Let down

I have had 3 of these drives and returned two of them. The detachable power supply appears to be the problem not the hard drive itself. Also, at times simply touching the drive or usb cable will turn it off. They are worse on a Mac IE: drive spins down whilst copying and hangs the process.

Quit after a exactly a month

Worked fine for about a month. Just as I was finishing copying my old external 160GB drive to this new one, it stopped working. The drive does not spin up, is not recognized by the computer, the light on the front keeps blinking, and the drive makes beeping sounds, almost like a busy phone.
Pros:
  • usb3 inexpensive fast
Cons:
  • stopped working

Absolutely great product

This is the 2nd purchase of this item and I am totally satisfied with both of them. I use one to store all of my videos and the new one to back up everything else. Haven't had a single problem from either of them. I would recommend them to my friends.

This backup drive is an excellent deal--the best price I have seen. The transformer that plugs into the outlet is making a buzzing noise...otherwise I would give an even higher rating. However, still too early to know how a b/u drive will perform in the first week.

a great drive at a good price

I am a big fan of the seagate drives, the ones where the base connects into the drive- as you can remove the hard drive part and add what ever drive you want, so for example a friend comes over with a broken laptop, you can pull out the drive and stick it on the seagate dock and immediately access...

Great back-up control

The Dashboard control panel is very easy to use and allows either continuous or periodic back up. Just started using and looks really nice. If performance crashes I'll give a follow up review.

Seagate Backup Plus Desktop 3TB - External 3.5 Inch Drive - Black

This unit is the "Back Up Plus" which is much better than the cheaper "Expansion" drive at a better price. Very happy with the unit very easy plug and play. Chuffed with the price, absolute bargain.
