Customer Ratings & Reviews

Large capacity, but a bit loud. I genuinely thought the drive was having contact issues while I was writing data to it. But it checks out on all tests (so far) and performs well. I'm currently using it as a temporary backup for my digital media library while I build out a solution with some redundancy.

The 26TB capacity is great, there's more than enough room for high-resolution photos, 4K video projects, and full system backups without having to juggle multiple smaller drives. Despite the high capacity, the drive is surprisingly quiet while running, and the USB 3.0 speeds make file transfers efficient and steady.

Works fine with no issue. I have up loaded a large amount of information and still have additional space.

good as a cheap storage but it's slow, if using it as streaming storage be prepared to wait 40 sec every time you open a media file. It's loud and make my desk tremble. The transfer speed is OK I did transfer 20TB in about 16 hours. Does not come with USB-C and it's labeled for a Mac!!

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.

Excellent value for the money, as purchased the HDD on sale. Hopefully, the Seagate 26TB will serve as a reliable storage archive.

Large storage drive. Runs a little loud in a quiet room.

Rock solid and reliable as expected from Seagate. The only possible negative is the data transfer speed, after working for several years now with SSDs a mechanical drive feels very slow. But with 26T of storage it's hard to argue the price point on this unit. Great external storage for infrequently used files.

Works as intended. I've been using it as an archive. It moves data around fairly quickly for a mechanical drive of thos size. My only gripe is that it doesn't use a USB A-C connection but the archaic USB 3.0 Standard A for the drive. Other than that, it's fantastic.

As an external hd the expansion line has some of the best value per terabyte or of any company. Mine have been running a couple months and no complaints. Running two of them.

Solid HD, excellent value when deep discounted, great for video/photo storage especially in pairs for BU purposes

Lots of Terabytes means buying a new HDD less frequently. Buy three of these to make your own redundant backup system and you are good to go!!!

So far so good, its a bot noisy bit works well for the moment

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.

It Works Great ! The day it was delivered to my house it was packaged the way it should be packaged no holes or dents. Easy to set up and worked straight out of the box no problems at all.

Bought 2 of these to shuck and use in my server. Inside is a seagate barracuda 7200 rpm drive. Kind of what i was expecting but i thought i would review here so it would keep anyone else from guessing.

This behemoth has become home to my backed up DVDs and Blu-Rays for a Plex Media Server and is great. Only thing close to an issue I have is that because I have my Mac Mini spin down inactive disks it makes an ugly spin-up noise when first seeking for content. Otherwise the fan and operation are quiet enough to have in a media room.

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 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,

Works as intended and is simple to use. Just makes a loud (somewhat violent) noise every few minutes when it’s plugged in.
