As a music producer, my last external drive was much smaller and it began to fill up quickly. I bought this Seagate because of the known quality, and the size. I understand that with a Windows computer, it’s plug and play. If you use a MacBook Pro, it is a simple task to prepare it. I’ll copy instructions for Mac preparation. It was ready to go in about a minute. It’s not something to worry about. Here are the instructions: First an easy installation, you’ll use Disk Utility on the Mac to erase and reformat the drive; it’s straightforward and only needs to be done once before you start using it. 1. Decide on a format For a drive used only with your MacBook Pro for plugins/projects: APFS (best for SSDs, modern macOS, fast and robust). If you also want to plug the same drive into Windows regularly: ExFAT (works read/write on both Mac and Windows, fine for large audio files). 2. Erase and format the drive Connect the new external drive to your Mac. Open Disk Utility (Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility). In the menu bar, choose View → Show All Devices so you see the whole physical disk, not just volumes. In the left sidebar, select the top-level entry for that external drive (it will usually show the manufacturer’s name and “Media”). Click the Erase button at the top. In the dialog: Name: Something like “Audio Plugins” or “Samples”. Format: Choose APFS (or ExFAT if you need Mac/Windows). Scheme: Choose GUID Partition Map if offered. Click Erase and wait for it to complete, then click Done. After this, the drive will mount on the desktop in the new format and you can start moving plugin content or sample libraries to it. It took time to move data off the old drive and load onto the new drive. That’s natural. With this new Seagate drive, I store all my music plug-ins and virtual instrument files along with a large collection of audio and midi files. When producing music, there’s no delay and everything works fine. With that said, I have the new M4 chip and 48GB of Ram. With that, the computer works fine, but the Seagate also keeps up just fine. This Seagate external drive was a good purchase. It is reliable, portable and built well with a good appearance.

✅I got the hard drive to off load pictures and videos off my iPhone and it works perfectly. The size is small and compact enough that it does not take up desk space ✅ I like how fast the hard drive downloads and uploads videos when I need them as well. If I am doing bigger dumps then it will take 30-45 mins ✅ I also like how black and sleek it is. Very professional. It is also easy to hook up per usb cord to my pc. ✅ I also appreciate the level of security that it has so my friends cannot gain access to certain files

This has been working great! Super quiet and easy to use, speed is great for the product. I haven’t noticed it being slow at all, and it keeps up with all my projects. Super light and i carry it with me daily for class and work. Very much college kid/young professional friendly. The storage space is awesome. I would buy this again.

Fast, fairly rugged, and reliable. It came formatted and also comes with the interface cable in the box. I'm very pleased! These drives are a nice piece of mind and an insurance policy knowing your system is backed up just in case it crashes. Some data cannot be replaced so it's good to have a copy!

I use 16 such drives, a mix of Seagates and competitive drives, for my backup solution (two sets of backups of two machines, each of which requires four drives -- I have quite a bit of data -- with one volume set stored offsite at all times). This kind of drive is certainly the most cost-effective solution for 5 TB of bus-powered storage, but it has some limitations. Unfortunately, 4 TB SSDs are still prohibitively expensive for this application, costing about 4x per byte more. 1) It's a shingled magnetic recording (SMR) drive. That may be needed to achieve this kind of storage density on platters this small, but it does mean that if you're trying to write multiple terabytes of data to this drive, it will typically slow down drastically after the first 100 GB or so. That may well depend upon the filesystem used on the disk. I'm using ext4fs in a LUKS-encrypted container on Linux; writing 4.5 TB of average 10 MB files took me well over a day. Write throughput frequently dropped under 10 MB/sec for extended period of times, interspersed with short periods of 70-100 MB/sec and averaging about 25 MB/sec. The same applies to drives made by competing manufacturers. This is much less of a problem with incremental backups, which are much smaller and which the drive can handle within CMR cache. 2) If I create an encrypted LUKS container spanning the entire drive, I've found that I get I/O errors when creating the filesystem (mkfs.ext4) or checking the filesystem (with fsck). This does not happen with ordinary filesystem operations. Via a long story related to a single drive that had genuinely gone bad, it led me to believe that all of the Seagate drives in my fleet were bad. There turned out to be a simple enough solution to this: rather than using the entire disk, creating a partition starting 1 MB in. Once I figured that out, I had no further difficulty. This was not an issue with drives made by another vendor. It's not something most people will run into at all (if you use the drive as partitioned from the factory, you'll be fine), and losing 1 MB out of 5 TB is not significant. I suspect it's likely a firmware problem/limitation of some kind interacting with the LUKS container (it did not happen if I did not LUKS-format the drive). It's not a reason not to use this drive, just something to be aware of if you want to use these drives for cheap encrypted backups under Linux. 3) When writing large amounts of data to SMR drives, it's first written to CMR (conventional) cache space on the drive, which is fast (100-140 MB/sec). After writing is complete, the drive will spend some time reorganizing the data on the drive. As such, it is probably a good idea to leave the drive plugged in for some time after writing a large amount of data (I usually leave it for 30 minutes after writing an initial backup to one of these disks).

When I finally got it to work, it was very good. It has a decent amount of capacity. It isn't as fast as the LaCie d2 Pro, but it got the job done. I had originally decided to return it as my computer, A Mac Studio, did not 'see' it as an available drive, but noted it was out there - just grayed out. This turned out to be caused by my antivirus software (ESET). The software was doing its job, it was just quietly blocking disk access. I fixed that by uninstalling and then reinstalling the AV software. Then it worked fine.

This is my second Seagate Portable External Hard Drive. I bought one about two years ago for my consulting business and have been incredibly happy with it for all the reasons listed below. As a result, when I decided to purchase another Portable External Hard Drive to combine and replace several 8+ year old (much smaller capacity yet physically larger) Portable External Hard Drives I immediately went to the Seagate Brand. Over the years I noticed the Seagate Brand has gained wide name brand recognition in the field since I bought my first one. I like Portable External Hard Drives as opposed to the cloud because I believe they provides more security for my data. When I plan to be away from my home for an extended period, I simply unplug them and store them in my safe. Additionally, in my experience with my business Seagate Hard Drive I found them to be very sturdy/durable when it accidently gets knocked off the shelf it is laying on. I also liked that they offered me 3 data storage size choices (2TB, 4TB, 5TB) but for my needs the 2TB was all I needed. Finally, their small/compact size (physical) means they fit nicely bundled together lying next to my powered USB switched hub.

I take a LOT of pictures, and I was constantly getting those annoying notifications that I was out of space. I was tired of paying monthly fees for cloud storage, so I bought this Seagate drive to finally digitize my ancient physical photo albums (probably over 100 years worth!) and clear out my devices. It’s such a relief to have all that history in one secure, physical place instead of scattered across old albums and full phones. Technical Specs & Performance: Functionality: The functionality is pure plug-and-play. I just plug it into my laptop and drag my pre-organized photos directly into the drive for instant storage. Cable Length: The included cable length is just right for desktop or laptop use—it's long enough to be flexible but short enough to keep my workspace organized and clutter-free. Design & Durability: I love the sleek, compact design. It’s very portable, and the overall durability gives me peace of mind that my decades of memories are physically secure. Capacity Options: While I went with the 2TB version, they also offer 1TB, 4TB, and 5TB options depending on your specific storage needs. Final Verdict: If you want a straightforward way to keep your digital life organized without a monthly subscription, this is a solid win.
