Solid drive with lots of international power adapters which I didn't need. Been running 24/7 and no issues

So far So good. I've had a Seagate die on me before but I took a chance on this one. Not the quickest on speed but definitely not the worst. I will probably buy a bigger one come Black Friday.

Works well, good size hard drive without breaking the bank, only one complaint for unknown reason I have to unplug drive when system boots or it will hang up and not finish boot up, Works fine when I plug it in after bootup.

Great backup external hard drive. The only concern is it makes a lot of squeaks, scratches and noises that has made me concerned about whether it was a lemon. However, apparently that's normal and there are no other issues with the device.

I love this drive. I bought 2 of them after my WD 8TB drive died and I resolved to not let that happen again. Now I use the second 16TB drive as a mirror for the first.
I still can't figure out how to keep it from going to sleep, but that may be a Windows problem.

I have been using this external hard drive mainly to store my media content. It's very easy to use and it's also very quiet. I have not had a problem with it.

Good overall product but it sometimes causes windows to not respond or do so slowly as it seems to have some standby mode.

Bought it to enter storage for my media collection, outta the box it come with everything even outlets for different countries which surprised me. Build quality from the old drive have I would save has improved a lot. Drive a little bit loud if everything is quiet but barley noticable. 9/10

The large capacity will make worrying about the future of all my stored info irrelevant. Installation was very easy.

Tons of space and it is very fast in copying/accessing files. Also sleek and, although it does make some noise when it's being accessed, it's pretty quiet.

Read fine but writing to the drive is very unreliable. Only a 3-week window for return/exchange with BB so they drive has gone back to Seagate for replacement.
I was very surprised and disappointed at the poor performance, I've been using Seagate drove for nearly 30 years and have always had very good results. How this is a one-off and not a reflection of the current level of quality from Seagate

Seagate drives offer the best dependable storage for pictures. Best Buy is one of tbe few stores where you can get one.
