Small, portable, fast and tons of space.
This is a 4TB external 2.25 inch hard drive that runs totally off the USB port with no external power source required, making it very portable. I am using it to backup two laptops and two desktop computers for me any my wife and my two kids laptops. A total of six computers. After a complete backup for all six computers, the used space on the drive barely moves. This drive is a must have for anyone who needs a very large amount of space and a portable drive that can easily be moved from computer to computer and carried with you on the road. For the money, It is a fantastic unit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nope
Four of the black ones corrupted data on me last year and ruined a 8 months long backup project I was doing. I have to do it all again. I'm too old for this nonsense. It's a shame, because I love the drives otherwise. It was months before I found out I was writing to bad blocks. What a horror! I thought maybe my USB 3 ports were the problem, but I have a bunch of these in blue that have had zero problems. I don't think it's a coincidence. I think I caught a bad run of drives. Now I keep a close eye on condition of my drives with a utility called SMART Utility. SMART your drives, folks. Sadly I couldn't even test the Seagate warranty, because I took the drives out of the cases to tech them on a SATA buss. Ah, computer life... May you have better luck with your computer life!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Seagate Backup Plus Slim 4TB STDR4000100
The Backup Plus Slim series of HD are excellent (I have two 2TB and 1 4TB) and affordable. It is certainly not the fastest drive but good enough for my day-to-day archiving purpose as well as running it as a boot disk on USB (even USB 2.0 on a 2009 iMAC (whose internal HD died, and buried inside since I don't want to open the iMAC). Now I can simply take the drive on a trip and boot up any iMAC. The 4TB has the same footprint as the 2TB, only a bit thicker. Please note that there are many Seagate 4TB models, and not everyone is a slim one (the box DOES NOT say it is slim, but it is if you have the Model STDR40000100. I also have the 4TB Backup Hub and it is very bulky in comparison (its advantage is it has its own power and can connect other drives to it). I had the 2TBs for over a year and they perform well. I expect the same for the 4TB. They work for both Windows PC and Macs. However, I find it almost impossible to eject the drives under Windows 10---it is always "in use" (either because of Dashboard, or Windows Backup, or Norton Utility and I have to shutdown the machine to remove it. Very inconvenient. No such problems on a Mac (even if Time Machine is running using a partition on the drive).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Small Fast Portable Good
I am impressed with the size of the drive. Very portable. Great news for Linux users. It works with no installation and sees the entire capacity of drive. These drives are formatted to NTFS from Seagate. If you are using a lean version of Linux like Xubuntu make sure you have gnome-disk-utility 3.18.3.1-1ubuntu1.1 installed. It will give you more options for disk management and allows better compatibility of the NTFS format to work in Linux. I am sure you will be thoroughly impressed with the functionality and portability of this external USB device.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

works just fine!
This was purchased to serve as an external nightly backup drive for the server at my place of work. We previously had a 1.5 TB backup drive that just didn't have enough room anymore. So I bumped it up to this 4 TB drive. Windows Server 2012 Essentials found it, formatted it, and it has been backing up nightly with zero issue. It is stored in a Sentrysafe water/fire proof storage data chest so I can't answer how loud it is. Speed seems okay, took awhile to get the first backup done. So far it's reliable though only in operation for a few weeks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good price, good product
I wanted a lot of disc space to store my hi-def videos, so I got this external hard drive. It has a decently durable casing, it work seamlessly with my MacBook Pro, and has more gigs than the average person would ever need. It doesn't have fancy security features, but it's a great drive for the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice drive and movies BUT:
A 4 TB drive with the movies on it is certainly worth the price. A 4 TB drive at best price is $89 and generally closer to $95-100. Throw in the movies and it is a great deal. HOWEVER, the drive did not have the original box which is not that big a deal but whoever packed it should be fired. IT IS A SENSATIVE hard drive and the drive is rattling all around in the priority box it came it. A lousy piece of newspaper is all it would have taken to prevent the drive from bouncing all around in the box. How bout some thin bubble wrap and actually really seem like you care about me the consumer. The product is fine but the package is terrible. PS I have purchased probably 15-20 peoples movie collections and have about 50 drives. I like to collect "movies" and I put them all together and the computer picks out the better copy and the collection grows. Have three 8TB drives with movies so I am talking from experience. Good drive, good price, fair movie quality movies but fire the packer. Md2195Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best HDD so far
Totally quiet, very fast (faster than samsung t5 SSD when connected to USB 3.0). Write speed about 90 Mbps thru USB 3.0. Cable fits snugly. Build quality seems solid. Has not failed like the WD elements, does not vibrate like the Toshiba Canvio, does not hang up while writing. Seems like a solid and reliable product. very pleased.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Love this little backup drive
I purchased the Seagate Backup Plus 4TB external hard drive after reading several drive comparisons, and the Seagate Backup Plus was top rated in all of them. Out of the box, the drive was an easy plug-and-play install in Windows 10. The fast USB 3 connection made backing up of files easy and the included Seagate software is easy to understand and use. I was so happy with this drive, I bought another for my wife's computer.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
