SeagatePortable 5TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, & Xbox - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX5000400), Black

I recently purchased the Seagate Expansion 8TB External Hard Drive (STKP8000400) to back up my growing collection of photos, videos, and documents, and I’m very satisfied with its performance. Setting up the drive was truly plug-and-play—just connect it through USB 3.0 and it’s instantly recognized by my computer without any extra steps. The transfer speeds are excellent, so moving large files takes far less time than with my older drives. The 8TB capacity means I have more than enough space for my current needs and plenty of room to grow. The compact design fits neatly on my desk, and it runs quietly even during long backup sessions. Having Rescue Data Recovery Services included adds extra peace of mind in case something ever goes wrong. Overall, this Seagate external hard drive is a fantastic choice for anyone needing a large, reliable backup drive that’s simple to use and trustworthy.

Llevo usando este disco duro Seagate Portable de 2TB desde hace un tiempo y me ha funcionado muy bien. Es fácil de usar, solo conectarlo y ya está listo para guardar todo tipo de archivos. Su tamaño compacto me permite llevarlo a donde quiera sin problema. Además, es compatible con diferentes sistemas, lo que me da mucha flexibilidad. En general, un producto que cumple bien su función y que recomiendo para quienes necesiten almacenamiento extra.

Finally got around to copying all of my data and this device is perfect for my backups. The wire speed could be faster, but that may just be because I'm so accustomed now to ssd's. Pretty good though for a traditional hard drive. Incredibly easy to install, simply plug it in and start transferring. There is also registration instructions built in to get you set up. Designed with lots of breathability so I didn't need to worry about overheating. Very happy with this purchase!

The best size density in the world is under USD 10,000 (06/2025). I have used this product for a month, combined 10 older hard drives, and tossed them away. I have about 2 million files on the disk, including a million academic articles and 100K personal and published legal files.This will allow my computer to fully index and access all my files, legal writings, legal, medical, philosophical, sociological, psychological, surgical, nursing, pathology, and other knowledge domains. This drive enables me to perform enterprise-level work while my income is below the poverty line. I once accidentally lost power because I unplugged it while it was writing files, but no disk errors were identified.I position the drive stabilized, cables secured, and an air-filtered fan constantly blows on it.This 28 Terabyte (TB) HDD [25 Tebibytes (TiB standard; listed as TB in Windows) will enable me to achieve my goals in ways that I have envisioned for the past 15 years.

Good unit, so far; I bought two 24 TB units (after formatting you get about 21.8 TB of data storage space), replacing three smaller, much-older drives that died during a recent storm. I bought this size because the per-terabyte cost was the lowest I've seen in years; and I bought TWO (2) drives because one is for the data I want to keep, and the other is for backing up all that data I want to keep, because...21.8 TB of data is a lot to lose if one of those drives gets taken out by another storm. All things eventually die.BUT! WARNING!It comes formatted as exFAT, and that's not really identified anywhere that I saw. I only noticed by accident when I went into Drive Manager for an issue with another drive and to re-letter some of the existing drives.So, for all you Windows users out there, you're probably going to want to reformat to NTFS BEFORE you start storing a bunch of data on it. Otherwise, you're likely going to hate yourself later, when you have to RE-copy massive amounts of data off of the drive onto a different drive (or drives), formatting it to NTFS, and re-copying the data back onto the original drive. (Still in the process of doing that.)The drive was physically smaller than all of the previous units I've bought, even though those older drives held MUCH less data.Installation was a snap--just plug 'em in, and they work--and the power and USB cables were generously long enough to reach my drive storage stand.The data and the backup units both seem fine, after over three days of copying data onto them (with some breaks in between large data transfers, to allow both the sending and receiving drives to "cool down") and random testing ensured good copies were received by both drives without issue.All in all, very happy with my purchase(s), and I'll definitely be buying more of them, eventually, as I fill these up.

Muy bueno. Útil para tener un backup si tienen mucha información almacenada. Los Seagate tienden a deteriorarse con el tiempo (4 a 5 años) y he tenido 01 pérdida masiva de información con un Seagate de 4 tb adquirido hace 4 años. Una vez recuperada parte de la información he tenido que hacer un backup de todo y este tipo de discos es útil para aquello.

This hard drive is an absolute beast for storage needs! With a massive 24TB capacity, it’s perfect for backing up large files, media collections, or professional projects. The setup is straightforward, and the reliability is top-notch. A solid choice for anyone needing vast, dependable storage—definitely worth every penny!I don't think I've ever found a hard drive solution with this much storage at such a great price!

Great drive for its value. Backed up 8TB worth of video's from my Seagate 20TB Exos drive to this drive today and the average transfer rate was 252 MB/s and the whole operation took about 10 hours. That's a very good rate for an HDD not in RAID config.Also drive has good ventilation as it never crossed 40C during the whole write operation. Unlike my exos drive which are quite loud i didn't hear this drive at all about 2 feet away from me.
