Seagate 6TB Backup Plus USB 3.0 External Hard Drive with USB Hub
Nice backup drive
I bought it as by yearly backup drive for video projects. The speed is OK as backup drive (over 110 MB/s).Working well and not big noise. Highly recommend the product.

Works great
Was easy to setup and partition on my Mac. Doesn't make much noise and the logo LED isn't too bothersome. So far it's been solid and transfer rates line up with what the advertised specs. Great desktop backup solution. Highly recommend.

Neat
It's a thicc external hard drive that requires you to plug it into a wall to use. If it could run off phantom, I'd be amazed, but it still kind of sucks that you need to plug it in. I entirely understand. Four stars because I haven't had it long enough to really judge how well it can hold out, but it looks promising so far. Knock on wood.

A safe safe for my photos
My desktop computer had almost run out of space and my Star Tech was nearly full. I had just returned from a trip with a new batch of photos. What could Ido. The Seagate was the answer and I am most pleased.

Easy Set Up
Drive was easily set up and easy to use. The two USB ports in the front are actually a lot more handy then I originally thought they would be. Drive is super quite and cannot hear it over the CLX next to it.

Like drive but 2-Month Adobe Membership did not work
This is the second of the Backup Plus Hub drives that I have purchased. the first 6GB version has worked well for years. The new 10GB one seems to be working well once I got it properly to support Mac OS's Time Machine. Note the quick start instructions should not be followed if you want to format this drive for use with Time Machine! Seagate should mention this in their quick start guide, however the information on how to properly format you... Show More

Worked 15 Minutes and Died
Set up for non-eventful. I transferred two folders. During the third folder transfer, the unit quit working. When I clicked on the icon for the device, my iMac froze, a rare happening. After re-booting, the drive was not recognized by the computer. After struggling with the mess, I contacted Seagate Customer Service via phone. After a long time, Seagate concluded the drive was defective. Then they informed me shipping for the replacement drive wo... Show More

Excellent external drive
This is my 5th Seagate external drive. I've used them for backups for many years and have never had a problem with one. The new models have USB hubs on the front which is an added bonus.

Copying files between 1.42 - 5.7 MB/s which is very slow!
From what I can tell this is abnormal and not typical. Not every single one of these Seagate backup plus Hub Drives will be faulty, but it seems to have a higher number of failure than other backup drives. Now I'm stuck having to deal with Seagate hardware warranty which is 2 years and having to find a solution for storing my data while not having the drive. As always B&H is super helpful, I purchased it for work while budget was approved but did... Show More

Seagates drives are always great
This drive has a lot of space for my backups. It took a long time to backup 4TB of data from my computer. Im replacing two 4TB drives with this one and one new internal 8TB drive. This should do the trick as Seagate are probably the most reliable drives out there

Great device
I needed a new backup drive. This one has huge capacity (6Tb), switches itself on and off via my docking station, and acts as a usb hub too. Very reasonable price to boot.

My 6th Seagate Backup Drive
This is my sixth Seagate Backup Drive Ive purchased over the past several years to archive and backup my extensive photo collection, as well as archive and backup files for my business, as well as running Time Machine for Mac on one of them. All six still running and Im impressed by their reliability.

Large hard drive
I have used this hard drive for a few weeks on a Win 7 computer, and am generally satisfied with it. The drive is extremely easy to set up (simply plug in!) and very quiet. It is fairly slow, and therefore best for those who want to have a lot of storage space at a low price, but dont mind waiting a bit longer for large storage jobs to finish.

What a great deal
I bought the Seagate 8TB Backup Drive because I am concerned about redundant storage. I was going to use it to back my other drives into it. Liked the drive so much I am using it for my main drive and using the others to back up the Seagate drive.

Some annoying things . . .
This drive seems to be fast and works as a drive should. Two things bother me about this drive: I own 2 other Seagate 4-TB drives, and they get done copying my files and stop making sounds. This 6TB drive keeps on clicking for many minutes after it shows 100% copy of files or folders. Does this mean that it is not really done copying? And, second, I am still running Win 7 Pro, and every once in a while the shortcut icon to this drive shows up with a question mark over it on booting up which stays there until the next boot, although it seems to work OK as a drive even with the question mark.

Had to return it for replacement, once I got the RMA the exchange was timely and the replacement works very well. I would do business with B&H again. I like their return policy.
