Seagate STHP5000400 Backup Plus 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD - Black USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 1 Year MylioCreate, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography, 2-Year Rescue Service

easy to use. back-up a lot of stuff. needed and useful if you care about what is on your computer, this is a must. good, solid quality.

I use this drive strictly for backups. It has enough room to create and store multiple system images quickly and easily.

This product is exactly fit for my need lots of spaces for my photos and music.

Got this as an external hard drive to replace my 4TB hard drive. Does its job well and I cannot complain. Worth every dollar and will continue to buy from this brand.

I had them before and they stop working suddenly so you never know when it is going to fail, and if it fails you loose everything.

3 yrs in with infrequent backups to this drive (6 times) and it’s already throwing corrupted block errors… avoid

Got it for my brother, to backup all his movie HDs

great hard drive..great memory 5 gigs and super fast shipping

I own several external hard drives and out of all of them only the Seagate ones have been trouble-free. They just work and keep on working. I have small form factor (2-1/2) portable USB hard drives in sizes from 1 TB to 4 TB, and theyve all given trouble free service. I love to have seagate hard drives. Also i would recommend my friends to go for seagate hard drives. It is different from other storage drives, as the speed of the drive is very unique when we compare with other drives. We can purchase with amazon anytime as it is available for all the users with good price.

Got this yesterday. 5 TB of space sounds like richness. Easy to get it up and running -- a matter of seconds. I like that it does not require a separate power cord, only the USB connection cord to the PC. Since this device is replacing my nearly-full external backup drive, I started the file transfer process. 775 GB of data in over a million files. This is where this drive fails to meet expectations. Transfer write speeds vary from 2 KB/second to 2 GB/second. Incredibly slooooowwww. The estimate is that it will take between 60 and 80 hours to complete the copying. Hopefully the drive performs faster when dealing with less data. But, 2 KB/second??!! I believe floppy disks were faster than that! WOW...... UPDATE: It ultimately took just under 80 hours to do the initial backup copy. Going forward, by doing a daily backup of only whats changed, the slowness is less noticeable thanks to low volume. Now I just hope the storage device is reliable and continues to save my backup data for years to come. UPDATE OVER A YEAR LATER: the drive has worked well, no issues. Daily backups of just a few MB scheduled in early morning hours has been good. Occasionally retrieve files from it and it has worked as expected. Upped rating from 2 to 3 stars.
