    I purchased this to keep a back up of my other tb hard drives. I started copying over the first hard drive and this Seagate disconnected and reconnected. I started the backup again.. and the same thing .. disconnected.. I changed cables to from a WD 4tb block hard drive that Ive used for 2yrs now and know it works. All I get now from the Seagate is tick.. tick.. tick.. and I don't even have to wind it.. the hard drive failed, quit.. no longer accessible .. going with a WD brick hd instead of a portable.. Bah

    It is noticed by my Hopper DVR at times. Somewhat frustrating to say the least. Thinking of calling Seagate again and getting another one snd transferring the shows from the current one to another.

    I’m using it as storage for games and every time I bump the chord or the hard drive it disconnects. It’s very annoying.

    I lost 17 years worth of teaching material on this device. I was also not given a refund for it even though I had total tech support. Very disappointing.

    Didn’t last 6 months before it stopped working. This is the second one I’ve had that has left me in a bind after a short time.
