Seagate - Expansion 16TB External USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive reliable workhorse

This will be my 5th unit, and the biggest to date. Love these things.

I like that this usb drive is fast for a hard disk.

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

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.

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

Beside the hum it makes it stores everything from games to movies to art files and more not gonna lie you TECHNICALLY only get 14tb but you should be good

Wanted to wait to review, bought in november and have had no issues! Love that we now have this huge storage device and can tote it wherever we need!

excellent capacity. Easy to use. Keep all memory safe!

very affordable and reliable product for the price....it's a very good product and brand

Works fantastic, very fast, also the unit has been knocked around pretty well and it's still going.

This is great for storing my many years of items on.

It works, but it's incredibly noisy!! I'm returning this drive because I can't stand the constant rumbling. I've had several drives of this size, and none of the others have had this issue.

Very quick and speedy delivery. Had no issues with the product and am very happy with my purchase. No complaints, you guys keep doing the good work.

Seagate makes awful drives, which, while a bit cheaper than WD and the others, are not worth the savings. I will never use them again based on the recent failed drives and poor technical support. I have had only a few problems with drives; all of the ones I had that died were this brand. The most recent was awful; they don't have phone support and offer a chat with associates who are very difficult to communicate with. My problem was with a 16TB drive I had for a few weeks. Suddenly, the 10TB of video files turned into 5TB, and many files turned into 0KB for no reason. After support told me they could try and restore the drive and, if not, send me back the original, they sent me a 5TB drive with just that data on it and said it was restored. I reached out and told them the mistake. They said they would try again, and, then there was no response, and they said the lab got rid of the original drive. PLEASE don't let this happen to you.

This has been an excellent backup hard drive so far! 100gb free left on it. No issues as of yet!

High capacity device. It was a bit heavier than expected but otherwise great drive

Slightly noisy, but it's a Seagate! I always go with what has worked well for me.

enterprise-level drive on the case it's even cheaper than actually drive in the market with great speed and performance

This external hard drive is easy to use and setup is very quick.
