Seagate Expansion Desktop 10TB External Hard Drive HDD - USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and 3-Year Rescue Services (STEB10000400)

Nice product

It's highly unusual that Amazon clubs the entire product stack into one review. Which means if you buy a 10TB and a 16TB, you can still only post one review. Extremely strange.Anyway I've already reviewed the 16TB version back in January, and the full text of that review is below this one. I purchased the updated 10TB unit in the new chassis. Unlike the picture, the logo is static and does not glow. The indicator light is now a small white dot instead of the soft blue light from earlier. The 2.5" drives use the same LED, so it makes sense for Seagate to use the same part.The chassis is heavily vented, unlike the earlier, mostly closed-off design. This is a welcome change but also allows for much more dust ingress. Small insects can also comfortably enter and breed. Speeds are good, probably because of the 4-platter (?) design. It is close enough to the 16TB to comfortably recommend it, even though a 5- or 6-platter unit would be a little quicker.I've posted the R/W speeds for this drive (the 16TB was already heavily reviewed so I didn't bother). I also have the hub version of the 10TB unit that's been in service for two years now and that is a little slower. Would really recommend using an aftermarket cable as Seagate supplies very poor quality USB cable that normally is the first part to fail. The 3.0 micro-B type connector is part of the problem, they should have switched to C long ago or retained the larger form factor B type, which is infinitely more reliable.For Linux, the GPT table shows up corrupted and need to be fixed with gdisk. As expected, you get a bit over 9TB of formatted space (HDD manufacturers are allowed to use B but it's actually b, so you've to divide by 1.024 every thousand).There is every sort of plug you would want - an unnecessary expense and a lot of unusable plastic. Given that the 16TB cost about 26k when I got it, this is considerably lower value but after Chia and with the Chinese power crisis, prices aren't going to drop soon.===============================================================================This is the original 16TB review:It's a very noisy drive, and not very portable. As a long-term archive it's unmatched, and the very fast transfer speeds from the Exos drive within make it far less tedious to fill than most other drives.The shipped USB cable will die in a few months because Seagate supplies a piece of string with all their external drives, so when it looks your drive is dying it's probably the cable.The seek noise and detection time is awful. Enterprise drives like the Exos are not designed to be turned off and noise is irrelevant in those applications, so while you get the very good speeds and assumed reliability, you also get the noise and heat that these drives produce.The controller does shut the drive off in accordance with your power management settings, so that's something. I will probably invest in another one soon, these are particularly good value when they're below 25k.

Excellent harddrive. But need to handle with care. If it falls down from a computer table height, the hard drive inside can get damaged and cause drive to corrupt. It has happened with the 4Tb Verizon of the same drive I had. So handle with care.

Good

Good quality security I am storing the datas full in this

I have bought it recently and so far i love the product. It is definitely useful and easy to set up.Many users using the default file system will be able to use it as soon as they plug the device in the system.Yes this a powered hard disk meaning, you will need a power source. It will not work if there is no power. I use it only with my desktop hence it is not a issue for me.In terms of portability, it can be carried along with you.The build is nice and strong.The design is unique and looks nice.It is extremely silent compared to other external large storage devices i have used. The transfer speed is decently fast.The default storage capacity is 3.6 TB that could have been a bit larger however, a great overall product to have if needed extra storage.

The media could not be loaded.  I need it because I am doing editing so I buy it but for me too expensive and price taken is too high price should be around 4k to 5k only because performance is very poor according to given description. 😅 Overall my reviews is 3 out 5 only .

The Seagate Expansion Desktop 4TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, is extremely good and the various advantages and disadvantages are given belowAdvantages1) Since this is powered by externally, the changes of corruption is less. Additionally it gives you the option to use this for expanding other storage devices as well2) It has the best value for money where 4 TB was given at around 6500 Rs during the Republic day sale3) The data transfer speeds are really good, I was able to transfer around 500 GB in less than 4 hrs, at around 34 Gbps, that is good transfer on an USB 2.0 port4) Form factor is 3.5 and the design is good with lots of cooling port.Disadvantages1) None that i can think off, will have to use it for a longer period.

Adoro os HDs externos da Seagate ^^

Bom custo x benefício, embora a portabilidade deixe a desejar e o ruído pode por vezes assustar.

We bought to add storage for our PS4 and worked perfect (I am sure will also work with PS5). With external power (best for running games) it works perfect, there is no difference with the internal PS4 memory. Great price, excellent performance

Eu só acho que já deveria vir formatado para ser usado diretamente em Blue Rays, e não só em um computador. Um ponto negativo do aparelho é que ele não tem 10 TB disponíveis. São 9,09 TB efetivos. 1 TB foi "esperdiçado", então, com sistema operacional e etc.

Ho messo 5 stelle su tutto perché è arrivato con due gg di anticipo sulla data prevista, imballo perfetto, non necessita di formattazione iniziale (già formattato in NTFS), ha risposto subito alle aspettative, tant'è che ne ho preso un secondo dopo una settimana di prova!
