Used this on my new computer for backups. Easy to connect and use. Backups are inherently slow so write speed is of little consequence for my application. I copied the backup to a second hard drive connected via one of the USB 3.1 ports on this drive. Easy as dragging the file from one folder to the other. 180 GB backup file copied to second drive in about 90 minutes. I was surprised it copied that quickly because of my experience with an older computer and older hard drive but my new computer has USB 3.0 as does this drive and the drive to which I was copying the file so I am very pleased with its performance. I think Seagate puts a variety of different drives inside the enclosure for this product. The drive inside of mine is a 5400 RPM ST8000DM004 Barracuda according to my CrystalDisk utility. Some customers report having received 5900 RPM drives but this one has 256 MB cache and TGMR recording technology (which may be similar to Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) according to some sources though to me it seems to be a form of Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) which is evidently superior to SMR in terms of speed of overwriting existing files).

Bought this to backup an internal 8T drive that stores all my video and photos. Took about 10 hours or so to backup 2 T. Its a USB drive so I didnt expect it to be done in 30 minutes. Its fast enough to stream music and even 4 K video without stuttering. You won’t likely find a better option at $150. Shipped fast as usual from B&H. Thanks

I was really excited to find this product at B&H (hard to find this size external hard drive easily elsewhere). The shipping was fast and free, and the drive works great. I’ve since purchased another, and received a price adjustment when the same product went on sale the next day. Overall quite happy with the customer service and quality/range of products available.

We now have two of these Backup Plus hubs in our home environment as backups to our two main workstations. Backups are VERY fast, simple to set up and manage, and after a few weeks, I can say very reliable. File or data recovery is simple drag and drop. The USB 3.0 ports on the front also simplify connections and provide those extra ports so we don’t need to sneak around behind the hardware. I like it! Good work, Seagate!

I use two for backup on my desktop, and the third for backup on my laptop. They have fast data transfer, and the front-mounted USB3 ports are very handy and fast. Oldest unit is over 1 year.

And the only reason is, that the hd does NOT come partitioned with enough room to install on a Mac OS. You also cannot repartition through the disk utility. You must MANUALLY repartition the drive using the Terminal app and enter code. You can find the code online, but it does take some searching for. If you feel confident that you can do this, the product is great. If you need a plug & play…I’d probably stay away.

I bought the Seagate 8TB Backup Drive because I am concerned about redundant storage. I was going to use it to back my other drives into it. Liked the drive so much I am using it for my main drive and using the others to back up the Seagate drive.

A little loud. I honestly thought my dog was chewing on his bone in the other room but I realized it was this drive. Getting used to it.

I bought 2 of these. One has failed and is currently sitting at a data recovery company to get the FCPX projects off of it.. Although we always back up footage the actual projects / libraries were on this drive. We will be out around $1000 to get our data back. Plus we have to take parts from the other one to use to get the data off of the first one. The recovery company said they see a lot os Seagate drives..Save yourself from the hassle that these drives will cost you.
