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 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.

I use this to back up my C: drive and NAS. It does not require a separate power supply, drawing power through the USB-3 cable. It is quiet, and very easy to transport.

While all hard drives fail at some point, Seagate drives fail with enough annoying frequency for me to not recommend this drive at all. The Seegate warranty is robust and the returns are accepted and replacement drives are sent back. No problem there. But the failure rate within the warranty period is quite regular. I already backup to redundant external drives. But it is indeed inconvenient to have to backup large volumes of data over again. Do not buy.

I love Seagate brand hard drive it highly reliable i never have a problems and great price 5TB it amazing

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.

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.

A great amount of storage for a low price. I have put so much of my computer files on this and there is still so much room. It is a great size and easy to use

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.

Doesn’t work. Maybe I just got a bum one.

works extremely well.
