    • Hard drive 4TB
Capacity: 4TB
The Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive is a great option if you need a lot of extra storage without spending a fortune. It’s compact, easy to set up, and connects through USB 3.0, making it convenient for backing up photos, videos, documents, and other large files. Real-world testing of similar Seagate 4TB portable HDDs has shown roughly 100+ MB/s read/write performance, which is plenty for everyday backups and file transfers. What I like most is how simple it is to use—plug it in, and you can start transferring files. The 4TB capacity gives you plenty of room to consolidate files without constantly worrying about running out of space. The biggest downside is that it’s an HDD rather than an SSD, so it won’t be as fast or as resistant to drops as a portable SSD. I’d also recommend keeping important files backed up in more than one location rather than relying on a single external drive. Overall: 5/5 ⭐ — excellent storage capacity, easy to use, portable, and a practical choice for everyday backups and extra storage. ... show more

I used this to transfer video from my NVR. This was a cheap high capacity storage solution for me. It was easy to setup and transfer data. Simply plug it in and let it work. Transfer rates were good. Overall, the unit seems durable. I don’t have any worries about its longevity.

    • If buying a resale unit, know this: FORMAT first
Capacity: 2TB
Two years ago, I paid $65 or $70 when I purchased five of these Seagate Portable 2TB hard drives for PC backups. I was somewhat shocked to find the price has more than doubled to $150. I was happy to find Amazon offered a "Like New" Resale unit for $90 which I ordered saving $60. The unit I received was totally blank. My units from 2 years ago would open immediately in Windows "This PC" Explorer window. My Resale unit was shown but could not be opened as Windows said Access denied. I feared I would have to report a problem to Amazon and possibly return the unit as defective. I consulted my IT Tech Support (ChatGPT) and after quite extensive diagnosis determined via Disk Management that the disk required initialization. Once done and after a restart, the drive opened and I was able to run an image backup. So 4 stars for the Resale unit for not providing instructions to "Get Started" by running Disk Management to create partition and format. If you buy new, then its 5 stars for a very good external hard drive that has been flawless for me in 2 years of use. ... show more

    • Good Quality and it Works Fine with a MacBook Pro
Capacity: 5TB
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. ... show more

    • Tons of Storage For A Reasonable Price
Capacity: 2TB
I had originally bought this external hard drive for extended storage for my PS4, thinking it would also be compatible for my PS5 down the road. Long story short, it only stores games when you transfer them on the PS5 (which takes an ridiculously long time to do, so long that it's just better to delete and reinstall games), unlike on the PS4 where you can directly install and run games from them (I have since learned about the technical differences between an external HDD and an SSD upgrade specifically for the PS5). Nowadays, I use it as a file archive for my laptop, of which this external hard drive by Seagate has been a stable and reliable tool for. I gave a similar discretion on another review for thumb drives from Micro Center, but you don't get the full, usable 2TB of storage, although it's very close at around ~1.87TB. Since I simply needed this for extra storage for games and now general files, this has more than enough space for me, although I'd recommend saving up for more depending on your specific use case. Overall, while I'm disappointed about the situation with my PS5 (that's arguably not Seagate's fault, just simply a technical reality), this portable 2TB External HDD Hard Drive by Seagate is definitely worth the money for the immense utility it provides. ... show more

    • 100x Better Than WD Drives
Capacity: 4TB
This drive is the very definition of reliability. The transfer speeds are pretty good, I've never once had any of these drives overheat, installation is very straight forward and the cooling is really good. The stability is also wonderful as well. The only bone I have to pick with the drive is the pricing. It's a great external hard drive and all, however the price for the drive is a little bit expensive. ... show more
