Good product, but it's 1.81 TB, not 2!

Where did the other 19 GB go??
19 GB is a lot of space, I paid for 2 TB, and that's what I expected, at least close would be good...but 19 bloody GB!?.
Apart from that, it's a very good product.

Win 10 Does Not Recognize Drive

Reviewed in Australia on 4 November 2018

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

Win 10 does not recognise drive on the computer I bought it for, though it is recognised by other computerss. Every other external drive including Verbatim, WD etc is recognised by my computer. Tried everything to remedy it, including re-formatting to no avail. The apps on the Seagate website also do not work on this drive.

Bought this for my PS4 PRO, and it started out fine. Downloaded everything easy enough or so I thought. Every game I have installed on it has been corrupted.
This all happened within 3 days, I can not recommend this at all.

Handy USB backup hard drive

Reviewed in Australia on 1 December 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

Love these drives, great value for money. Set them up with Veeam Agent Free (don't bother with the Seagate software) to have an up to date whole system backup that you can easily restore to the same computer or a brand new one.

Unfortunately Seagate make the 1TB drive unaffordable by making it so similar in price to 2TB that you pretty much have to buy the 2TB.

This is the industry standard and I wish someone would produce a 1TB for half the price of 2TB as sometimes you just want a backup drive for a 256GB SSD laptop and 2TB is not required.

Works well with Xbox One

Reviewed in Australia on 22 May 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

I bought this to use on an Xbox One. I was concerned with the sound coming from the Xbox One (original) and wanted to move my games and saved games to external drive incase the Xbox One failed. The setup was easy and the games play great from the drive. I don’t have to worry about losing my saved games when I transfer to a new Xbox.

Reviewed in Australia on 16 August 2019

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

Small, lightweight and reasonably fast. Does tend to heat up if plugged in for long periods of time (whole day). But still functions well. Overall a good storage device for media files with plex and other media centres, If your device has the ability to turn of power to the USB ports when it sleeps. (latest shield tv update supports this feature)

ALWAYS buy RETAIL packaged drives.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2019

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

This review is for the 4TB Expansion Drive (with the 'diamond square cut' plastic case).

Great compact enclosures. I would suggest putting on some small rubber 'feet' on the base to lift it up and allow any heat to dissipate more freely. The HDD is easily powered by the supplied USB cable. I have had two other Seagate Expansion drives running for almost 4 years with no problems.
Please remember, just because these (or any other) portable HDD's are 'portable' doesn't mean that they should still be moved or knocked around too much. Always handle with care if you're carrying it from one location to another to prolong its longevity.

If you're purchasing this drive to use as the manufacturer intended (as an external USB HDD), then it gets 5/5 stars and you need read no further.
_______________________

If you're looking for a 2.5" HDD to use inside a laptop, in a Disk Array enclosure, inside a PS4, or other 'internal' device, then read on...
This 'Expansion' drive can easily be opened up to remove the actual Hard Drive inside.
And it's a far cheaper option than buying a bare 4tb 2.5" HDD.

I purchased two of these 4TB drives to use in a 2.5" RAID enclosure.
[Please Note: The 4TB HDD is 15mm thick. Lower capacities are variably thinner. Always check the max bay height of the device you are thinking of inserting the HDD into].

The HDD can be removed from it's plastic casing by gently prising away the top lid (which is clipped in). Some of the clips WILL break, but if you're careful, the plastic casing can still be clipped back together again and reused (if you need to). Once inside, gently lift up the drive (it's only slotted in place by 4 silicone screw covers), then slide out and peel off the sticky silver foil on the connector end. Make sure you peel off the foil on both sides of the drive. The USB/SATA connector can then be gently pulled off. You will also need to remove the 4 side holding screws to enable you to slot it in and secure it to your new bay location.

The end result is that you now have a Seagate Barracuda 4TB drive, exactly the same as you would if you bought a loose ('bare') Seagate drive. The main advantage being - that you've just saved about 30-50% of the cost compared to buying an identical "bare" internal 4TB Barracuda HDD on Amazon!

