Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

They're a solid investment for anyone looking to expand their digital horizons without breaking the bank. It is not the fastest drive, but the price point for the capacity is pretty much a win-win. This is where i landed and stayed ever since.

They are highly portable, so i can take my files wherever i go. They work with mac but you need to go through an installation step in the mac utilities. To plug in- select go-utilities in finder menu bar-in utilities folder double click disk utility- ... Read More

Tb is a lot of space and will last me quite a while, but the plan is to eventually rip my entire film and tv collection to stream over plex, so i'll eventually need to upgrade to a much higher capacity. I have a 1 tb external hard drive that i use but... Read More

Cons

The ad says it is compatible with mac, but my experience says it's not. No cursor movement, nothing. As of today it now goes none responsive before doing almost any task.

Files are lost after backing up my first zfs snapshot. After the same exact issues on 2 seagate drives, seagate tells me they can only send a replacement (3rd drive) this drive was advertised on amazon as having a two year warranty and with rescue dat... Read More

Lather, rinse, repeat. Just totally ineffective.

Highlights

Quality

Speedy , almost 25mbps for data transfer and it’s pretty compact

Works great and i have confidence that my files are safe.

It worked perfectly for 4 years then it crapped out.

Drive is very loud while syncing old drive.

Price

Bought this on a discount day but worth full price.

And they offered 14 terabytes for an unbeatable price.

I found this drive gave me 8 tb of new space for a fraction of what i paid 10 years ago.

Shipping

Delivery was quick and was a gift.

This arrived in excellent condition, and very quickly.

Competitiveness

They are incredibly fast copying data about 80mbs compared to the 30mbs for the previous seagate drives.

Seagate has made itself known as the most reliable, efficient, and fastest hd on the market, and i can agree.

I bought these drives (2 of them) to replace a couple of seagate 5tb drives that had run out of space.
