Works great. It adds extra memory when you need it most.

The drive developed a loud clicking noise about 8 months after the purchase. I sent a video of the problem to Seagate and based on that they determined that the drive was faulty and that it can go down any minute. They organized a replacement. They do not offer data recovery as part of the Warranty. It took me two days to back up the drive constantly praying that it does not crap out before I finish. Lucky me it did not. Now they will send me another one - refurbished most probably but the warranty does not restart. I purchased about 20 hard drives in the last 20 years this is the 2nd one that died on me. Coincidentally the other one was also a Seagate drive.

This is easily the slowest drive I've ever owned. Good for cold storage, not for active use. I tried to get an idea of how much space a directory was using and gave up after half an hour, when it had counted 250GB and was still going.

I bought this to back up my computer in an external case. After I'd backed up about 5 TB of stuff the drive stopped responding. I tried moving it to another case, connecting it to another computer, and still no response (it is no longer seen), but placing another hard drive into the same cases show no problem. I would return the drive except it is full of non-encrypted personal data (including financial stuff).
