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.

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.

Good quality, size and ease of use!
Capacity: 2TB
What will make my comment different from others here is that I am a senior citizen (in my 70's) and I am using an external hard drive for the first time. When people try to explain computer things to me, I feel like they are in the Space Age and I am in the Stone Age! I needed the drive to back up and save the numerous large files on my computer. I am elderly and not very "tech" oriented. If you are like me, or you know someone who is, this is the drive to look at. The makers were not kidding when they called it "plug and play" it is literally that easy. You plug the included cord into the hard drive, and plug in the other end to the USB port on your computer. The screen for the hard drive appears immediately. You do not need to download or adjust anything. Then you just copy and paste your files into the hard drive. And it's just that easy. After you are finished, you go down to the "show hidden icons" on the bottom right hand of your computer and click on the eject hard drive, in order to safely detach the hard drive. The hard drive seems well made, very compact, easy to use and store. If you are a senior citizen, there is nothing here to confuse you or make it hard to use. I have had it only a few days, but I have already stored hundreds of files: videos, documents, music, audio books, all kinds of things. When I decided to get an external hard drive, I was uncertain about it. At my age things need to be easy to use, and this drive is. It is no more difficult to use then a storage disc or USB stick. It also comes in a variety of storage sizes. I am very satisfied with this and would definitely buy it again.

This is a slow Hard Drive, not a fast SSD
Capacity: 2TB
To be clear, it is a hard drive not a SSD. It seems to save about 10 MB per second whereas a SSD could be 100 times faster at 1 GB per second. So overall it is a 10-year older technology that is less reliable or robust and slower than a Solid State Drive. Maybe I was mistaken when buying this but it wasn't clear to me this was not an SSD and that it would write this slowly.

Worth the purchase
Capacity: 2TB
Great storage for musicians and recording projects As a musician, I bought this to store and back up my recordings and music projects, and it has been great for that. It’s easy to use, has plenty of storage space, and makes it convenient to keep recordings and other large music files in one place. I also like having a separate drive for my recordings instead of relying entirely on my computer’s internal storage. Seagate is a brand I’ve trusted for storage, which gives me added confidence when using it for important files. Overall, this has been a great, simple storage solution for my music and recording needs. If you’re a musician or anyone who works with large files, I would definitely recommend it.
