    Im currently doing a full format of this hard drive. I have the 5TB version. Ive always been a fan of Seagates portable hard drive, as Ive been using it mostly for my Xboxes (I have 3 xbox for different rooms, each with a 2TB Seagate drive). I decided to build my first ever PC in January 2020, and used this hard drive as my storage along with my m.2 ssd for my boot drive, and 1TB SATA SSD for Steam and Blizzard games. Everything was going great with this hard drive. I even used it to install most of my Xbox Game Pass games for Windows 10 as well as my content creation from photoshop to 4K videos. However, on October 2020, things got funky out of nowhere for some odd reason. Literally, I just finished filming and I was transferring a few 4K video files via my micro SD card to this drive. Ive never had issues in the past couple months, but the read and write speed was out of wack for some reason. I tried blaming my PC built since I overlocked the RAM via XMP-profile, and my hunch was that the voltage is possibly messing it up, so I resetted everything to default, but I came to find that it wasnt the cause since everything was going well even with XMP on or off except when transferring or moving files to and from this hard drive. Luckily, I have a backup 1TB SSD drive that I transferred all my majorly important files to (4K vids and photos), it was a pain staking 6 hours wait because of the continuous fluctution in transfer speed, dropping from 0kb/s to only getting up to 90mb/s. From there, I wiped out everything and am currently doing a full format in hopes that it will fix the issue. All in all, I think this is great for consoles, but not for PC or Mac.

    Doesn’t work. Maybe I just got a bum one.

    Let me preface with, I have a 2-year old windows 10 machine with 32GB RAM. The machine is configured for graphics and photos, so there is a hefty display card. When I first unpacked this drive, I plugged it into one of my USB 3.0 ports and installed the software. Right after that, I was getting mouse and keyboard lags some short and some for 10 seconds or more. Unplugged the drive, shut down the software, lags disappear. So I uninstalled the software and decided to use Windows backup. But, when I plugged the drive in again, same thing - keyboard and mouse lag (freezing up as if there was an extreme performance hit) I unplugged it from the USB 3.0 port (5 Gbps)and plugged it into the USB 3.1 port with 10 Gbps transfer speed and problem solved. Now, I have to buy a USB extension, because the one that they sent was obviously meant for a laptop and not my console machine. It is a small drive for its storage capacity - so thats good.

    I liked the first one I bought, so I bought a second one. Great for backing up data to protect against computer crashes.

    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!
