Seagate STHP5000400 Backup Plus 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD - Black USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 1 Year MylioCreate, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography, 2-Year Rescue Service

The drive is very compact, very portable.

I bought this device as my old one was almost full. While is saw many good reviews about it, I also saw some not so good ones. My old external hard drive was the same Seagate brand 500G and worked perfectly, never had a problem so I decided to buy the same brand; BIG MISTAKE!! This was troublesome from the word go. It froze my computer, which popped up a blue screen and automatically restarted. Thankfully I didnt lose any info. I then registered the product to see if it would help. Then tried to copy some old videos to it but it took sooooooo long! When it finally finished, some of the videos wouldnt start and some werent copied. I didnt waste time, I returned it immediately. Ill buy another brand.

I own several external hard drives and out of all of them only the Seagate ones have been trouble-free. They just work and keep on working. I have small form factor (2-1/2) portable USB hard drives in sizes from 1 TB to 4 TB, and theyve all given trouble free service. I love to have seagate hard drives. Also i would recommend my friends to go for seagate hard drives. It is different from other storage drives, as the speed of the drive is very unique when we compare with other drives. We can purchase with amazon anytime as it is available for all the users with good price.

This is awesome! It’s a common issue for me to have not enough space on my consoles so as I got a new system I didn’t want to feel limited in space. This is the biggest external hard drive I have. These aren’t readily available where I live so to get this is a real good thing. I’ve been downloading so much cool games and it’s still not even halfway full. That’s what I like. Thanks so much! Will buy from you all in the future!

I have an old Seagate external drive that still works well but has limited storage capacity for my current needs. Out of the box I liked the size of the new portable 5TB drive. It was very cost effective. Unfortunately the Toolkit software they include did not work correctly with my new Dell XPS laptop running Win10. I followed the prompts exactly to get started but the backup hung with 2 min remaining and never finished. After several attempts I uninstalled the software from my laptop and reinstalled a fresh download from Seagate with the hope some bug had been fixed to no avail. After several attempts to backup it finally gave a backup complete message but the backup had skipped my most important folders containing my photos and Lightroom catalogue. I am impressed that the customer service answered my inquiry within 24 hours but the advice was to use the Windows backup software instead of their own Toolkit. No suggestion was made to trouble shoot their Toolkit software. So far an OK external drive but forget about their preloaded backup software.

A whopping 130 MBs top speed... Nice storage capicity for the price tho!

works extremely well.

I have had exemplary service from this drive although I do not expect data recovery under the limited warranty nor do I expect a spinning drive (not SSD) to transfer data live a supercomputer. I am a simple person needing simple reliability for simple backups of my simple laptop and desktop. Something to grab in case of fire or hide incase of theft. EZ-PZ. If the third round of economic incentive checks ever materializes I ma buy two more and set up my NAS box. Wouldnt THAT be cool? Yep Yep Yep.

I am super happy with this external HDD, works perfectly and the shipping was really fast. Definitely i will buy it again soon.

Love the item. Was as described
