Seagate Expansion Desktop, 4TB, External Hard Drive, USB 3.0, 2 year Rescue Services (STKP4000402)

I have always found Seagate to be an excellent brand. I'm using this unit, essentially, as an expansion for my PC's memory. It remains attached to the computer at all times. This rather rubbishes the idea of it being portable, of course, but I COULD port it about if I wanted to. Works fine as an additional PC file storage unit; I also have a couple of programs and several games on it which I run from it on my PC, no lag, no problems; it might just as well be an internal and integral part of the PC, even though it sits on the outside in a little furry bag. When I first got it, I did use it for a bit of data transfer between machines, no problems there either. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a portable drive or a PC extension of this memory size. Quality at a decent price.

I purchased this from Amazon to help save copies of my photos and videos from my old 500GB iMac, which had lots of them and for technical reasons could not back them up via iCloud. This item from Seagate works well with Apple iMacs and other apple products so I had no issues. This hard drive can back up data from PC and laptops, but requires a bit of formatting for iMac before being used for data storage. This item has 2TB, which is more then enough for me as I had used just more then half of the storage. I had no problems with this whatsoever and it helped create a copy of each photo and video by simply selecting the file and dragging it in just as advertised and the USB 3.0 cable that comes with it is short but very effective. Glad I got this product and would recommend this or larger capacity items like 4TB if you got lots of photos, videos or other data that you do not wish to lose.

Great for storage so far had a few of them now for a few years everything is good about what you woukd expect only thing I had a gripe about which was resolved is the fact that it said 2TB but actual size is 1.81TB which I would not personally advertise as a 2TB however it does seem that everyone does this I do however think this is a bad practise that should be stopped anyway in light of that they do work and have been useful to me barely taking up any space either

The Seagate Portable drive is fairly small and powers via the USB connection, so not extra power leads are required. We are using ours to expand the memory of an XBox One-S and the compact nature of the drive means it sits neatly alongside the XBox console. The plug and play feature worked well so the XBox console recognised the drive immediately when it was added (a USB lead is included) and the XBox software went through all the formatting steps needed to set it up automatically and without a hitch. Now it's set-up and in use, it's working smoothly for game loading which doesn't seem any longer than from the main XBox hard drive.. All good so far. Will come back and take stars away if the drive fails, but for now, very happy with it.

Purchased this little gem to avoid paying £200 for the Xbox series S expansion card. I did my research on so many of these like my life depended on it and saw so many negative reviews for every expansion I came across. A lot of reviews complained that you can't play Xbox series s/x games through the hard drive itself & it's true, but don't let that put you off. All you have to do is move the Xbox series S/X game from the storage card to the xbox storage. It's as simple as that and takes less than 2 minutes to do which is far less time when compared to downloading a new game. Its worth noting that you can only play the backwards compatible games through the hard drive. So no complaints from me on this one I'm super happy with this purchase.

A great buy.

I ordered this drive exactly 1 year ago to use with my raspberry pi 3 (through a usb 2.0 connection). I've been mainly using it as an extra photo/movie/music/system backup and as such the disk is plugged in and in use 100% of the time, and I've moved at least 1.5 TB of data through in that period. The disk even survived a period of several months during which my raspberry was crashing daily (unrelated to the disk reasons) but not before issuing massive disk read/writes and I had to unplug it a dozen times (and in extension - the disk) under load, and still the disk is operating without any problems. When I first got it, I also did a couple of basic random read/write drive tests (1mb/10mb chunks if I remember correctly) on both usb 2.0 and 3.0 and the speeds seemed consistent with the usb standards and the drive specs, once I managed to find them, which was not straight forward as this is a rebranded (seagate I think) drive. Overall a decent, usable drive.

Still going strong after 2 years now I think

Un peu surpirs par la taille et surtout par le bruit quand le disque demarre et tourne...

Muito bom

Does what it does, a lot of storage and it hasn't failed me yet. Worth a buy when it's on sale.

Ottimo prodotto. Affidabile, veloce e piccolo. Top 🔝

Ya tengo bastante tiempo con este producto y es fantástico en relación calidad precio. Tiene 14 Tb de almacenamiento y no ha fallado nunca. Le queda muchísimo espacio. Es ideal para tener un equipo de cómputo libre de archivos. Lo mejor es que sea para un lugar fijo.
