Seagate Expansion Desktop 16TB, External Hard Drive, USB 3.0, Data Rescue Services (STKP16000400)

Works great and is very easy to set up. Quite noisy and you can feel the ticks within my desk. You have to use the enclosed PSU (not a generic 12v HDD PSU) because it uses a lot more power than other HDD's, but of course, 26TB means you can give away all those old units! The PSU comes with a variety of pin adaptors for every plug on the planet, including EU, UK, Oz and US. I have purchased this purely to backup my main file server and store it off site. To initially copy 21TB took about 30 hours and once initially copied, the weekly update takes about 15 mins, so quite nifty and perfect for my application. I personally, would not use this as a permanently connected drive, its a bit too big, noisy and clunky (and of course 26TB is way beyond a USB connection!), a built in drive is better for speed, power, ventilation, vibration proofing etc. and this drive is probably the ultimate for being able to transport that data in a safe secure manner. You will need something with lots of memory to connect to it because chances are that 26TB of data will probably be over a million files! Make sure windows is set to 'Not indexed' and your anti virus scanner is configured to 'not check' when connected because something this large in capacity takes hours not minutes (and my PC is 5.6 Ghz, 32G RAM so no slouch!)

Firstly, the HDD cleared customs in approx. 8 hours, and arrived a day early, happily. It reads/writes at approx 40MB/s MAX, averaging around 35 to transfer a lengthy media file, in the 8TB Version, which has 7.27 TB of usable file space on it. Its not too big, the plastic case had a film on it, and the wires are adequate to sit at the PC or TV. It was plug and play with no need to format or worry about getting the HDD recognized by the system. It is easy to carry and move and would fit in most carry cases. Its jet black and moderately shiny and has an LED built in above the power port on top to show its active. I'm confident this drive should last me 10 years or more and will be a fantastic addition to my digital library. I played a UHD 4K video and it operated at a peak of 10%, mostly negligible usage. Although its not the fastest HDD you can get, I consider this very good value for money and a high quality product. You can plug this in your TV and play videos or music easily enough since its not USB powered which is a nice bonus.

A solid HDD drive with a massive storage space. I've been buying Seagate HDD's for a long time and they have never failed me. I trust the brand and this purchase was no different. Easy to use, just plug and play and the drive is pre-formatted in NTFS. The write speeds are solid at 100-150 MB / Second and the read speeds are quite good too. Have a number of 4K resolution videos and ton's of photos which I have stored on the drive and experienced no lag in reading them from the drive.

It arrived fast , out of the box, plugged and started without any problems but I ordered 6tb device . But it is actually 5.45 tb . I understand that may be the balance taken up for it's software but if I knew that I would have bought 2 x 4tb my passport ,which they are much smaller and no need for power supply, much portable and less noisy. Disappointed with the storage capacity, early days just used it for one day so far. I didn't want to send it back because had already started using it . It would have been nice to have a travel case of some sort. I must say ,so far so good . I bought Seagate because already have a 4tb, which I have had for 7 years and it is now full.

This is now my 6th High storage hard drive from Seagate. I have had them when they first started with the 8TB then the 12TB, 14TB and again with the 16TB so this 20TB or 18.1TB after format, was the way to go because my 14TB drive has all my videos on and they need a backup. I know a lot of reviews say this does about 120-135MBs (note) I have learnt that if you are transfering a lot of data, point a standard home fan on hard drive to keep it cool and it will transfer at it's fullest for me that is 210-235MBs. I have just moved 1TB in hour and a half and am in the process of moving 8TB of video and it is hovering between 215 and 235MBs with the fan pointed at it and it is saying it should take about 11 and a half hours. Which sounds bad but is very fast. See Screen Shots! (this will change if any of the drives start to over heat) yes i could use a NAS but I started with these and it would cost a lot more to change now. So if you need high storage for videos or photos like RAW photos, these drives have lasted me years, i have some 2TB ones that are over 10 years old now. Also, it comes with different electrical connectors for if you go on holidays. Nice to have the option. Very sturdy build, easy to setup, i usually register them, then reformat to NTFS, sometimes you'll get a free photoshop package for a set period of time.

Achei o produto excelente pois formatou em NTFS (veio formatado como exFAT); como uso para fazer backup de muitos arquivos pesados precisou ser no formato NTFS que é compatível com o PC. Estou fazendo o backup plugando o HD através da USB 2.0, apesar de ter percebido que no USB 3.0 é muito mais rápido, porém para não dar problema de salvar os arquivos, prefiro fazer de forma mais lenta. O produto chegou muito rápido que esperava, adiantando em 5 dias úteis para receber. Até agora não deu nenhum erro das trilhas do HD e a capacidade dele me satisfez. Mais para frente quero comprar outro igual.

Don't be fooled .. saving your info to the 'cloud' .. is just sharing to someone else's computer. Save everything on your own devices and share not with who knows who's out in the aether. Privacy is privacy and this is how you do it.

External usb hard drive, works exactly as advertised.

Great service and so far a perfectly extra storage backup hard drive....it is perfect for all my photos. The seller was amazing.......my item arrivede earlier than expected..it I would order again!

Jag begär levererans till ett upphämtningsställe av Amazon, ändå försöker man leverera till hemadressen. Det går inte eftersom det krävs nyckel för att komma in i porten. Alternativt försöker man att leverera med "Airmee" eller liknande. Jag vill själv välja när jag ska hämta paketet - inte sitta hemma och vänta på att det eventuellt ska komma och passa dom på gatan, för dom hör inte av sig när dom försöker leverera.
