuff on it you can’t afford to lose. Was getting 460ish MB/s average read and 390ish MB/s write with your peaks and dips associated with HDD madness.

Hot garbage! Yeah sure it was cheaper and had more storage space than the competitors but I should’ve just bought other brands. Less than a month it just stopped working and started beeping….meaning hardware failure. Customer service is all bots then “human” via chat. I would be better off just burning my device to get anything. Slow to respond asking questions I literally told the answers in the initial what is wrong today. Asked if dropped recently. Ok if that’s your go to question maybe make it so it doesn’t stop working if it was bumped or dropped once. Other brands don’t seem to have that issue maybe put in better casing. Just a thought. I will send away and hope for the best and see what I get 30-45 business days from the day they receive. Update 1: When I setup the recovery I was given a choice to receive a hard drive with any recovered data (size of hard drive matches size of the recovered data) and either a replacement hard drive of one you purchased or the guts of your old drive which will cost you import fee and not have the casing. So far I have an update that they received my device but so far haven’t started to scan to recover data. I received my replacement hard drive that didn’t come in a box as if sold in the store and the outside of the box said refurbished. So basically you pay for full price new item it crashes you may get your data recovered or not but get a refurbished item replacement which typically costs less. I tried to return refurbished one because I paid full price for a new one and they said because it’s over 30 days (only because it took awhile for them to mail me my replacement so over 30 days maybe by a week or two) they won’t accept return per Amazon policy and take it up with the manufacturer directly…which I will but after I see if they recover any data I wouldn’t want to tempt them to “attempt and not be able to recover anything “…this is frustrating… Update 2: Got notice about 60 days or so after sending away the device that no data was recovered…shocking I know. It gets worse so I was able to start piecing my life back together slowly using recovery software on my other hard drives to recover some of the data I had moved to this product and then boom the replacement (a refurbished product) boom just crashed and died. This now is the third Seagate device I owned that crashed and died in my life, never had WD crash. I am asking for a refund from customer service at the Seagate and got asked to show proof of purchase and said I was eligible for refund and that they were processing it to then quickly say to rebuild your confidence in our product can I interest you in a new build? Apparently it’s sorry for your frustration twice but hey give us another chance to prove you right about us….I asked to talk to the supervisor as maybe they have authority for a refund and got the same run around. Ugh!!! So now gotta send it away to get a replacement that probably will die again. Take it from me don’t buy it!!

I recently picked up a 22TB external hard drive, and so far it’s been a great value for amount of storage you get. The capacity is huge for the price, which makes it appealing option if you need a lot of space without spending a fortune. Physically, it’s a typical external drive—nothing oversized or bulky—so it fits easily on a desk or shelf. One thing to note, though: it can get a bit loud at times. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it running full‑time in a quiet space like a bedroom office unless you don’t mind some background noise. My main use is offsite backups, so I only plug it in for short periods. Because of that, it’s too early to say much about long‑term reliability. Performance‑wise, it’s not the fastest drive out there, but it’s perfectly adequate for backup tasks and general storage. Overall, if you need a ton of space at a reasonable price and don’t mind occasional noise, it’s a strong choice.

Great value per gigabyte. I recommend replacing the included USB (type B micro connector to USB type A) with type B micro connector to USB C for faster performance. The downside is the drive can be very loud when spinning up so you don't want to be using this drive in a quiet area like a bedroom. There is an included utility to keep the drive awake this but it only works on Windows. I have several of this model and all have had the same issue--it's a design flaw in the logic board not a defect in the drive itself. As others have pointed out, these drives do have an almost guaranteed failure rate. But, in my experience it is always a logic board failure and not a drive failure. Placing the drive in a new enclosure always gets the drive running again with zero data loss and fixes the noise issues as well. If you are thinking of buying this drive to shuck it's a great value but otherwise know you will most likely be replacing the enclosure due to failure about year two or three.

Large size DataSafe! I have 3 of these (Two from Amazon, one from a brick and mortar) in the 22TB form for data backup, which seems to be what they're designed to be. A piece of advice from a data hoarder: Always have 3 backups of your data, one offsite. I have ~20TB of media and other data that I need to keep safe and purchased these before the price went crazy. Two I have on site and keep them up to date, backing up monthly or if there's a big change, and the other one I update bi-annually that lives in a safety deposit box at the bank and rotate every six months. To me, the data I have is priceless. If the price comes down I'll definitely buy another one in a size or two larger just because losing all my data gives me the heebie jeebies, it gives room to grow, and I'd just put that one away long term. These drives, to me, seem to be designed as somewhere you put your important data, put the drive back in the box, and only open it again when you're backing up, or when the unthinkable happens and you need to rebuild a hefty NAS, and for that, they're phenomenal. It doesn't seem to be designed as a constant use drive as some here are using it for. Unit comes with a somewhat cheesy USB to MicroB, which is... short but adequate. Buy one of the near bulletproof braided metal covered cables and toss that into the box for long term storage and forget about it. Additionally it has power adaptors for just about every possible and unpossible power solution, so if you need to take a backup to shores unknown, from downtown Anyplace Earth, you can set it up anywhere, do your file transfer, put it back in the box, and be happy. Stay DataSafe!

Bought the Seagate Expansion 22TB desktop drive and it has been trouble-free since day one. Plugged in the power brick and USB 3.0 cable, the drive showed up in Windows right away, and I started copying files. No reformatting needed, no extra software required, no disconnects or weird behavior. Capacity is the point of this drive and it delivers. Transfer speed has been good — it stays right around the write speed of the HDD itself, about 230 MB/s in my use. That is exactly what I wanted for backups and large file copies. Build is simple and solid. Zero issues so far. Happy with the purchase.

This 28tb drive showed read-only access one day, on the next it made repeated clicking and then would not even spin up. It was on surge protection. Never fell or was tipped over. Checked power adapter and it was ok. So if you need RELIABLE (more than one year storage) look elsewhere. As to warranty service a claim was filed and i did receive a response back from Seagate. UPDATE : Seagate replaced the drive. So it is worth your time to contact their customer service and follow the RMA process. I did not encounter any problems with their customer service.
