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

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.

Due to the size of this device can back-up my entire computer and have the ability to store pictures and other files just in case there is a problem with my main computer. Piece of mind.

I dont know about tech support never needed to call them. I have about 10 of this drives and use them a lot. i have only had to replace 2 for crashes after many years [probably more than 10] of use.

A very convenient device for extremely large amounts of digital storage space. I am in fact satisfied with this product. It does what I need it to do abundantly!

Ive had good results with Seagate drives before and this seems to be just as reliable. It may be of interest to some people that it is a third the size of my other 5TB drives... My new iMac has no problems with it; I dont use some of the supplemental software that came with the drive. The device works with the USB 3.0 hub I bought recently, which is a real plus as some of my other drives wont. It is as fast as Id hoped, moving large files quickly; I make archival-quality photo scans of 50MB and it effortlessly moves folders crammed with images. Based on results at this point, Id say it is exactly what I was looking for.

A whopping 130 MBs top speed... Nice storage capicity for the price tho!

This is my 4th Seagate. I’ve only one issue with them before as far as losing files. This time it is a different issue. I noticed after awhile that my Mac book would say it was disconnected without ejecting first. Each time I checked, it was still plugged in and I could see it was connected on my Mac book. Then I it started happening more and more. Now I can barely get it to connect at all. Sometimes the cord entirely slips outside of the port. I have tried several cords and it is all the same. So I assume the port is too loose. It is only 2 months old at this point. I’ll be asking for a replacement.

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

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

I have switched to Seagate external drives. I use them to store my photographs and back-ups. I had 3 WD drives crash at the same time luckily I had a back up on my Seagate 5TB external drive. I would recommend this product for its durability and price. I hope you fin this review helpful.
