Seagate Ultra Touch HDD 4TB External Hard Drive - 15mm, Pebble Grey, Post-Consumer Recycled Material, 6mo Dropbox and Mylio, Rescue Services (STMA4000400)

The Seagate 2TB external hard drive comes with its own backup / restore software. The file selection criteria is very easy to set for regular or on demand backups. Only backing up the files that have changed greatly shortens the backup process. I highly recommend this drive.

Not bad. I like the security feature. Occasionally it says the memory is full and I have to unplug and replug to fix it. I don’t have to do this with another cheaper drive I have. I’m guessing it’s a glitch related to the application toolkit.

Hi, it is a good product, nice ergonomics, good to hold, but: Toolkit is an awful application, with no help, very hard to find the settings there. The second flawback is the customer support, as Mylio and the Adobe Creative cloud come with this, I chose this over other products, but it did not work with instructions written, and the support was no help, they do not help at all... Useless to write. But the storage is 2TB, and I turned off the security, as it is not cross-platform, on one device it brings the modal to write password, on another it opens empty, with no field to fill to access. That is all, but I think I could have bought other drive with same capacity with less money and the better support, quality and programs.

I havent used the tech support yet so I cant give it five stars, but the ease of use is great and the value is pretty good.

This device is fragile and poorly designed. I’ve used WD most of my life and wanted to try a different brand. Well, that didn’t go so well. Right after, (not exaggerating here) I transferred my life to this HD it fell 1 feet, onto a highly carpeted floor wheel it was in an insulated case. I plugged it back in and it started to beep - I had to send it into seagate for data recovery (thankfully I purchased)

I am using this to back up photos and video clips to relieve brain space on my Mac. Of course, I have another of a different brand as well as extra backup. I had no problems formatting and was able to start dragging & dropping files immediately. Great price for 1TB and a good solution compared to the many, many flashdrives of every high-rated brand under the sun that has failed.

I have had to go to snapshot only function to make it trustworthy. The software for the device often fails to recognize the computer when I plug it back in, the device itself had to be scanned and repaired, and it fails to properly update files when I activate it. Ive had other Seagate Drives that were OK. Im sure my experience isnt average for the device. I have about 35 years experience including college training in computers, software, and have continuously used a wide variety of programs/apps on multiple higher end computers and laptops. Some of my files are highly proprietary, valuable, and not reproducible other than from backup, so I need a fully dependable backup systems. Of course, I do multiple backups periodically, one other is an automatic system which to date, has been flawless. For me, this device is my least favorite ever. I do have a much earlier La Cie (ca 2005), same company, which has been great and still functions as a tertiary file cabinet.

Muy útil, fácil de usar y los documentos protegidos

Writing this immediately after taking the box out of the shipping package. You can see how the box looks. Cant tell if it was stepped on before or after it was put in the shipping package. The fit inside the box was tight and would have been even if the side wasnt smashed in. I can see any visual damage. Internal injuries? Will it work? Lets find out...

I just needed to free up space on my hard drive. The bundled backup software really slowed my machine down. Without it, the drives work fine as a place to put files I do not want on my own hard drive.
