    My fave drive for storing and running my music production files on. Only negative is that sometimes for no reason the drive unmounts by itself.

    Took a while to understand the software but once I resolved how the backup worked I was OK. I have not had to use the restore function yet.

    4TB model hard to use

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had a Seagate Backup Plus of 1TB for a couple of years back (1D8APB-500 1TB) and it has been a good experience. That's why I bought this 4TB model. But it was a disappointment. 1) You'll have to install additional Paragon NTFS software to make it work with Mac. (The 1TB model I got just worked) 2) copying speed is about half of that of the 1TB model. 3) I'll need to wait for over 5 minutes for the disk to unmount.

    I am always a fan of Seagate drives and this one being 4TB for the price it is, is a wonderful thing. I am using this one on a desktop machine so I don't need to have the 2.5" version but I chose this one because it is simply a good price for the convenience of it. Good and fast too. Enjoying it very much.

    Needed a second 4TB external hard drive as a double back up and this one is great so far. I like that it gets it's power through the USB and doesn't need an extra power cable. It works just fine and it still works with my USB 2 as well.

    I was looking for an additional external hard drive to extend my xbox capacity. And I have searched through the internet I found this would be the best option. Also, the best price from best buy.
