Customers are saying

Customers commend the Expansion Desktop 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive for its substantial storage capacity, ease of use, and fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds. Many appreciate its affordable price and quiet operation, along with its compact and sleek design. The drive's size is also praised for its suitability for backing up multiple systems. A minor drawback noted by some is the need for a separate power supply.

    This has been a good HD overall. I bought it to store 4k video etc. For some reason transfer rates were a bit slow. It does require an external power supply to operate.

    I have come to favor Seagate over Western Digital over the years. This drive was a great value and has been a small and steady workhorse for me. The only thing I dislike is it occasionally makes "startup sounds" which I liken to a whoosh from Star Trek or similar. But the drive is otherwise cool and quiet and has been reliable. Recommended.

    Seagate field drive

    This drive was purchased specifically to receive field-recorded 4k video and 5.1 audio for music video production. Has the capacity necessary to do a serious professional field trip to obtain backgrounds and action shots as well as ambient takes that require longer time-on-target. Have had GREAT luck in the last few years with the Seagate products.

    If you tend to back up a lot of movie files this is a great drive for that purpose. It has a very good response rate in pulling up old data and have had no issues with this after owning it for more than a year. Just make sure to hit the eject media when disconnecting it from your PC.
