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

While all hard drives fail at some point, Seagate drives fail with enough annoying frequency for me to not recommend this drive at all. The Seegate warranty is robust and the returns are accepted and replacement drives are sent back. No problem there. But the failure rate within the warranty period is quite regular. I already backup to redundant external drives. But it is indeed inconvenient to have to backup large volumes of data over again. Do not buy.

I love the simplicity of this device. Plug and play is the way to go, no extra power cords required.

I was about to return my new Seagate 5TB External Hard Drive, but before I did, I had called Amazon for support and they connected right away with a rep from Seagate and because I am using both a Mac and Window, they were able to help me to configure my Seagate 5TB External Hard Drive to handle both. Thank you Amazon and tank you Seagate.

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

Simply plug in and play. 3 years and counting this device still working. Planning to buy it again.

Due to the size of this device can back-up my entire computer and have the ability to store pictures and other files just in case there is a problem with my main computer. Piece of mind.

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

This hard drive is compact and has an impressive amount of storage. Runs quietly and transfers files fast.

I bought the external HDD last black Friday, great deal 89.99. But...... At first, it seemed to work fine, it came with one exFAT partition, macOS recognized the partition, but I could not eject the disk, so I reformatted, then the problems started. I made 3 partitions, one exFAT, one ext4 and one for Mac. Nowadays just one of the 3 partitions is recognizable OSX, one in windows. My fix: Low-level format again and 4 TB of data transfer. Not recommended.

It’s working awesome.
