External Hard Disk 4Tb Seagate

I just added the WD 4TB Elements External Desktop Hard Disk Drive to my� back up solution (6 hard drives) and Windows 10.� I disconnected the power and USB cable from a full WD hard drive and replaced it with this new drive and fired it up. It works great, just like I would expect from Western Digital.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive HDD really impressed me. It's a great way to store my files. It is made with a durable metal enclosure, so it's protected from bumps and drops. It is so easy to transfer files to and from my desktop. I like how small and portable this product is. I can take it with me wherever I go.

This is the best external hard disk by far on the market today. Don't bother with Seagate, this is the one to get and BH PhotoVideo is the place to get it!

I'm using this Seagate 8TB drive in a dual external bay, next to my Seagate 4TB to backup the backup of my photos and music. It's quiet even when writing, and it backs up my photos at approximately 145MB per second. I also use it as a scratch disc when using Photoshop. It goes to sleep after about 20 minutes of non-use, as it should, and takes about 10-15 seconds to wake up.

The hard drive in my Dell 620 (Seagate ST31000524AS) was failing ... causing slow operation and repeatedly throwing reports of disk errors, bad sectors, etc. despite my attempts at repair using a variety of programs. After finally getting a successful disk image from the original drive using Macrium Reflect, I swapped the drives and loaded the disk image onto this replacement. On restart my PC booted right up from this drive and it's been running like new since.

I am a biased user when it comes to hard disks and use only Seagate manufactured units. Both the 4TB and the 7200 rpm 2TB, 3.5 versions have performed well. These two units was my first 3.5 purchase since the appearance of laptops, other purchased units were 2.5, replaceable for internal drive if needed. The price of the 3.5 4TB unit, for an external drive, was why I did not buy a more expensive 2.5 drive. Mind you I do miss the performance of the old 2.5 models with 4 GB of solid state cache; not seen in the catalog recently.

At first I was skeptical with the dimensions that my Seagate 2TB External Hard Drive would fit into this case. I called the store and the gentleman assured me it would. So, I got it. This case provides the protection I need to carry my External Hard Drive from one location to another and with the hard-shell design, I can have confidence that my external hard drive will function when I plug it in to my laptop.

Seagate did as advertised. It was truly plug and play, with no reformatting, hard disk erasures, or special apps. Whether one is not inclined to do extra operations ,or maybe not prepared, Seagate solves our problems. Great product.

This is my favorite external disk now!

Purchased this to transfer photos from another WD 4TB external hard drive as a backup.
