    Share your thoughts with other customers

    Customers say

    Customers find the external hard drive reliable and sturdy, with good storage capacity for photos and video, and appreciate its compact size that's smaller than an iPhone 10. They consider it a great value, particularly as a cheaper alternative to cloud storage, and praise its ease of use as a plug-and-play device. The functionality and speed receive mixed reviews - while some report it works well straight out of the box with fast transfer speeds, others experience driver failures and slow performance. The noise level also gets mixed feedback, with some finding it surprisingly quiet while others report clicking metal noises during writing.

      Does what I needed to. I wanted a large hard drive as a backup for my documents. Arrived promptly with great packaging and works out the box as expected. Good build quality and relatively quiet for its size, though not going to be functionally portable given its size but good around the office/home and can be transported if required. Seagate has a good reputation for reliability so should be good for its purpose.

      Capacity: 5TBStyle Name: StandardColour: Black MattVerified Purchase
      I purchased the Seagate Portable Drive, 5TB, External Hard-drive via Amazon almost 2 years ago.

      I've regularly copied various documents, videos, photos onto it since with no issues, (approx' 2TB worth), ensuring I always clicked on `Remove External USB Drive` before disconnecting.

      The drive stopped working, even though the small white powerlight was on, and I could hear the internal of the portable hard-drive spinning confirming it had power ok, but my laptop was displaying a warning that `Windows cannot recognise this device...`.

      I replaced the USB-3 cable with a new one, but still no joy. I tried all the Device Manager options, `Uninstall USB Driver`, Restart laptop, and other potential options, even following many steps from YouTube videos, but everything was confirming it's a faulty hard-drive.

      I contacted Seagate online and they were very helpful, prompt and confirmed my hard-drive was still under the `Recover date warranty`. After various tests on the device they took me through (in case it was a problem with my Windows Drivers, or other), it was then established that it was a problem with the hard-drive.

      Seagate provided me with a Returns Label (to post the drive to their Data Recovery Department, which I did. I was kept informed throughout and a few days later got confirmation that all my data had been successfully recovered, which was then soon sent to me on a new hard-drive. Brilliant news!!

      I really can't thank Seagate enough for their AMAZING customer service, smooth and prompt data recovery, and for the new hard-drive. Highly recommended and I will certainly stick to the Seagate brand.

      Achei o produto excelente pois formatou em NTFS (veio formatado como exFAT); como uso para fazer backup de muitos arquivos pesados precisou ser no formato NTFS que é compatível com o PC. Estou fazendo o backup plugando o HD através da USB 2.0, apesar de ter percebido que no USB 3.0 é muito mais rápido, porém para não dar problema de salvar os arquivos, prefiro fazer de forma mais lenta. O produto chegou muito rápido que esperava, adiantando em 5 dias úteis para receber. Até agora não deu nenhum erro das trilhas do HD e a capacidade dele me satisfez. Mais para frente quero comprar outro igual.

      Achei o produto excelente pois formatou em NTFS (veio formatado como exFAT); como uso para fazer backup de muitos arquivos pesados precisou ser no formato NTFS que é compatível com o PC. Estou fazendo o backup plugando o HD através da USB 2.0, apesar de ter percebido que no USB 3.0 é muito mais rápido, porém para não dar problema de salvar os arquivos, prefiro fazer de forma mais lenta. O produto chegou muito rápido que esperava, adiantando em 5 dias úteis para receber. Até agora não deu nenhum erro das trilhas do HD e a capacidade dele me satisfez. Mais para frente quero comprar outro igual.

      Don't be fooled .. saving your info to the 'cloud' .. is just sharing to someone else's computer.
      Save everything on your own devices and share not with who knows who's out in the aether.
      Privacy is privacy and this is how you do it.
