I use this drive for backup. The backup runs overnight and unattended. Everything was going fine for a couple of weeks, and then my backup failed. The drive had become entirely invisible to my system. It has a light on the top, which was blinking in a distinct pattern. I removed the USB cable and power-cycled the drive.
The drive woke up, but it was blinking in a different distinct pattern.
I contacted Seagate. After an afternoon chatting with them, they assured me that this was normal. I know that's incorrect. I sit next to the drive, and I would have noticed if it were blinking. I have other Seagate drives, and none of them blink. This particular drive has stopped blinking and seems back to normal.
Since they are convinced this is normal, I gave up.
If I had it to do again, I'd buy another brand.

Bought 1/14/2022 to use with my brand new all in one pc. It was delivered 1/19/2022. Worked well until about a week ago. Now it does not show up in file manager. But does show up in device manager. It is makes noises and clicks when disconnected. Tried using on 4 different computers with same issues purchased recommended replacement power adapter and cable still doesnt work. I will be contacting seagate to see what can be done. Ridiculous that it quit working not even 6 months after purchase. I cant believe i lost 200-300gbs of important data because of this hdd

I love it. I use it a lot for my photos and personal information. It scans for antivirus about anything to make sure no virus when it will ask you if you want. Nice! I will order more later in the future. :)

Drive comes with an exFAT format, so can be swapped to Mac or PC. I did not know that, so I did not initialize or format the drive to be NTFS for use only with PC before loading several terabytes of data which took most of a 24-hour day. Computer will not boot with the drive connected as Win 10 is somehow recognizing it as a boot drive. Many hours have been spent trying to correct this problem. Can connect the drive after booting or restarting and it works as intended. Very inconvenient.
