Seagate Portable Drive 4TB, External Hard Drive, Dark Grey, for PC Laptop and Mac, Data Rescue Services, Amazon Exclusive (STGX4000400)

No issues with this external HDD - I wanted to make sure all my files were transferred over properlt from my old computer to my new onez and having 2TB was more than enough for me to backup what was necessary. Files transferred and copied quickly without much issue, and stores them well. Definitely worth the money and will hopefully last me years from now!

Slightly bigger than a playing-card, thinner than a pencil, this is an admirably neat design. I went straight away for a format, in case it had buggy Micro$haft stuff on it. I used a live Mint DVD to partition the drive into a 1GB EFI partition, a 50GB ext4 partition for operating system(s), a 1.76TB ext4 storage area and a small swap partition to match my RAM. Everything worked first time. Then I installed Linux Mint 22.2 Zara on the 50GB partition. So, if my main drive fails, my system can boot to a situation that makes recovery possible. Enormous value for money.

works really good.Good price.The speed is a bit on the slow side.

HAVENT HARD DRIVES COME A LONG WAY? MY OLD HD WAS 2TB, IT WAS 17X11X3 CM ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BOOK AND MAINS POWERED.THE NEW SEGATE DRIVE WAS 11X8X1CM, SMALLER THAN AN OLD IPHONE! ITWAS POWERED BY THE USB PORT LIKE A MEMORY STICK. IT WONT FORMAT IN MS-DOS(FAT). FAT WHICH MEANS IT WILL PLAY ON MOST TVS. Due to its size. I used journaled. It doesn’t matter as long as the memory stick you use in the tv is formatted in FAT. Just download films onto stick from 5TB hard drive. I’ve OVER 500 FILMS WHICH IT REPRODUCES PERFECTLY. VERY VERY CHUFFED WITH THIS NEW BIT OF KIT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SELLER AND PRODUCT.I ACCIDENTALLY ORDERED A 1TB FIRST BUT MY OLD HD WAS 2TB, SO I SENT IT BACK AND ORDERED A 2TB FROM THE SAME SUPPIER. THEY REFUNDED ME IN FULL IMMEDIATELY . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SELLER AND PRODUCT.

I'm pleased with this TB storage amazing I can restore and store all my memories pictures and videos easy to use and compatible with my laptop highly recommended

seagate have great reliability. this is an ideal back-up storage unit. probably not designed for portable use but ideal when your computer hard-drive is running out of space or your need extra storage. good quality

I ordered this item (the 6GB version) on the 3rd of July 2025 in order to move a large number of files I did not have room for on my laptop, and which were causing it to slow down, but that I wanted to keep. Today is the 3rd of September, just two months later, and I have switched on my laptop to find it not only frozen, but when I did finally get into it, various changes I did not make myself to my laptop, and this hard drive beeping and disappeared from my laptop, along with all of the files stored on it.So this hard drive is about as much use as a chocolate donkey, as far as keeping your files safe, and storing them externally. It also apparently makes changes to your devices, without your consent, and without your knowledge. I had various items and files stored on my desktop, including a screensaver, which have also completely disappeared, which were in no way connected to this hard drive, and were stored on my laptop itself.There is zero reason for any of this to happen. The hard drive has just been sitting on my desk the entire time, and there were zero error messages and nothing has changed. It just suddenly started beeping today, and on switching on my laptop I found it frozen and the desktop altered and files missing. There are no help screens, error messages and no way to access it to actually find out what has occurred either, so super helpful.I have already got my money back, but that's not really the point is it, the point is that I have lost all of my files, as have others, and that this product cannot be trusted for its one job. Literally its one job, and not even over the ridiculously short period of two months, and it's not as though this product is cheap either. If you cannot trust it, then it defeats the object of having it.If you're looking for a completely useless piece of black plastic, that wastes your time, energy and money, loses your files, makes changes to your laptop/computer without your knowledge or permission and costs you more than it is worth, I highly recommend this piece of rubbish.
