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

great hard drive..great memory 5 gigs and super fast shipping

This is my 4th Seagate. I’ve only one issue with them before as far as losing files. This time it is a different issue. I noticed after awhile that my Mac book would say it was disconnected without ejecting first. Each time I checked, it was still plugged in and I could see it was connected on my Mac book. Then I it started happening more and more. Now I can barely get it to connect at all. Sometimes the cord entirely slips outside of the port. I have tried several cords and it is all the same. So I assume the port is too loose. It is only 2 months old at this point. I’ll be asking for a replacement.

I bought this back in 2019 and for the past year or so, its been having connection issues more often. Ill be replacing this with a different external hard drive.

Ive had good results with Seagate drives before and this seems to be just as reliable. It may be of interest to some people that it is a third the size of my other 5TB drives... My new iMac has no problems with it; I dont use some of the supplemental software that came with the drive. The device works with the USB 3.0 hub I bought recently, which is a real plus as some of my other drives wont. It is as fast as Id hoped, moving large files quickly; I make archival-quality photo scans of 50MB and it effortlessly moves folders crammed with images. Based on results at this point, Id say it is exactly what I was looking for.

3 yrs in with infrequent backups to this drive (6 times) and it’s already throwing corrupted block errors… avoid

Exactly what I needed. Love the portability.

Went from a 2 tb external and a 1tb internal hard drive for xbox games to just this.

Its quiet, small and works perfectly!

i use these for archiving client products for video productions i do for clients, to save room on my working external hard drives. never had any issues with performance. you get good value for the money.

Great price for the storage but I’m getting corruption errors as of day 2. Every time I use the drive, no matter which computer I use it on, I get an error saying the drive needs to be repaired. I have multiple 500GB portable drives that don’t have that issue. I’ll give it more time and provide updates.
