    26TB is insane! Super easy to set up (literally plug it in and go), and it’s fast for transferring big files. Perfect for backing up all my stuff and storing my media collection with tons of room to spare. Definitely worth it if you need a ton of space.

    Cant ever have enough space. This thing works beautifully and fuctions up to all listed specs. Catching this on sale was an immediate purchase. Seagate from my experience has been the best for HDDs.

    Honestly, they're cheaper than normal internal drives. $250 for 26tb is a steal. Extremely. Fast, even in Windows Storage Spaces. I bought 4 of these at the price, and have 205tb of storage now.

    I cant not believe how much storage this drive contains, I use it to store mainly photos and when backing up my fikes I then store it away in a fire proof safe,

    So far so good with no issues. This is a great price for such a large capacity. The 26TB only has 23TB of actual storage, but for the price it still beats the competition and has a great look to it.

    I'm retired now, I use this device for my Body of work. As a Writer/Performer, that work is extensive. So far so good. This is one of the cheapest insurance policies you will ever buy.

    It holds a lot of stuff. But, it is very slow to wake up and be usable. I would recommend this for users who want to archive a lot of data. Don't get this if you need rapid data access or for gaming use.

    When deploying, you need as much space as possible. This hard drive is highly recommended due to its great transfer speed, silent operation, and ample storage for everything.

    Use this to back up my digital photo and video collection from the past 15 years. Good speed. Really large drive that allows me to backup multiple hard drives on my PC onto 1 for off-site storage. Very pleased so far.

    Kinda slow file transfers, sort of loud. But with the 26TB space, and in an all in one storage unit. I love it. Easy yo setup. And just drag and drop file transfers.

    The 26TB Seagate Expansion is a powerhouse for massive data hoarding and archiving, offering an unmatched cost-per-terabyte value. While its speeds are typical for a mechanical hard drive, and its desktop form factor limits portability, it is an excellent and affordable choice for local, high-capacity backups and media libraries.

    Works well. But there is a little access delay after the drive isn't used for a while. But does work quickly after drive wakes up.
