Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8TB External Hard Drive Desktop HDD – USB 3.0, 2 USB Ports, for Computer Desktop Workstation PC Laptop, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography (STEL8000100)

Already got one and it works just as well

great product

Reasonably fast delivery, seeing as it has to go through customs before it can be tracked. It comes with a US style 100-240V integrated power adapter/plug.. so you need a US (to whatever) adapter, NOT supplied. Penny pinching from Amazon when you consider a plug is going to set you back only c.1Eu but; but if you dont have one available its a pain.

Seems like a good value drive, Has USB 3 support... Dissapointed that it comes with a US style PSU "plug" without any adapters for other countries... it is common place now a days to supply a power unit with a universal mounting system and several adapters.. it would not have cost much more, and for a product this expensive is a drop in the ocean

Just bought this in the UK and as it was advertised on the UK site I was expecting a dual power supply but what I got was a US model. Of no use to me unless I bought a new power supply negating the saving I made. I would not recommend buying this as the issue with the power plus the route and delays necessary to return it if there are any issues means the savings are just not worth the hassle. Avoid.

No English plug included, so the Hard Drive is useless for UK! Spoke to Seagate but did not get anywhere, so returned the product

Bought the 4TB drive in April 21, failed in June 22 after only 1100 power on hours. This drive was glacially slow since day one, never exceeding about 30Mps and sometimes slowing to 1 or 2Mps for no apparent reason. I was using it for its intended purpose as a backup drive so outright speed wasn’t much of an issue but it was still disappointing for a USB3 device working from a USB3 port. The bigger problem was that the drive failed without any warning midway through a backup when the backup program reported that the “Target device does not exist”. Sure enough Drive E: had vanished. I ran Seagate SeaTools and CrystalDiskInfo, both of which announced that the drive had failed with a Reallocated Sectors Count error. Online wisdom was that such an error cannot be recovered from, so I started Amazon’s return process (2 year warranty fortunately) and am currently waiting for the drive to be collected by a courier. I’m hoping for a replacement drive and I’ll edit this once the process is complete. As things stand I could not possibly recommend that anyone buys this drive.

I am using this Seagage backup of my photos and library. It works GREAT! I am very happy with my purchase,

Ótima velocidade para passar as imagens. Pra uso profissional, um tamanho excelente, fácil de usar. Recomendo

I purchased 8TB drive 14 months ago for purpose of it being attached to NAS for a differential backups. NAS recognized it in a breeze, only issue NAS has is that it can not let the drive into sleep mode. I realized this after two months of continuous run on this poor desktop aimed harddrive inside its neat piano black enclosure with convenience of expanding your USB3.0 ports to additional two. Fortunately, the constant strain onto this non-workstation drive havent had any impacts whatsoever. It remains to be superbly quiet while being amazingly fast with a limit of 151MB/s I have noticed on desktop while backing up from local SSDs. May not seem too impressive compared to SATA3 speed limits or SSD drives speeds but considering its a single HDD with its capacity platters and quietness, this is rather impressive, especially comparing my old 1TB usb2.0 Drive which is slower than one 6th of this drives performance. Spin-up is lengthy but the drive supports sleep mode while a source its plugged into via USB cable is turned off and I would say power on spin up time sacrifice is a great feature vs shorter drive life. Once its booted its access time is snappy, may take couple of seconds at most but then again, this is a mechanical drive which does well also in this regard. Best feature is the front USB HUB, and If I knew I will once buy this drive, I would save 30 bucks by skipping the purchase of 4 port USB3.0 hub that also needs power adapter. This drives front hub suffices my needs for USB3.0 ports by itself and places them right where I need it to be next to external optical drive and a card reader separated from the desktop case into a furniture piece with opening for what I call a media peripherals cabinet, it is very convenient just for this matter itself as I hide the wiring clutter in the back of it and all looks neat and tidy. If you keep the drive exposed, you may also like the breathing style logo LED backlight while its at works. When in standby, it just stays lit and isnt intrusively bright. Software-wise, the drive comes pre-loaded with a small application that will forward your web browser to seagate web site regarded to registration of particular product that could be skipped and still provided you with utilities: Toolkit - free of charge for your desktop backups being done once, daily, weekly, monthly, atm or differential backup. RescueData - could be downloaded for a charge and sadly, this utility is not free. Theres a fame that Seagate drives are defective and dont last long, yet I have never had an issue with Maxtor nor Seagate drives since late 90's. Actually It was Western Digital that gave me issues on three different drives. I have 2 seagate IronWolf drives in NAS and are running 24/7 and report healthy with 0 errors for the past year and a half or so. I strongly advise you, dont give on others reviews bashing this brand, seagate honors warranties and wont try to steal your money as some state. This honest company does not need to damage its name. In pc world its just fan war between the brands just like consoles flame wars go about PS vs Xbox, so do the PC spheres go Intel vs AMD, Nvidia vs AMD, Seagate vs WD where in reality, all the products perform about the same and only winner is who throws a better competing price tag onto their product. You are not getting damaged, or 50% less performing product, those who try to tell you that, are completely out of the picture. I dont even believe their said experience with DOA drives, unless they play football with them, place them next to 300WATT speakers magnets, plug and unplug usb or power cord while the drive is being accessed at the very moment pretending its hot-swappable and expect everything to be fine. Of course it wont, nor would it be okay with any brand HDD or SSD. NOTE! 8TB drive, as of Feb. 2020 has a wrong price. Its only 50cents cheaper than 10TB version, whilst I purchased this over a year ago for 149.99 - this needs a FIX do not buy 8TB Drive for more than US$150! UPDATE: Soon it'll be 4 years of daily use with backups set once a week, rather occasional write of random files ranging from single kB up to well over a GB, numerous daily accesses. Still snappy & quiet, performs just like on Day 1 and as excpected, CHKDSK report in provided screenshot confirmed theres 0 bad sectors. What more to state than this drive is phenomenal? Only that I truly feel sorry for unhappy owners of this flawless drive. Since my purchase in Dec of '18 price went up 22 dollars and STILL holds lowest price tag for 8TB external drive with added bonus in form of USB hub other brand drives lack, just cant beat it for the price and considering purchase of another one.

J'ai acheté ce disque dur pour étendre le stockage de mes films et séries, il me restait un port usb libre sur mon routeur. Je l'ai utilisé sous Windows 10 pour transférer mes fichiers, le taux de transfert est très bon dans l'ensemble, avec quelques petites baisses de débit par moment, mais rien de gênant. Il émet un léger bruit, mais c'est la ventilation pour la surchauffe. Le raccordement à mon routeur n'a posé aucun problème, tout fonctionne parfaitement.

El precio fue lo mejor de todo, comparándolo con otros discos duros, este de acuerdo a su capacidad y calidad le lleva mucha ventaja a los demás, excelente tamaño compacto, se apaga solo si no se esta usando y puedes guardar miles de archivos en el. Quedo muy satisfecho.
