Review: Competent Mac-compatible hard drive for both original data and backups. - I use a large external hard drive for two purposes: ordinary backup and to keep my very large ripped CD collection of music for which my main computer disc simply doesn't have room. The large size allows backups with multiple versions so I can go back in time if I need to. Belts and braces, an old school idea. My previous drive died suddenly and this was the best cost/size value I could find from a reputable vendor. In the past, I have had trouble with Seagate drives on my various Mac's, but this one worked immediately without a single problem. It is now handling all the relevant backups (there are several including some cloud stuff) and my music. It is quiet and, so far as I can tell, faster than the drive it replaced. It also seems to be interfering far less in other devices and their operations than the old drive did. That may be, however, because the old drive was complaining about being ill before it died completely and this new one is just being "normally" competent. I gave it 5 stars because it is doing what it is supposed to do without causing any trouble. Assuming it doesn't die a week from now, then it was a good buy. Do remember to reformat away from exFAT before using it on a Mac.
Review: It works well for me, for now atl. - Great, for local storage either networked or not. Recommend replacing their garbage usb cable that comes with it (cable matters makes a good one). Pretty silent under low operation, speed is usb. Lifespan with seagate is hit or miss. I’ve had drives from them last a couple days and I’ve had drives last nearly a decade so hardware gambling. Wouldn’t recommend anything sensitive going on it, if it dies it’s gone. I use mine paired with a local caching machine for windows and steam updates. (Games too) it runs on the network via that “server” and as I learned when dealing with mechanical drives, don’t put stuff on it you can’t afford to lose. Was getting 460ish MB/s average read and 390ish MB/s write with your peaks and dips associated with HDD madness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good drives, if you use them as intended.
*by T***Y on July 11, 2026*

Large size DataSafe! I have 3 of these (Two from Amazon, one from a brick and mortar) in the 22TB form for data backup, which seems to be what they're designed to be. A piece of advice from a data hoarder: Always have 3 backups of your data, one offsite. I have ~20TB of media and other data that I need to keep safe and purchased these before the price went crazy. Two I have on site and keep them up to date, backing up monthly or if there's a big change, and the other one I update bi-annually that lives in a safety deposit box at the bank and rotate every six months. To me, the data I have is priceless. If the price comes down I'll definitely buy another one in a size or two larger just because losing all my data gives me the heebie jeebies, it gives room to grow, and I'd just put that one away long term. These drives, to me, seem to be designed as somewhere you put your important data, put the drive back in the box, and only open it again when you're backing up, or when the unthinkable happens and you need to rebuild a hefty NAS, and for that, they're phenomenal. It doesn't seem to be designed as a constant use drive as some here are using it for. Unit comes with a somewhat cheesy USB to MicroB, which is... short but adequate. Buy one of the near bulletproof braided metal covered cables and toss that into the box for long term storage and forget about it. Additionally it has power adaptors for just about every possible and unpossible power solution, so if you need to take a backup to shores unknown, from downtown Anyplace Earth, you can set it up anywhere, do your file transfer, put it back in the box, and be happy. Stay DataSafe!
