    Works great, might not have a USB-C connector, but the price is definitely worth it.

    Good bang for buck if you have a little more financial wiggle room. Slightly bulky, but that is to be expected. Housing build quality feels a little less solid compared to previous generations. But ultimately we care about the hardware inside.

    Good hard drive

    This is a good hard drive that delivers on its advertised space — it's close enough to 14 terabytes — but it does create quite a bit of noise if placed on a hard surface. Putting a small plush washcloth or towel underneath it helps dampen the noise. Also, if using with Plex, it takes a few seconds to spin up from its "sleep" state, which can make Plex run a little slower compared to streaming services. That said, it works fine for me.

    Seagate Expansion External Hard Drive

    I have relied on Seagate devices to store my precious data. So, when I needed more space to back up my primary drives, getting a new Seagate external memory was a no brainer. At 16T it easily backs up the primary drives for photos and data with lots of room to grow. I've never had to use their "data recovery" but always nice to know it is there if needed. Performance has been as expected.

    Overall, this is exactly what I expected, and it works well. I have it hooked up to an Intel N85-based mini PC that I am using as an inexpensive and low-power NAS setup. My only real complaint is that I wish that it had a USB-C jack in the back instead of the double-lobed micro-USB jack. Other than that, no complaints at all.

    Bought this on sale in November 2024 to shuck the drive and put it into my NAS PC. It had a white label Seagate Exos x16 enterprise drive inside the enclosure. Your mileage may vary.
