I have owned this for just over 9 months now and am very happy with my purchase. I will definitely recommend this drive.

great stability and plenty of space to backup all of our data

none so far

Bought this drive as local backup but MS Backup fails everytime complaining of sector or related errors. Formatted the drive to try to clear the problem but still no go. Will probably have to return and try another drive.

High Capacity; Portable; Quiet

Unreliable

does just what it should with no problems

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.

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

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.

I had purchased this drive as I want to backup everything and want to safe my collections of memories in it. it has a software for backup. and also a mobile backup app too. . Pros: It saves photos from facebook and other social networking sites automatically.The transfer speed between this drive and...

I have 2 5TB and 1 4TB Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 HDDs running in my Windows 8.1 home media Storage Spaces Pool. All 3 of these drives have random disconnects. I either have to disconnect the power supply to the affected drive, or reboot my Windows 8.1 computer.

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!

Genuinely portable, good read/write performance; Reputable manufacturer

The bundled software functioanality is limited; Bundled USB3.0 lead is a little short

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.

love the large storage capacity. great to use as a backup hard drive or to store precious photos.

This is one of the best hard disk drives available in the market. The hard disk is very easy to use and operate. Just go for it friends.
