    Capacity: 5TBPattern: HDDVerified Purchase
    Been a year and 8 months now. I still have it but I use a WD now because it's a little quieter. But I still use this drive and it stop works flawlessly, of course I don't use it each day anymore but it does still work. Now I'm thinking I may hook it up to my ps4 soon

    5th month now, still no issues, it may have disconnected once i think but went right back. Still loads as fast as internal, i hardly use the internal for anything. I dont transfer stuff alot on it, but when i do my photosand videos i send them right to the drive and its very fast. I only currently have about 500gb on it but i just got a new cam and using lots of RAW files and my camcorder creates big files at 60fps so i needed this. I also should mention a few things again: 1 i formatted my drive before i transfered anything that way my pc can be more compatible per se. 2. It's only been hooked up to my one pc, if i wanna get something off another i use a flash drive between the two. 3. I dont move it, it sits on the floor where it's basically been since i got it, again i dust it and lift it to do that but that's it. Remember its a desktop external its not made to keep moving, get a portable for that.

    So it's been 4 months now and the only thing that has happened is it seemed to disconnect twice but reconnected immediately, although that could have just been my computer but doubt it. Other than that it's still working perfectly fine. I keep up with what others write just to look for any red flags. I should also note that I hardly ever move or touch this drive, i moved it twice to dust it and that was minimal, its been sitting in the same spot laid on its front for the whole time. My data still loads as fast if not faster than the internal drive and has no lag. Seems this drive is hit or miss with other users. I saw these drives at walmart as well but didnt see the 5tb. This is my first external and have nothing else to compare it to, so buy at your own risk

    I rated 5 because it's the first day. So I will explain as much as I can. First understand this device is as good as the device you connect it to. I use it for my pc, it's a great pc if you have a slow older pc it may not perform at its best. Alot of reviews complain the speed is slow but you have to format it so that your computer can format it to its settings, once I did that my speeds went to about 179mbps i transfered about 410gb in 20 min it flew by, also I used the 3.0 port which is 10 to es faster than 2.0. The drive doesnt have many vents, ut I laid it on its side with the bottom facing out so that it can breath, it only gets warm, hasnt gotten hot. Also I read some complaining about the cords, well my port is very tight so the cord stays in and I have the drive sitting by the power cord so I mever even had to unwrap that. Seagate claims to have a file online to turn off the LED light. As far as noise, it's low to me kinda like a light fan sound, it's relaxing, I like it, some don't. Other reviews clai ed once you format it to xbox u cant use anything else with it...unless of course you reformat it to whichever device you're trying to use. Now with ,y computer the device shuts down when ,y computer shuts down and it boots up right along with it. I also noticed after just leaving my computer idle for awhile the drive seemed to go into standby (indicated by the blue light going off) but i could still access the files on it and 2 sec later the light came back on.

    So next thing I did was I wanted to see if I could access the files as quickly as my internal drive, I had a bu ch of HD videos and pics...in case you are wondering I used a HP slimline desktop very great computer and fast. Anyway, I was able to open my video just as fast as when I use my internal, same with pics, it actually seemed like it may have been faster at times. Now i dont know if it's because the drive is that good or because my computer is fairly new but like i said its as good as the device you hook it to. I also want to note that contrary to another reviewer this device has not slowed down my pc whatsoever. I forgot to mention I have the 5tb model.

    Last thing I will say is, there was some reviews stating not to leave the drive running. Like i said it seems to spin down when not in use for awhile but i am ot 100% sure. Regardless hard drives are made to be used and running, my old crappy computer from 2009 i still have and i us3d to leave it running 24/7 for the better part of 6 years because i dont like restarting unless I have to and it still works. My current computer I also leave running 24/7 and no issues whatsoever. Lastly, understand this is a "desktop" expansion hard drive NOT a portable drive, meaning it's not meant to bounce around from place to place or even room to room in my opinion, desktops are stationary as should any desktop external drive connected to it. If you plan to switch between computers etc, should probably consider a portable drive. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

    UPDATE: So it has now been a month and this thing is still running smoothly, I haven't moved it it has been on it's side the whole month, has handled transfers smoothly, spins up rather quickly, quiet for the most part and still very fast. I really think the bad reviews come from people who move it around alot, like I said it's a desktop external not a portable, so if you get this get it woth the intention of keeping it stationary as opposed to moble. If any questions, just ask

    Eu trabalho com arquivos muito pesados e preciso fazer bkps constantemente de volumes muito altos (cerca de 20gigas ou mais) e ele fez a transferência em menos de 5 minutos!

    Um detalhe: para usar no Mac e PC é preciso formatar para exFat, pois ele só vem configurado para funcionar no PC. Apesar de vir um software pré-instalado para cada plataforma no drive, ele não é compatível com a versão atual do Mac.

    Mas a formatação é simples e rápida. Perfeito para usar com o Time Machine.

    Mauvaise qualité. Aucune confiance en ce produit qui m`inquiète du fait de risquer de perdre toutes mes données alors je n`ose pas m`en servir. Je l`ai acheté pour rien. En plus, mes 2 autres Seagate, après quelques temps ont perdu toutes mes données, indiquant que ces disques durs externes sont complètement vides, ce qui est totalement faux, j`avais tout mon travail la-dedans. c`est innacceptable de la part de cette compagnie.

    Rien à ajouté, répond à la demande.
    Discret, sobre et discret.
