My experience of external hard disks covers several years. I have purchased approx 2.5 terrabytes of external hard disks from varying manufacturers to act as storage and backup to my various machines.From experience the Seagate 750gb external drive has proven over the last 18 months to be the most...

One extranal harddisk that you can always trust means thats seagate best company I ever use in my life. Its always trustable company and long life harddisk. Affordable price and worth of buying. In market lots of companies available but my recommendation is always seagate.

Very light. Nice look. And if you are writing items under 100 gb then the speed is 80 mbps....but for more then that the speed is only 10-20 mbps on average...

Seagate has upped the performance ante for portable backup hard drives by stacking two 2TB drives, striped in RAID 0, inside its Backup Plus Fast USB...

Very fast; 4TB of capacity; Very low cost per gigabyte

Very difficult to recover from a RAID 0 failure; Thicker and heavier than single-drive alternatives

I use it as a secondary drive for my iMac desktop. I've had it for about 8months and can't say I've had any problems with it. I do not use it extensively, so perhaps if you read/write a lot to it, you may want to spend more for a "better" drive.

The Backup Plus Fast is by far the speediest and highest-capacity hard-drive-based USB 3.0 portable storage device to date. This latest member of Seagate's Backup Plus family of compact external hard drives achieves that by combining two internal hard drives on the inside in a RAID 0 configuration,...

The Seagate Backup Plus Fast is indeed extremely fast, and includes helpful backup software; The drive also provides top capacity, and is bus-powered

Users can't change the internal drives; the RAID 0 setup might result in a higher risk of data loss

Good for archive , need to buy 2 similar hard drive and copy your data to two hard drive together. If one hard drive stop working you will have another copy.

8 TB - very high capacity for this size hard drive. Good price for this size

Slow recording after recording files for 2-3 minutes; Speed drop down up to 10 times !!! Very poor chance of recovery after a fall or shock this type hard drive. Poor build quality and performance of the device Hard drive have 6 platters and 12 heads + Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology

I use it to backup my Windows notebook and to store some data from my MBP13". The partitioning was easy. The backup process using Windows' software did not work at all calling an error that somehow relates to the 4K sectoring. I used Norton Ghost 15 instead to backup the Windows notebook.

Sleek design Fast enough Silent

4k Sectors (not fully compatible with Windows

The package said compatible with PC's or MAC. To use with PC, you have to go to their website, format it, and then re-format it to remove all the junk the first format puts on it. Seems to work OK as a back-up drive. Nice small size.

Often I am put in a position where I lose out on important files which I had stored on my computer either due to virus or human error. This is why I purchased this Seagate 500GB USB 3.0 portable hard drive which I use to back up all important documents, files, folders, pictures, videos and other...
