Review: Hard drive 4TB - The Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive is a great option if you need a lot of extra storage without spending a fortune. It’s compact, easy to set up, and connects through USB 3.0, making it convenient for backing up photos, videos, documents, and other large files. Real-world testing of similar Seagate 4TB portable HDDs has shown roughly 100+ MB/s read/write performance, which is plenty for everyday backups and file transfers. What I like most is how simple it is to use—plug it in, and you can start transferring files. The 4TB capacity gives you plenty of room to consolidate files without constantly worrying about running out of space. The biggest downside is that it’s an HDD rather than an SSD, so it won’t be as fast or as resistant to drops as a portable SSD. I’d also recommend keeping important files backed up in more than one location rather than relying on a single external drive. Overall: 5/5 ⭐ — excellent storage capacity, easy to use, portable, and a practical choice for everyday backups and extra storage. Review: Good Quality and it Works Fine with a MacBook Pro - As a music producer, my last external drive was much smaller and it began to fill up quickly. I bought this Seagate because of the known quality, and the size. I understand that with a Windows computer, it’s plug and play. If you use a MacBook Pro, it is a simple task to prepare it. I’ll copy instructions for Mac preparation. It was ready to go in about a minute. It’s not something to worry about. Here are the instructions: First an easy installation, you’ll use Disk Utility on the Mac to erase and reformat the drive; it’s straightforward and only needs to be done once before you start using it. 1. Decide on a format For a drive used only with your MacBook Pro for plugins/projects: APFS (best for SSDs, modern macOS, fast and robust). If you also want to plug the same drive into Windows regularly: ExFAT (works read/write on both Mac and Windows, fine for large audio files). 2. Erase and format the drive Connect the new external drive to your Mac. Open Disk Utility (Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility). In the menu bar, choose View → Show All Devices so you see the whole physical disk, not just volumes. In the left sidebar, select the top-level entry for that external drive (it will usually show the manufacturer’s name and “Media”). Click the Erase button at the top. In the dialog: Name: Something like “Audio Plugins” or “Samples”. Format: Choose APFS (or ExFAT if you need Mac/Windows). Scheme: Choose GUID Partition Map if offered. Click Erase and wait for it to complete, then click Done. After this, the drive will mount on the desktop in the new format and you can start moving plugin content or sample libraries to it. It took time to move data off the old drive and load onto the new drive. That’s natural. With this new Seagate drive, I store all my music plug-ins and virtual instrument files along with a large collection of audio and midi files. When producing music, there’s no delay and everything works fine. With that said, I have the new M4 chip and 48GB of Ram. With that, the computer works fine, but the Seagate also keeps up just fine. This Seagate external drive was a good purchase. It is reliable, portable and built well with a good appearance. ## Features - Easily store and access 4TB of content on the go with the Seagate Portable Drive, a USB external hard drive.Specific uses: Personal - Designed to work with Windows or Mac computers, this external hard drive makes backup a snap just drag and drop - To get set up, connect the portable hard drive to a computer for automatic recognition no software required - This USB drive provides plug and play simplicity with the included 18 inch USB 3.0 cable - The available storage capacity may vary. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CRGSR16 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | Seagate | | Built-In Media | Seagate Portable Drive 4TB USB3.0 | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 4 TB | | Color | PORTABLE | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Sony PlayStation 4 | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 273,311 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 120 megabits_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 4 TB | | Enclosure Material | Mechanical Hard Drive Material | | Form Factor | Portable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00763649127315 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 | | Hard-Drive Size | 4 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | Plug In | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 4.61"L x 3.15"W x 0.79"Th | | Item Length | 11.7 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Xbox, & PS4 (STGX4000400) | | Item Weight | 260 g | | Item Width | 8 centimeters | | Manufacturer | Seagate | | Media Speed | 1 | | Mfr Part Number | STGX4000400 | | Model Name | SRD0NF1 | | Model Number | STGX4000400 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 120 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | business, personal | | UPC | 763649127315 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seagate - **Color:** PORTABLE - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 4 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation Type:** Plug In - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0, 1-Year Rescue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41OUh0ZU1NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many hours of music can this hold** A: Depends on format, sampling, bitrate. I've got 818 songs at standard 44 KHz and 128 kbps totaling 3144 minutes and 2.81 GB which comes out to 0.89 MB/minute. I've also got 430 songs at 192 kbps totaling 1595 minutes and 2.13 GB which is 1.34 MB/minute (which is also what you get ratioing 0.89 by 192 / 128 so the numbers jibe). If your songs are typical 128 kbps stereo quality, and average 4 minutes each, then (using the 0.89 MB/minute figure) each TB will hold roughly: 1,000,000 MB / 0.89 MB/min / 60 min/hr = about 18,700 hours ==> over EIGHTEEN THOUSAND HOURS OF MP3 FOR JUST ONE (1) TB. Even if all your songs are 24-bit 44 KHz WAV originals at 15 MB/minute, you'd still be able to store: 0.89/15 x 18,000 = over 1,000 hours of WAV for each TB. Suffice to say if you're saving only MP3s you probably won't run out of space, as the others have stated. **Q: Can you use this for PS4?** A: I had this hard drive for awhile as a spare backup drive in my PC. I plugged it into the front port of my PS4 and instantly gained 4TB of space. It requires no extra power source, the PS4 will format it and you can play games on it just the same as installing to your HDD inside the PS4. I don't notice any speed issues on my PRO, it runs the same speed. It's perfect to stop you from having to shuffle games off and on the limited 1TB in the system. **Q: What is the warranty? i can't find any info on it at seagate except that there isn't a warranty via seagate based on the serial number i entered.** A: One year's warranty is b.s. I've had mine for less than one year and it's already died. Can't get it covered because the damned thing is made in Thailand and the serial numbers are smudged so they can't ID it as mine, thus it's not covered. Aholes. DO NOT get a Seagate. Customer service is shi'ite. Whatever you do get extend the warranty as long as possible, and back up your back up. **Q: Usb 2.0. Support ?** A: Seagate is certainly sending mixed messages with the supplied information on this item’s page. In the “Details” section, it states for ‘Hard Disk Interface’, USB 3.0 is what’s required. Next, under the “From the Manufacturer” section, ‘Compatibility’ is now claimed to be USB 3.0/2.0. Once again, under “Other Technical Details”, the ‘Hard Disk Interface’ lists USB 3.0 as the required connection. Finally, if you open the ‘User Manual’ (PDF) under “Product Guides and Documents” and go to section 2 under “Contents” (page 5) you will find the following highlighted: “You can connect your Seagate device to a USB-C port on your computer. The USB-C port must support USB 3.0 or higher. A USB micro-B to USB-C cable is not included with this device.” Suddenly, you must now have USB-C to use this product. That’s odd, because I didn’t recall seeing USB-C mentioned once in the product description. Seagate: Get your act together. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard drive 4TB *by S***� on August 20, 2026* The Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive is a great option if you need a lot of extra storage without spending a fortune.
