Disappointed in this product and support I purchased this to be a backup device for my laptop, I used it for a few months with no issues backed up files and used the drive without any problems Using my usb3 port and getting good transfer speeds, then decided to finally start to transfer approx 600 gigabytes of data using a cut and paste method in windows 10, it was going fine for approx 45 minutes and then seemed to stall, thinking this was normal I left it alone after leaving it for about 4 hours i went back to remove the drive and noticed that it was still sitting at the same file location. So as you guessed all the files that were transferred and all the existing data on the 2 TB drive has been completely lost worst part the website for support gives no real utilities to check the drive, was stuck with the basic windows check disk and it reported the drive needed repair and scan, and also that did not work. As for seagate website they have an option basically the same cost of the drive to send it in and try to recover the lost data. Needless to say it is not worth the money as I still have older backups on older USB ext drives. Now comes the hard part dealing with Seagate to get a replacement without the receipt. Crashed After 9 Months Worked great until it didn't. Started beeping after 9 months and could not access backup data.
Got RMA number to return it. Was then told it would be replaced with a refurbished unit (probably an industry standard process but still unacceptable). Also had to courier it to the repair center even though I drive right past it for work. Decided to not send it in.
Not worth the risk of my personal data for the cost of a backup drive. Might have decided differently if I could have wiped the data. Wonder how often this happens and how it fits into their business model. Works fine after 14 months Wonder why others would say it's so bad? I got mine in 2016 boxing day sale. Been working fine since then. My tech-savvy friend advised me not to use the built-in auto-back up or anything came pre-installed.
Took his advice and only used for storing data from HD. USB 3 was very fast and backed up full 1 TB HD in less than 30 minutes. Videos were faster than other smaller files like pics and docs. Overall I would've given it 5 stars if not my friend's caution. May be I was lucky to get a good one? What a piece of garbage I received a Seagate Slim 2 TB at Christmas as a gift.
When I went to use it it did not work. After about 10 e-mails back and forth to Seagate with them trying to determine how to get it to work they determined that the product was defective straight from their manufacturing plant. What great quality control. I then had to ship the product to Seagate packed in a specific way with the knowledge that I was not going to get a new hard drive but a refurbished one. Meaning somebody else's new broken one that was repaired.
I also had to pay the shipping cost to send it back even though it was defective from the factory. Now the refurbished hard drive that I received does not work and Seagate wants to charge me to speak to to a technician to resolve the issues. Therefore good luck to any of you that buy this product as it is trash only and so is the way that Seagate treats their customers. Great PS4 Upgrade So I bought this hard drive for my PlayStation 4. Granted I did not use it as and external hard drive.
I instead pryed it open (which was only a bit tricky because there was a light seal underneath) and I removed the 2.5' drive and put and replace my original ps4 hard drive with it. The ps4 allows 1.77tb accessible as a side note.
This is the best price I have seen for a 2.5' 2tb hard drive I have seen so far and I really do recommend it if your upgrading your ps4 or you just need some external storage. Stopped working This hard drive was modified to be usable for both mac and windows and worked fine for about a month. Then out of no where wouldn't plug up to my mac computer. Nothing was readable.
Then tried again couple weeks later then could view them but put nothing else on it or take it off on my mac computer. This is the second seagate hard drive I purchased which has done this and only way to fix them is to get everything off of it and re-format it, But I've also done research and apparently if you use it on both mac and windows comps this is com'mon and can keep happening:(. Good Deal When On Sale Bought two of these.
So far they seem to be running fine. My only complaint to date is that these require USB power and so will not run reliably when connected to a keyboard on an iMac. This is fine as many devices have the same limitation, but they show a message about low power. The problem I had with these drives is that no error was displayed about low power. When I started backing up files the copy would progress for several minutes and then fail with a strange message about drive errors. I thought I had a bad drive, but before requesting an RMA I plugged it into a different computer (directly) and the backups completed without errors. I then went back to the iMac and plugged it directly in and it has been running without problems since then.
