I had a back drive from Seagate, I had a problem placing the data on a new hard drive. At no charge Seagate recovered the data and installed it a new hard drive, plus replaced my old back up drive with a new one, all at no charge!

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

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.

Got a good deal on this, 5TB of storage. Hooked up to my Xbox and have had no issues. Will update review if there are any changes.

It’s working awesome.

my third unit... working great so far! i took it out and put it in both my Dell and HP server and they work flawlessly. 5tb is basically nonexistent in 2.5 format on servers so these are great for cold/warm storage. These are SMR so probably not good for raid.

So Ive been using this device for about a year. Then I noticed that intermittently it would not appear in Explorer. Its plugged in, why isnt it working. Well, after literally months of this, Im just now figuring out that its the cord that goes from the unit to the USP port thats causing an issue. Its not secure, kind of wiggles. I dont want to get another unit because the stupid connection doesnt work but what use is the drive if it wont boot up. Unfortunately, my availability to have tech support ended just a mere 10 days ago. Not sure what to do at this point. So, just check that your cord is really tight and secure if you buy this device. If not, return it and look for another brand.

For basic backup and archiving, this drive is a superb choice. I have 8 of these drives used this way, and they have all been reliable. I cant comment on using it as an everyday work drive and how it would hold up in that higher-use situation. However, for that, you will be better off with an SSD or a faster mechanical HDD. For archiving and backup, this one is a sure winner.
