    Service disappointing, drive unreliable

    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.

    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 should come with a warning . . .

    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.

    After a backup drive from another well-known manufacturer failed after only a few months, we are happy with this Seagate drive. But we had learned previously to back up alternately to TWO backup drives every day, so we didn't lose any important data.
