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

It’s working awesome.

I am super happy with this external HDD, works perfectly and the shipping was really fast. Definitely i will buy it again soon.

I purchased 10 of these drives to use in a Ubiquiti Cloud Key Gen 2. All 10 drives died after only a few months of use. The drives were not under a lot of stress or in an enclosure that had a lot of heat. I tried going through their tech support for assistance and got nothing but the runaround for several weeks without any help. A complete waste of time. Do not buy these drives as they are completely unreliable and will fail you if you use them for a few hours per day. I have 30+ years of IT experience and have used tons of drives over the years with great support, but these by far are the worst drives I have ever purchased.

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

This is not my first Seagate backup drive, which I use as Time Machine on my MacBook Pro. They work fine until they die. My last one lasted exactly 5 years, so not too bad. The new one works fine, too, but the setup was an ordeal because it came with no clear directions on how to format it for Mac. In fact, the minimal directions it offered were actually wrong and wholly inadequate. I spent several hours watching it attempt to reformat, unaware that it was set for the wrong OS. After 4 hours, I got a message saying the reformat, or restore, had failed. I had to search online for full instructions on how to set the parameters for my OS. Using those instructions, the drive formatted in less than a minute and began its first Time Machine backup, which took all night. Not unusual for the first backup with a new hard drive. This morning, I was relieved to see that the backup was completed and the Time Machine feature worked fine. Honestly, this should have been much easier and stress-free. The small booklet that comes with the device has pages and pages in many languages, yet inadequate, brief connecting instructions. These things arent cheap and the least Seagate should do is make sure buyers know how to use their devices without the hassle.

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

The drive is very compact, very portable.

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

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.

Great price for the storage but I’m getting corruption errors as of day 2. Every time I use the drive, no matter which computer I use it on, I get an error saying the drive needs to be repaired. I have multiple 500GB portable drives that don’t have that issue. I’ll give it more time and provide updates.
