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 use these for archiving client products for video productions i do for clients, to save room on my working external hard drives. never had any issues with performance. you get good value for the money.

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.

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.

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.

Its quiet, small and works perfectly!

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

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.

I liked the first one I bought, so I bought a second one. Great for backing up data to protect against computer crashes.

Exactly what I needed. Love the portability.

works extremely well.
