Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I think this hard drive is great these seem to be the standard for high capacity desktop hard drives and bought the 24 TB and have had no issues I will update soon if anything changes

so far, so good - great price for a massive 24TB external hard drive, though is a bit early to tell for a storage device like this (will update this review if any problems in the future). files have been easy to transfer onto the drive, and after 2 months, haven't experienced any issues. think the main fear with any hard drive would be data corruption/loss over time, so it'll be interesting to see what these reviews look like in a few years' time - in the meantime, this drive does exactly what it says on the tin.

I purchased two of these. The first one I opened has been running just fine for months (9). The second one had to be returned and replaced after just 5 days of use. It just quit working and was no longer recognized. Tried it on multiple systems with the same result. Best Buy replaced it thanks to my Best Buy Total Plus membership and I was just backing up to it when this happened. So I don't know if this was just a one off fluke or not. I would suggest any new buyer give it a run with non-important data for a week or two before trusting it. 24TB is a lot of data.

Works great, fast with lots of storage and runs quiet

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

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

These drives work well. They have. fast transfer speed and they're reliable,

Absolu.\nTely love this item , best investment I ever made highly recommend

I have several small Seagate portable hard drives and never had a problem with them. I purchased the Seagate 24TB for all my files to back up several times a week. I haven't had any issues and only heard it wind once at the very beginning of connecting to my Apple Mac mini. No noise in the background since!

So far so good! I ran CrystalDisk and other utilities' quick tests and it's all good. Incredible price at Best Buy, well below $15/TB, tax included, and quick delivery. I have not done what would be a very lengthy deep surface scan of the disk, and I do note the absence of ports for other USB devices, which other external hard disk 'hubs' often have.

Not quite as fast as i had hoped. Generate a lot of heat. Ive read the nice business class drives have been replaced with consumer models. A quick set of tools has confirmed this is a simple barracuda drive and not a enterprise class drive. This change seems to have happened around rhe new year

Very large capacity external USB drive. Use if for backup, especially photos and videos that quickly fill up your computer's internal drive.

Good price for a lot of storage. I use it for a raid array backup. Seagate provides an excellent warranty service. I know this because a drive in my array failed and Seagate backed it up with free data recovery but I opted for a drive replacement without data recovery.

Man that's a lot of storage. One of the best $ / TB on the market

Sturdy, not too big and lots of storage! Wish it was USB 3.1, but not a bad price!

Pretty Good Data rates for a HDD. Doesnt take up Space. Very Quite.

As a data hoarder, the Seagate Expansion 24TB is my new go-to for archiving my ever-growing media hoard

MASSIVE storage for all your photos, music, favorite movies and more! Responsive and secure!

Works great! Great value for the money. Just plug it in and it immediately shows up as an additional drive in windows. I saw several reviews that talked about the drive being very loud. That has not been my experience. I've copied over 20TB of data to this drive and I hardly know it is running.
