I have used the 8 TB size of their drives for years. These 6TB size are useful when the 8's are unavailable. When I travel, the 6TB size is fine for saving and backing up at my location. Later transfer to the 8TB bank when I return and weather keeps me indoors. My work and leisure involve being in many different environments shooting photos and video up to 4K. Outdoor hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing and diving... Florida's underwater cave systems, rivers, springs and and ocean bays and reefs. I seldom go outdoors without a camera. My diving always has me wearing a camera on my mask. I shoot tourism related events and have accumulated terabytes of photos and video over the decades. As editing software has improved I've found that formerly unusable photos and video now can be brought back to life. This includes WWII era movies converted to video, then enhancing that video to be sharper than the original. I have been using these hard drives for storing raw media, edited and produced videos for my use and client use since these first came out. I now have twelve drives with power strips that allow me to toggle them individually on and off and all connected in two 7-input powered USB hubs that then connect to my working laptop in two USB 3.0 ports. So I am constantly saving media backups and backups of backups. I do it manually. Not religiously enough. But I'm always balancing my adventuring time outdoors and my editing time indoors to weather, seasons and travel. Every time I return from the field, I immediately save raw imagery to the drives, leaving the files on the camera media until I review and backup the hard drive.

I got this Seaate 6 TB usb hard disk to backup our households data laptop computer image files ETC. What nice is that while you have plug the drive into a USB port. This model drive has built in 2 port usb hub on the front which means means whiles you are working with the drive in one usb port you may also use the ports on the front to seamlessly pass power and data from two additional usb devices. If you have usb 3.0 it passes the usb 3.0 fuction through the hub.I tested this with a blu ray drive and 2nd USB 3.0 drive connected to the hub and all ran fine using only one usb port on my PC. This drive does require ac power from the wall. Great decive would buy it again.

You don't realize just how much storage this actually is until you get your hands on it! This is perfect for my photography business! Helps by being able to store my photo editing software here instead of my computer, so my computer isn't being slowed down! But the best part is the 2 USB ports in the front of the drive! GENUIS!!! Hands down best design for a hard drive out there!
