Usb Connectivity
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the USB connectivity of the Seagate One Touch Hub 8TB External Hard Drive. While some users appreciate its front USB A & C ports for charging their devices and syncing music to their iPhone, others report random disconnections and slow transfer speeds when using it as a primary storage device, particularly on PC or Mac systems. Some users also mention the lack of real USB-C, Thunderbolt, or other professional-grade connectivity options.
Large Capacity
Customers have mixed opinions on the large capacity of Seagate One Touch Hub External Hard Drive, with some praising its ample storage space while others expressing disappointment due to its use of Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology which can lead to slower performance and data loss concerns.
Highlights
Quality
Easy setup, backed up 8tb of data from raid drives in 5 days
The usb wire is a good length and plug adapter has multiple types for use in other voltage or country.
Ok first off, most of these are exyos or ironwolf drives with no warranty, just the warranty for the plastic case.
Dont let the prettiness or worthless hub fool you, because you are paying extra for junk cases that cripple the drive
Price
Without hesitation this is it, it's a shame i didn't get much of a deal on black friday.
Competitiveness
Now i have many of seagate hard drives it’s a brand i trust and has lasted longer than most other hard drives.
2 10gb you wont get better than 3gb (like it makes a difference, it's just techno babble and tech lies).

Second off if you use something like usbtree or hdsentinel youll see seagate is purposely limiting the sata speed to sata ii so even though these advertise sata 3
