Rubbish Refurb
Would not recommend. Would not purchase again. (Though, to be fair, after decades of computer use and dozens of drives, I've probably been lucky to only have this and an old laptop drive that have crashed on me.
Pros:
- No pro big enough to mention in the face of the cons
- I mean, that it's a lovely shade of black is hardly noteworthy
Cons:
- I had this drive running for 66 days before it crapped out. Without warning. One day, working a treat
- the next day, suddenly, loads of clicking and, if I was very lucky, my computer might see that it existed and had data on it.

Satisfied With the Price & Service

However, when i tried to use, only up to 2 TB is possible to use, it always says, "The Disk space over 2 TB is unable to be used for this MBR...

No Problem External Hard Drive
Would not connect through external USB hub, had to plug directly into my iMac. Pictures in "manual" show it plugging into back of computer, but no written instructions saying it had to be connected directly to port in computer.
Pros:
- Attractive Design
- Compact
- Easy to use
- High Capacity
Cons:
- Noisy

"An Excellent High Capacity portable USB 3.0 drive"
NB I have inadvertently associated this review with the wrong Seagate product in the Ciao catalogue -I have requested admin's help to resolve the error but meanwhile readers should take note of the discrepancy!
Pros:
- Genuinely portable, good read/write performance
- Reputable manufacturer
Cons:
- The bundled software functioanality is limited
- Bundled USB3.0 lead is a little short

Works Great
This expansion drive works great. I had to go to the Seagate website to download the software to run it. It is very easy to use. I used it to transfer files from an old computer to a new computer that I purchased. I am also using it to back up files.

GARBAGE!
Unit suddenly lost power, will not restart, (NO Power) ALL our back-up GONE!! Seagate should be ashamed for producing such a poor quality product. Now to RMA it back, we have to pay out of pocket, were done with Seagates Expansion Desktop Drives.

Don't trust Seagate products with your data!
TL;DR: Don't buy Seagate if your data is important! This has been a problematic drive since I bought it. The 'power saving' feature would cause it to be detected by my laptop as being disconnected when it went into this mode, which eventually lead to my laptop no longer being able to recognize it...

Seagate 3TB Expansion 3.5-inch USB 3.0 External HDD
I ordered one of these from MemoryBits, and it came well packed and promptly - as I expected, as they have been a preferred supplier to me for some years now. My computer experience goes back to the Business version of the Commodore Pet, and in the early days around 1984/5 when I started buying IBM...
