Customer Ratings & Reviews

Large size, pretty quiet operation, seems fast. I bought this to back up my NAS, as my old USB hard drive had gotten too small to back up the data. This Seagate is big enough to back up everything on my NAS and I have plenty of room for growth.

Hard drive comes with the expected storage minus the 1tb or so. It is faster than other hard drives, but it does fluctuate a lot in speed. had a range from 45mb-550mb. Most of the time it is quiet, every now and then it would make a slight noise, such as when it is reactivated from sleep mode, or new files are being transferred or added to que.

Great storage capacity for backups. Not as noisy as others have indicated though maybe I am used to noise generated by mechanical hard drives. Hope it stays as reliable as my 14 TB drive a purchased several years ago.

I purchased this to backup my UHD media files. I have a 32 TB Synology server, it gives me just over 20TB of protected storage. I added a 16TB RaidBox via USB and loaded all of my UHD files on it. Concerned with no backup in the event of the RaidBox failing, I pulled the trigger on this 24TB Expansion drive. Once I backed up all my files, I unplugged it and set it on a shelf. As I add more UHD media to my collection, I will continue to add the files to the backup. All things considered, I am very pleased with the drive. It is fast, but it does get quite warm.

Great terabyte to price ratio but it is a bit loud and a bit slow to start. Overall good buy

Its a good product so far, great amount of space, it just takes my computer a few extra moments to think about switching from my desktop space to looking through its space. Nothing longer than a minute at most, so not bad at all, i feel as though its likely fixable but Im not even bothered enough to try

Great amount of storage for a reasonable price. I use mine for long term backups for my dvd and blue ray collection.

A little more compact compared to traditional external drives. Good design for cooling & relatively quiet. The USB3 cable included was 36" in length (product description often states 18"), which worked well for my needs.

I’m a content creator hoarding 8 K footage, and this behemoth finally stopped my “scratch‑disk shuffle.” Large‑file copies average 220 MB/s sustained over USB 3.0; a full 4 TB project dump finished overnight with bandwidth to spare. The drive is nearly silent—fan noise from my PC masks it entirely. Seagate’s Rescue Data Recovery was the clincher; knowing professional recovery is covered for three years lets me sleep at night. Wish the enclosure had a USB‑C port for future‑proofing, but the included 18‑inch Type‑A cable is sturdy. Perfect bulk storage for Plex, Time Machine, or cold archives.

For those thay really need the space, this IS the drive for you. Nice and quiet and sooo much room to store pictures, videos and anything else you might not want on your laptop or tower. A must have.

Awesome external hard drive to back-up my computers. It's amazing how well it works despite of managing large amounts of data, I recommend this product if you need to store large amounts of data because it is not that big.

My company produces movies, and this drive is perfect for holding all of the raw footage from our cameras.

Bought this for my computer for watching dvds. Works great and is fairly quiet

Works great and surprisingly fast! Love the large capacity!

It was a good price. The amount of TB is really good. Although it showed about 2 TB less than it should have. That seems a lot space taken up for other things. I will recheck on this later.

Works well with no problems. The price per byte is hard to beat. Not as fast as a solid state version, but for the price and the space it's plenty fast.

A huge amount of storage for about $12 per terabyte. Anthing less than $15 per terabyte is a good buy. Drive works as advertised,

Great Price for huge storage. Reasonably fast for a spinning drive. Cheaper than buying the drive inside it outright.

So far so good. Although when it turns on, it makes little noise which does not happen to other hdd I purchased

Got a good deal on this, great for backup storage.
