    • Spacious, easy to use, works great
Style: Expansion HDD Capacity: 8TB
Using as a media drive, it's not the fastest, but plenty fast enough for a media server. USB 3 connection Fairly light Holding 800+ movies with no problem at all.

    • I am very happy with my purchase.
Style: External HDD Capacity: 5TB
I received my 5 TB Portable HDD in the mail today, and I just finished transferring 1.5 TB worth of games and other files to it. It seems to be a good HDD so far. I had previously bought an open box 2.5" 5 TB HDD on eBay for $102 and I had all kinds of problems with it. First, it would not format as NTFS. Whereas this Portable HDD was already formatted as NTFS and I had no problem re quick formatting it as NTFS. The other one had a HDD failure after copying 70% of my 1.5 TB of game files. And it took like 12 hours just to copy 70% of 1.5 TB. Whereas this new Portable HDD copied all 1.5 TB of files in like 5-6 hours. And finally, this Portable HDD has its own case and USB Cord, so I don't have to spend another $30-50 for that stuff. Do I think that this Portable HDD is perfect? Not 100%, but close enough. For one, I wish that the USB Cord was 2 feet long instead of only 18" (1.5 feet) long. In the Questions & Answers section, there were different answers on how long the USB Cord was. One person said half a foot. Another said two feet. I stupidly believed the guy who said two feet long, but he was wrong. It's 1.5 feet long, not 2 feet. Also the part of the USB Cord that plugs into the computer's USB port is a tiny bit loose. I wish that it was more snug. I did have four tiny hiccups while copying my files from the old HDD to the new HDD. The first hiccup was it saying that there was 0% Progress on coping a 67.5 MB folder, but the entire contents had already been fully copied and the copied folder even said 67.5 MB in Properties. I even re-copied and replaced the folder, but it still said 0% Progress in the transfer window. I had to disconnect the Portable HDD and plug it in again to get rid of that 0% Progress message. The second hiccup was my computer not detecting the HDD after my first laptop restart. I had to unplug the HDD and plug it back again. Although later, I restarted computer a second time and the HDD showed up right away. The third hiccup was it refusing to copy a different folder the first time. I cancelled it by clicking the x button on the top right and then tried it again, and it started copying the second time. And the fourth hiccup was checking the sizes of all my folders and learning that one of the folders hadn't copied completely. I recopied and replaced, no problem. It was a small sized folder. I'm pretty confident that everything should work good from now on. At least I would hope so. I don't have a backup of this stuff, and I don't want to have to start over or bother with copying HDD contents again. I definitely recommend this HDD for the price and seemingly good quality, especially considering you don't need to buy a hard drive enclosure or other parts. Although the USB Cord isn't exceptional, it's good enough so I probably won't be spending any more money getting a different one. The 3.5" HDD isn't that much bigger than a 2.5" and you can put the HDD someplace where it doesn't take up any desk space. So yeah, I definitely think that this will be your best solution for 5 TB of hard drive space. Update: It's been seven months since I purchased this item, and it's working great! ... show more

    • I SLAMMED IT AGAINST THE GROUND AND IT STILL WORKS
Style: External HDD Capacity: 5TB
WOW. Okay, so I've had a 1TB Seagate External Hard Drive for years now, maybe five or so? And after lots of data transfers and moving it from computer to tv to laptop constantly and dropping it a bunch of times, it finally started to glitch on me. Since it lasted a long time and worked so great, I went for another Seagate with a lot more space. I had it for two weeks, and it worked fine. It was plugged into a desktop in an upstairs office, and I needed it downstairs for my laptop. So I went and grabbed it, but when I hit the second to last step coming down, my foot slid out from under me, and I went down to the ground, HARD. I landed flat on my front, and I had thrown my hands out to catch myself, which meant I slammed that hard drive flat on the ground with all my weight behind it. It then shot out from under my palm and slid across the floor, hitting a wall. I thought that was it. When I picked it up, the casing had come apart on one side, the chord had disconnected - no way this thing would ever work again. Plugged it into my laptop, and sure enough, it wouldn't read it. Neither of my laptops would, and neither of the TVs would. I thought I'd just smashed $115. The next day, though, I decided to give it one last shot, so I CAREFULLY went back upstairs and plugged it into the desktop. THANK GOD it worked - I assumed the desktop just had better ports and I quickly transferred all the data off it, while also reordering the drive again (along with a heavy duty one because I'm clumsy, obviously). Once it was empty, I reformatted it, and since it was working so well on the desktop, I transferred one of my videos back on to it, then took it back down to test on a TV. IT WORKED! I've since put more stuff on it, and thus far it's working FINE! Across ALL devices! Like ... what kind of wizardry is this!? I couldn't have been rougher on it if I'd literally thrown it at the ground, I slammed it that hard - and after just letting it sit for a night and then reformatting it, the drive works fine! I mean, I wouldn't trust it enough to store something on it without backing it up first, but thus far, it's like nothing happened to it. Based on that alone, I one million percent recommend this drive! ETA: When I got this product originally two weeks ago, it shipped in a plain, slim, brown box, inside a snug clear plastic container, with one little leaflet for an instructional manual. I was like okie dokie, whatever, as long as it works. Then I thought it was strange that when I went to reorder it, the black one would no longer ship to my address (I'm in Mexico), considering I'd just gotten it two weeks ago, but whatever, I just got the silver, color doesn't matter. It just arrived, and this silver version came in a very official looking product box, with the Seagate logo on it, and lots of instructions and special offers inside, all perfectly sealed with tamper-evident tape. Even the casing on the actual drive seems dramatically different. So ... was the black one a refurbished item? ... show more

    • Works fine, runs warm.
Style: Expansion HDD Capacity: 14TB
I've only had this a few days. I'm using it to have a backup of my media server's internal drive. I replace the internal/external drives about every 5-6 years to avoid having one or the other die and losing the data. I have every dvd/blu-ray I own ripped and compressed on them and access my media server via my roku devices. This drive runs warmer than the WD external it replaced and warmer than my other 3 internal drives, 2 of which are also seagate drives. I've ordered a fan to place near this, which should help. It basically just idles all the time unless I'm copying a file to it. It's been a couple days since I mirrored the drive, so it's been idle since. It's currently sitting at 48C whereas my other internal drives are 33C/34C. Seems odd that it's running at almost 120F while at idle when it's 70F in my house right now. It took 10 hours or so to mirror my media server drive to it which has just under 6TB of data on it. I used macrium reflect to clone it so as to not alter the modify/create dates/times on the files. I use those to build playlists out of the latest videos I placed on it (as well as various other playlists for quick access). Seems fairly quick to load videos to watch (which I'll never do) and to copy individual movie/tv series files to (which is what I will use it for). I don't know what actual HDD is in this box, would be nice to know. ... show more
