Pros & Cons
Pros
For a sizing guide, squares in photos are 1cm. It comes with an aluminium casing and is available in a multitude of colours.
The system recognises when the drive is attached and when it is detached. The drive works smoothly fast and quiet which is excellent!
It offers a decent amount of storage in a reasonable compact shell. New paradigms of storage will be required to go higher. Basic 1tb storage chosen out of preference.
Great value for a 2tb drive with integrated software to make backup simple. All my other large external hard drive are seagate and i use the free “toolkit’ back-up software, so it did make sense to get another seagate drive.
Cons
Within 4 weeks of owning them all 3 have stopped working. Then looses data, so unreliable * and slow. Althtseagwte are really helpful their external hard drives are terrible.
Highlights
Quality
Very good quality purchased as an xmas present
Good transfer speed and with the recovery warranty it gives extra piece of mind.
Mostly, though, smaller disks can do and with the usb-c disk prices going down, perhaps these disks are soon a thing of the past.
Fed with the fact you can't complain direct about this but hey ho.
Price
Great for the price, i'll be buying another soon.
Perfect external drive with high capacity and good price
Competitiveness
Great value for a 2tb drive with integrated software to make backup simple.
It is quite compact, given the fact it is a 5tb drive.
So much small than my previous 1tb hard drive
Not overly expensive for a full 2tb of storage!
