Seagate Backup Plus Portable 4TB External Hard Drive HDD – Black USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 1 Year Myliocreate, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography, 2-year Rescue Service (STHP4000400)

I already have 2 of these in use to back up my computer hard drive. One is already full and I like multiple backups, so I purchased another. This model has worked so well for me.

So glad I got this bad boy on sale. Its pretty compact for 4TB, data transfer is fast, and it feels solid and safe that any potential falls (why would I drop it? who knows) or heat wont really bother it.

Its first rate, quiet, metal modern look, the case has a light textured metal mat covering. It looks great and quiet.

The design is cool, but somehow there is a big noise when saving, and there isnt a type-C cable.

so i bought this as a used item since i wasnt going to pass up 4TB at $65 and figured since it was going to be a game drive, reliability wasnt really a concern for my use. unfortunately, it started acting up during the first hours of use. it would disconnect randomly and, worst of all, the drive would hang. it would register as being in 100% use, and it would prevent all reading and writing which stopped downloads, or actually froze the game because it could no longer load assets. so i proceeded to break open the casing and then install the drive into my pc with normal sata connection thinking the problems were caused by sata to usb adapter. turns out the drive itself (and not the connector) was causing the hanging issues. however, its been about two months and it seems it only did it for a week or two and now seems to run just fine. but between the disconnects and the drive hanging, i can definitely see why it was a return item

After formatting for my ps4 i remained with about 3.6tb out of the 4. Enough Space still to store tons of games. Noticed no depletion in load ups etc. Works great

Ive been using computers for a few decades and learned my lesson. I always use Seagate hard drives now.

This backup drive offers a lot of storage at a reasonable price.

it takes time to set up on a MAC

Works well and has plenty of backup capacity. I have two of them and keep one of them offsite, alternating my backups between the two external hard drives. They are compatible with my M1 MacBook Air computer.
