Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Works great. Is very quiet most of the time. You can hear when it is writing to disk, but it's intermittent- for me, only a couple of times per day, since I use it for backup. Excellent for peace of mind as my backup disk for Time Machine on Mac.

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

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.

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.

Works as intended to backup large media files for Plex. Read and write speeds average about 220 MB/s, good enough to get the job done. Has been reliable so far, would buy it again.

Im not sure why the low rating but these are a great value. I cant say how long they will last but you get huge capacities and performance that youd expect in a non SSD platform.

I haven’t used it extensively yet. I upgraded it to back up an aging Seagate 4TB and files from other locations. So far, it has performed as advertised. Read/write speeds are as expected, and during several GB and/or TB transfers, it didn’t feel excessively hot or loud. However, it does feel and look a bit cheap for the price. If that means more storage for a smaller case, I’m fine with it.

Wonderfully large hard drive. I was able to back up everything from decades onto one hard drive. I noticed that the transfer speed was much better than what I've been used to. Definitely worth the value!

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 have bought hard-drives throughout the years and usually expensive for 4TB to 8TB ranging over $100 to over $200. This purchase was a 24TB and under $300. The prices was amazing. The product is amazing. I put my games on this hard drive and the games run smooth with high frame rates. Im happy with my purchase and definitely recommend it to everyone

Works great and surprisingly fast! Love the large capacity!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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