This is my 10th Seagate HDD purchase. I really love seagate external hard drives. I have 1 TB, 1.5 TB and 2 TB. A few days ago, when i saw this new model edition and i thought of giving it try. I liked the design but the problem is its in ”exFAT” system format. Usually, most of the drive will be in NTFS which is quite user friendly. But this ”exFAT” has biggest problem with transfer speed. So, i have to format to NTFS and now, transfer speed is good. So, as of now, its better to go for older model than new one. Because full formatting takes hours and it just painful and consumes time. Yes, you can go for quick format but full format identifies bad sectors and it literally completes formatting procedure.Of course, ”exFAT” is advance file system of FAT32. And also it detected with Sony LED TV. But the problem is transfer speed. And also i read the file system formats in Seagate website, especially about ”exFAT” file system, kindly see below:”exFAT: generally compatible with Mac and Windows. exFAT is not a journaled file system which means it can be more susceptible to data corruption when errors occur or the drive is not disconnected properly from the computer”This is not user friendly but you have to format it to NTFS to make it as user friendly. Therefore, i leave it up to you, guys! and its your call for going for this new edition of Seagate.

NOTE: All are tested on windows 10 with USB 3.0 compatible port & cable.writing speed: I got maximum of 109MB/s for *.zip file avg 50MB/s for some *.mkv files to exFAT & NTFS formatreading Speed: avg 100MB/s for same *.zip file maximum 110MB/s for *.mkv file I am facing heating issue while transferring files & connected standby.

8TB Ext HDD for wonderful price. The data transfer is very fast over 100 Mb/s. Product dispatched in 2 days after order and arrived sooner than expected. Packaging was really nice. Seagate 8TB ext hdd at 17k is an excellent bargain. Its not bulky or space consuming. Less or no noise and transfers all data files in a jiffy. A must have product. Product design is very artistic. Looks and performance wise is excellent and a quality product from Seagate at an affordable price. Overall 5 stars.

My storage device stopped working after 6 months and when i decided to replace it, I faced lot of problems. Seagate customer care is pathetic, they are literally making me wait on calls for 10-15 minutes without answering my queries, and this has been happening from past 2 months. I also registered my product on Seagate website for replacement purpose but nothing happened. They want me to drop this device at their service centre but for that i need customer ID which i can get through customer care. So, I am trapped in this vicious cycle from past 2-3 months.

I bought this a week ago. The product is really up to mark. The transfer speed is great bought write and read. It is Handy and easy to carry around. Compatibility is good as I have tested it for Mac and Windows. I will do the testing for Linux and Android too. I will update the review after 1 month of usage.

Current prices is not worth per TB. I had purchased this during sale.If you have more than 8TB or close 8TB worth of data, It’s always better to buy 10 TB so that you don’t have to split your data in multiple drives. This is a standard product . I had good experience with Seagate HDD in the past. The read and write speeds is more than 100MBps when both the destination and source are using USB 3.0 ofcourse.

I purchased this product and this comes with a year subscription of Kaspersky AV. But unfortunately I never got the AV I called up Seagate and they never answered and Amazon is saying it will be provided by Seagate. So all I can say it is a cheap trick. Well the product itself is good but bit disappointed with the kind of business Amazon and Seagate is doing. If someone have any resolution please email me at ashok.dhiman25@gmail.com. Thanks

Segate is good and old Brand but not a user friendly. Free Seagate Rescue – 2 Year Data Recovery Plan Instruction book doesn’t have in English and when I spoke with Customer care they said this service will be one time free with in the 2years of warranty from 2nd time it will chargeble.Mobile Backup facility will be remove after 2018 it seems. Its also S#**####s doesn’t work at all. Please go for the Basic one instead of paying more and buying this product.

The Amazon Courier Service is excellent & it made to my expectations .Very Slim.Good quality & genuine product.only 1.81 TB is available.Read & write Speed is So good (USB 3.0-faster than 2.0 )I have already registered the product….got 3 years warranty.If u r Buying …Go for Cloudtail items(seller).

I bought this 2Tb hard disk on one of the Amazon shopping festival for about ₹5000. It was great deal since its usually a bit higher than this. Well about the hardrive , Have been using it for around 3 months now , Haven’t had any issues so far. It has got moderate tranfer speed around 30 to 40 Mps. It produces a bit of noise which you won’t even notice. If you are looking for a HardDisk to store your stuffs, This is a must have. I definitely recommend this.👍P.S : A Protection case would be good.Regards,SureshIf you’ve found this useful, Then do let me know by hitting thay button👍

Great product !!! Smart buy !!!I think of it as a great choice for enhancing storage and backing up important data.I found the product to be sleek, hardly taking up any table space.I could easily connect another Seagate 4 TB Backup plus, USB 3.0, external, ‘powered’ hard drive along with a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 500 GB, USB 3.0 hard drive, which worked flawlessly together.The basic concept is, the two USB 3.0 ports act as additional ports for USB devices expansion.So even if you connect a USB mouse, keyboard, speakers, pen drives or anything which requires a USB port, work here also. Cellphone, power bank charging as wellThe data transfer speeds entirely depend upon the type of USB port (2.0/3.0) you plug it into.Best part about USB 2.0 & 3.0 is that they are both ways compatible.I’ve always believed USB, as one of the best inventions and best among interfaces for IT related products.———————————————————————-Regarding Amazon, their network of vendors and delivery services, I had ordered the product at around 9.27 pm on Nov 2, 2018, and it was delivered at 7.59 am (almost a wake up call) on Nov 3, 2018. That’s like within 11 Hrs.Great work, Great Network !!!

got it on sale, so was quite happy.After a month of using it with a iMac and FCP we found that the project files should not be saved on the drive as this causes it to disconnect often. Its only usable if footage is stored on it, and the actual fcpx project is saved on the internal imac’s drive.
