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

I had them before and they stop working suddenly so you never know when it is going to fail, and if it fails you loose everything.

I have switched to Seagate external drives. I use them to store my photographs and back-ups. I had 3 WD drives crash at the same time luckily I had a back up on my Seagate 5TB external drive. I would recommend this product for its durability and price. I hope you fin this review helpful.

I own several external hard drives and out of all of them only the Seagate ones have been trouble-free. They just work and keep on working. I have small form factor (2-1/2) portable USB hard drives in sizes from 1 TB to 4 TB, and theyve all given trouble free service. I love to have seagate hard drives. Also i would recommend my friends to go for seagate hard drives. It is different from other storage drives, as the speed of the drive is very unique when we compare with other drives. We can purchase with amazon anytime as it is available for all the users with good price.

Its a very good external harddrive but its storage wasnt fully 5tb but was packing some few gbs.

I have an old Seagate external drive that still works well but has limited storage capacity for my current needs. Out of the box I liked the size of the new portable 5TB drive. It was very cost effective. Unfortunately the Toolkit software they include did not work correctly with my new Dell XPS laptop running Win10. I followed the prompts exactly to get started but the backup hung with 2 min remaining and never finished. After several attempts I uninstalled the software from my laptop and reinstalled a fresh download from Seagate with the hope some bug had been fixed to no avail. After several attempts to backup it finally gave a backup complete message but the backup had skipped my most important folders containing my photos and Lightroom catalogue. I am impressed that the customer service answered my inquiry within 24 hours but the advice was to use the Windows backup software instead of their own Toolkit. No suggestion was made to trouble shoot their Toolkit software. So far an OK external drive but forget about their preloaded backup software.

Great price for the storage but I’m getting corruption errors as of day 2. Every time I use the drive, no matter which computer I use it on, I get an error saying the drive needs to be repaired. I have multiple 500GB portable drives that don’t have that issue. I’ll give it more time and provide updates.

Got a good deal on this, 5TB of storage. Hooked up to my Xbox and have had no issues. Will update review if there are any changes.

Got this as an external hard drive to replace my 4TB hard drive. Does its job well and I cannot complain. Worth every dollar and will continue to buy from this brand.

Does what its suppose to do!

Love this brand and trust if for my back-ups
