Seagate 4Tb External Hard Drive Expansion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a while now, I’ve dealt with the all too common issue of just not having enough storage space on my Macbook. In particular, I have a lot of music files and Garageband files that eat up space on the SSD. This Seagate Expansion drive is great for storing all of these files. I don’t need to constantly access these files, but having this external hard drive means that I can access them when I need them and even transfer the ones I need to the SSD if I need to have them on the laptop itself, for example if I’m taking it on the go. This Seagate Expansion drive is also impressively speedy when it comes to transferring and accessing files stored on it. It doesn’t make much noise at all when it’s running, and it also looks and feels really nice so I don’t mind having it at my desk. It’s great to not have to worry about running out of space or losing my files, all thanks to this spacious and secure external hard drive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 12TB Seagate Expansion for PC is awesome! I have a gaming PC that’s been pretty slow lately, so I’ve been needing to free up space. The Seagate Expansion is an extremely spacious external hard drive that is super easy to set up. I set the expansion up as my default backup device, so now I don’t have to worry about losing my files. I’m also using it to remove and store files from my computer so that I have more space for games. I was surprised when I initially removed the drive from the box because it’s much smaller than I anticipated, which was nice. It also came with a variety of plugs that work with international outlets, so I could bring this drive with me whenever I travel abroad. Overall, I’m very pleased with this external drive.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I love having this 4TB drive in a compact size, and it's definitely my favorite external hard drive so far, writes quickly, and is super reliable. Only thing that I've noticed is that it sometimes buzzes against my desk, but if I move it that sound goes away. It definitely is quiet, but if your perception is attuned to it, you might hear it, there is also a slight vibration when you touch it, so that's probably why it buzzes occasionally when it's not flush to the surface of the desk.

I use this hard drive in an external Thermaltake USB3 dock for creating my offsite backups. The 4TB is perfect for my system configuration and the drive is fast and quiet.