What are the disadvantages? You've likely voided the warranty.
BUT, before you shoot off elsewhere thinking the warranty factor is a deal-breaker, consider the following two points:

1) If you're buying a bare HDD (no matter what capacity) you should NOT be buying it off of Amazon if its being 'SOLD' or 'DISPATCHED' by Amazon - especially those that come without any retail packaging.
Hard Disk Drives are sensitive little things and don't take very well to being mishandled or knocked about. Amazon packaging staff DO NOT know how to handle or package Hard Drives - this is not some off-the-wall claim, BELIEVE me, it's highly substantiated! Despite Amazon having complaints on this subject stretching back over the last 8+ years, and despite always promising to correct things, Amazon are still today sending out hard drives in insufficient packaging.

The majority of Hard Disk Drive failures that people report and complain about were caused because of how they were handled before they got to you (not the manufacturer's fault) - and if you've purchased one that's been 'handled' by Amazon - you're playing a gambling game of roulette! By the time you receive that drive in your hands, it's possibly been rattled around more times than an ice cube inside a cocktail shaker. Is it really any wonder why you see so many 1 and 2 star reviews (irrespective of brand)?

2) A lot of bare Hard Disk Drives being sold on Amazon (especially those that are 'competitively priced') are actually sold without a manufacturers warranty anyway.
They were either imported from somewhere where the Warranty is not valid. If your drive doesn't fail on arrival (or shortly afterwards), you will never know this unless you attempt to register it. Or because they are surplus drives that were originally intended for use inside an external enclosure (such as these 'Expansion' ones being sold above) -there are actual reports and reviews that Seagate have informed customers of this fact.
And even if your drive does come with a warranty - if the drive fails, it's only going to cover an exchange. You will need to return the failed drive (most likely at your cost) and the warranty will not cover any data recovery. Meaning that essentially, once you send it back to get a replacement, you will never be getting the chance again to have your lost data back.
_______________________

My final advice is, be aware of the 'handling' risks in buying HDD's from Amazon. And if doing so, ALWAYS buy RETAIL packaged drives. REJECT EVERYTHING ELSE.

If you choose to accept this mission....then, good for you!.... This message will not self-destruct in 10 seconds... although it seems Amazon have obliterated the comments on all reviews!

Broke after 3 months and lost all my files

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2018

Capacity: 4TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

I have had this hard drive since May. I trusted seagate and I made sure I always ejected the hard drive after using it. Recently, it broke for no reason and it won’t display on my computer and all my files are gone. The hard drive won’t even show up in disk management. I’m very upset as I had important videos and photos on there (around 2tb). Is they’re any chance I could be refunded as the hard drive is broken. Is there any chance I could get my files back? Very disappointed.

I bought this for storing a back up of my work (years of teaching lessons from year 7 to 13. Used it 4 times and then it stopped working. Seagate offered to replace it through guarantee but I'd have to pay £600+ to get my data restored.

What a scam! Build crap discs & sell them for £60 & then charge folk £600 (x 10 times cost) to get your crucial data back. Foolproof business plan. BEWARE!

It Has Got Some Space !

Reviewed in India on 12 October 2018

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: External Hard DriveVerified Purchase

I bought this 2Tb hard disk on one of the Amazon shopping festival for about ₹5000. It was great deal since its usually a bit higher than this. Well about the hardrive , Have been using it for around 3 months now , Haven't had any issues so far. It has got moderate tranfer speed around 30 to 40 Mps. It produces a bit of noise which you won't even notice. I'd definitely recommend this.👍
P.S : A Protection case would be good.

Worked Fine For just over a month, could be a little noisy at times (vibration from HDD) Then failed without warning
not recognised on either PC or MAC and HDD just spins up, ticks twice then spins down.
Very disappointed as this was bought following good reviews and I was relying on it for continuous backup.
