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

i got this drive to consolidate all my video and picture files. its one of several redundancies im using but its nice to have everything in one place for archiving purposes.

This is my second Seagate Backup Plus drive. First one is still in use after several years on an earlier computer. Ive never had any issues or problems with either.

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.

Perfect. No issues months later so far. I also have a 4TB. The wife uses this one for movies etc.

I bought 2 of these and use them to backup Blu-rays and UHDs to while saving to expand the storage of my file server. I have spare cables plugged into my HTPC to watch content directly off of them.

Works perfectly right out of the box. Didn’t rate tech support because I didn’t need to use it.

I’d been advised to get a 2TB external hard drive to back up my entire Mac mini contents before purchasing and transferring my data to my new Mac mini. This 5TB HD is much more room than I’ll ever need, but the price was so reasonable, and this way, after loading everything onto my new computer, I can just leave this plugged into the Mac mini so it can continuously keep backing up the data every night. I also bought a case to transport it safely to the store and back just to be safe. I called the Seagate phone and a nice lady in Toronto guided me through setting it up and starting the backup procedure. Allow a lot of time; I had so much in my computer that it had to work overnight. But now I’m all set for the foreseeable future.

Went from a 2 tb external and a 1tb internal hard drive for xbox games to just this.

I dont like the contained software so I wiped it off, but I DO like the product. Its small, doesnt need external power and works as expected.

I have had exemplary service from this drive although I do not expect data recovery under the limited warranty nor do I expect a spinning drive (not SSD) to transfer data live a supercomputer. I am a simple person needing simple reliability for simple backups of my simple laptop and desktop. Something to grab in case of fire or hide incase of theft. EZ-PZ. If the third round of economic incentive checks ever materializes I ma buy two more and set up my NAS box. Wouldnt THAT be cool? Yep Yep Yep.
