1.0 out of 5 stars | EXTREMELY SLOW WRITING SPEED
Capacity: 4TB
Style: Portable HDD
Color: Black
Are you a creative? Edit video? Need a back up or external working drive? Don't buy this. Example: 85 GB on another USB 3.0 Seagate Drive: 13 minutes. On this drive? 1.5 hours. Get the Back Up Plus instead. I just wish the item description of this product included writing speeds. It just says "Fast Transfers"

An absolute great purchase! Small enough to fit in my hand and it doesn’t get in the way! I love that I can buy/download as many PS4 games as my heart desires and it’ll be a long while before the space is filled up! Edit 7/21/21: I just wanted to come back and give an update. I just upgraded from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5. The process was made a whole heck of a lot faster and smoother thanks to this little miracle. I successfully moved over 70 games with absolutely NO problems! NO issues with speed! Once this one is filled up (which will still be a while) I’ll not hesitate to order another! I still have about a terabyte worth of space left.

4.0 out of 5 stars | nice 8TB, esp the sale price; internal 3.5" HD is a decent one.
Capacity: 8TB
Style: Desktop HDD

could not pass up - one day sale was 40 bucks off the usual price. deleted factory partitions and formatted as 1 ext4 partition (about 7-odd TB, as expected) for use with my media server. seems to work decently so far. mfgr warranty is only 1 year for US I believe. Amazon offers 30 day free return if defective. some specs: internal HD model: ST8000DM004-2CX188 Seagate 8TB Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch 5400rpm SMR / Shingled Magnetic Recording (not the best scheme, but not terrible if you're mostly archiving media / playing back, but not deleting stuff all the time) external model, i.e. this USB3 desktop product as sold by Amazon: STGY8000400 / 763649127322 / 3660619403899 / 10763649127329 Made in Thailand (or at least the case + assembly is, not positive about the HD itself, but probably that as well) in addition to the USB3 cable, it came with 6 (yes, six!) country adapters for the (international*) DC brick: - US/CAN - type A - UL/JP - type A - KR - type F - AU - type I - UK - type G - EU - type ?C? not much else to say, for now. it works, quality seems ok. no firmware updates available/visible on Seagate's site. * AC/DC brick input: 100-240V - 50/60Hz, max 7A output: 12V, 1.5A (i.e. 18W)

1.0 out of 5 stars | Absurdly slow write times
Capacity: 8TB
Style: Desktop HDD
Color: Black
3+ days after beginning a copy of my Time Machine backup (approx. 2 TB), it had yet to complete the copy. It was reading "2 hours remaining" when the copy ultimately failed. I restarted immediately, and here I am 7+ days after it all began and it's stating "2 days remaining." Incidentally, this new drive was purchased to replace a different drive that was dropped from the rotation after it catastrophically failed losing all data. That drive was a Seagate. So disappointed.

I am again impressed how technology has advanced. My old hard drive is 4 times as big and probably 8 times as heavy with half the storage... Bought for a Mac, works just fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars | Good choice.
Capacity: 4TB
Style: Portable HDD

I needed more storage space as I'm a music producer and was running out of storage space on my older 1tb USB 3.0 external drive. So far this drive is working great on my mac and windows machines. No issues of any kind. Hopefully it stays that way. Two points of contention for me are as follows: 1. It is a bit noisy when it's running. I've had other drives that were certainly quieter when in use. 2. The case seems okay but I wish it were more durable. That being said, for the money, I'd buy it again and I may buy another one to backup my backup because you can't be too careful!
