Seagate Ultra Touch HDD 4TB External Hard Drive - 15mm, Pebble Grey, Post-Consumer Recycled Material, 6mo Dropbox and Mylio, Rescue Services (STMA4000400)

bought this due to review comparing it to other drives by same manufacturer However still find it unbearably slow Now honestly, moving gigabites in volume is a lot of bits to move, so ???? .... but it clearly is usable as back up storrage only and NOT for live use of anything beyond looking at a small sized jpg . I am not unhappy, if it holds up as Back up storrage, but will need to find additional solutions

Totally easy, just plug it into your Mac and it does its job. Follow your instructions on your Mac, but you have other options too, if all you want to save is photos. I didnt need tech support, so left that at not rated. But its there if you need it. I have 3 of these.

Bought to get more storage space. Have had good experience with Seagate in the past. This drive is small and light. While I do not intend to take it with me, it would be very convenient to transport. The only thing I dont like is that I havent figured out how to fully disable the locking feature. UPDATE 2/16/2021: Two annoyances. First, in order to assure continuous backup you have to disable the locking feature which I finally figured out. Second, when I wake up my computer I routinely get a message that the drive has a problem. I have Windows scan it and a problem is never found. Took away 1-star as a result.

My husband set it up for me, I went to plug it into my computer to back up more photos and it was Locked and I don’t know the password… my husband has a different external hard drive and I now use that one because I don’t have to worry about it locking on me.

Muy útil, fácil de usar y los documentos protegidos

This device is fragile and poorly designed. I’ve used WD most of my life and wanted to try a different brand. Well, that didn’t go so well. Right after, (not exaggerating here) I transferred my life to this HD it fell 1 feet, onto a highly carpeted floor wheel it was in an insulated case. I plugged it back in and it started to beep - I had to send it into seagate for data recovery (thankfully I purchased)

Works fast. Would be good to come with image software..although that is not its intent per say

I dont know why I keep buying Seagate backup external hard disks. Every one Ive bought over the years has been troublesome on my Windows PCs. The hard disks themselves have been flawless but the automatic backup software has routinely failed to automatically back up my data. This one sometimes gives me an error that the volume cannot be found and that it needs to be formatted but then the next time I turn the PC on, it works fine. Every few minutes I get a pop-up message on the screen, sometimes saying the backup has failed, sometimes saying the backup was successful. On the other hand, this one has the ability to add a password to protect the contents of the hard disk, which is a good security feature.

Im using this for Time Machine backups on my MacBook Pro. Works seamlessly, no problems setting it up. Connection works great, eject works as expected, and the device is light and sturdy. It does exactly what you want an external hard drive to do.

After using this product for 3 weeks I find the hardware to be okay (cant say much after 3 weeks) but the software is extremely poorly written. Very sparse user interface. Once you set up a backup plan theres apparently no way to edit it. Mine stopped backing up files 5 days ago, and theres no way to check to see whats wrong, no way to restart it, etc. This is supposed to be automatic but once Windows goes into sleep mode the software just stops working. Hard to believe this comes from a major hard drive vendor. I submitted a question to Seagate this morning. If I dont receive a workable, dependable solution within 2 days Ill return the product to Amazon as defective. A backup solution needs to be automatic. Too bad the company that made Click-Free years ago is no longer around. That product worked. Probably secondary to the geniuses at Microsoft putting too many hurdles in their way to keep the product useful from one version of Windows to the next.
