Amazing storage!
I got the Seagate expansion desktop to free up space on our home computer and safely store important files, documents and photos to. It was extremely easy to set up within seconds my home PC found it and recognized it. Comes with multiple plug in outlets instead of just the standard outlet. Its portable and small so it doesnt take up to much space in your desk area. When not in use can easily be stored away for safe keeping without the hassle of worrying about loosing everything if your computer should ever crash. Great for gamers, business and home use.

    Great buy
    Great hard drive. It will take me a long time to fill this up, but gave me no trouble with install. No trouble dragging and dropping photos, easy access. Running perfectly, and safe and secure. I cannot recommend more.

    It works excellent
    I'm a Linux user, It's shipped formatted NTFS. I'm a Seagate fan I have several others a 4tb and a 2tb. I just bought a windows pc so this is for the ability to store and retrieve between the OS's. My only disappointment it requires an AC adapter. As far as purchase and shipping excellent recieved at home same day.

    Recommend for sure! Easy setup!
    I am a streamer and this came in so handy. I ran out of internal space from everything you need as a streamer. This has made stream and having more things downloaded that is completely needed!

    I like it because I have an earlier model so it's not complicated. the only problem was the start-up seagate menu didn't load, but I know how to use it.

    Do not buy
    This stopped working after 45 days. I received the dreaded clicking sound of death. I could not return because it was past the warranty timeline.

    Good HD but with wrong connecting cable.
    I was disappointed to find that the wrong connecting cable was in the package. It included a USB A to C cable instead of the required USB A to micro B cable. I hope this problem is a one-off and not a system wide manufacturing problem for this model. I contacted Seagate about this issue and is working for a resolution. To purchase the proper cable would cost at least $10 which would add to the cost. For the additional cost, I could have purchase a higher capacity HD instead. Otherwise, the hard drive works well. The drive is as described. Very nicely packaged. It came with the backup software and an assortment of international power adaptors for the power supply so this is obviously an international export model.

    Extremely pleased!
    This is my second 8Tb Seagate expansion drive. If they weren't a good product, I wouldn't have made the same mistake twice. EASY to use, even for anyone who isn't a computer nerd. EVERYTHING is included in the box to make it work. All that's required is a USB port on the unit in which you're plugging it in. Even the backup software is included.

    I expected more than 3 months from a 3.5" HDD
    I expected this drive to last much longer than 3 months. It worked great for the first 2.5 months. Then yesterday when i go to backup my PC to the drive. It decides to drop out the write speed and make the whole PC go unresponsive. I couldn't do anything within Windows Explorer. I had to unplug the drive to make the PC respond. I plug it back in to find that Windows doesn't even recognize it anymore and the drive makes a constant thumping sound.

    Works great
    I got this to store all my family photos. It transferred photos faster and did not lag like a lot of the little hard drives that I have tried. It connected fast to the computer and was easy to instal.

    Awesome Expansion Storage
    I've been using this as my Xbox expansion storage and it is awesome! So much space and it's FAST! Small enough so that I can hide it behind my tv. Stores all my games without any issue. Would definitely recommend.

    A great product!
    This is an excellent storage device. I have had no problems with it. It is reasonably fast, quiet, runs cool and has been very dependable with not an issue during the weeks I have had it. I have used 4 terabytes so far on this drive without an issue. It has been very dependable and a very good drive. Nice case, good feel and solid plastic - much nicer than the case for a WD external drive, for example. Comes formatted with GUID partition scheme, full support for Macs, more realistic for use as an external drive with Windows. Overall, I'd give this a recommendation if your looking for a sizeable external HDD.

    The best you can buy
    This Seagate Expansion desktop - 8TB hard River is way,better than any others. The writing speed is out of this world ,combined with a nearly indestructable construction ,no others even come close. I am using it for business stuff right now, however I plan to get another one to use for family stuff ,pictures,videoes,etc after seeing how great they are. 8TB is more than I will ever use,I'm sure. And it's so affordable compared to other large size memory expansion hard drives. I would highly recommend this to anyone who want a backup of important data, or just more room to store data.

    All the storage space we need!
    My husband and I have been looking to get an external hard drive for awhile. I am so glad we got this one. It doesn't take up a lot of space. It was incredibly easy to get set up and start using it. We mainly have it for photos and videos that were on CDs previously. It was so easy and quick to move the files over. My husband was getting his games installed from his X-Box and he said it was simple and the file transfers took no time at all. There is so much room on this hard drive that I feel like we'll be set on storage space for a very long time, if not forever! We would definitely recommend purchasing this external hard drive.

    Extra space!
    I love this Seagate Desktop Expansion Drive. It stores all your digital files and images . Loads them up quickly and it's easy to use. It does what it was meant to do. Backup software is also included. The design is so nice you can put it in plain sight and it doesn't look bad.

    Works great
    Works great, I transferred everything from my computer onto it and my computer works a lot faster ! I would highly recommend especially for someone who saves a lot to their computer and uses their computer for multiple different things! I save a lot of pictures and documents to my computer so this is definitely a must have for us!

    8TB is enormous!! You can fit everything on here
    We needed something to protect our business backups and this seemed to be the best solution. I was happy to know there's Rescue Data Recovery services included. The file transfer speed is lightening fast with the drag and drop feature I was transferring and coping files in little time with little effort. After I completely backed all my work files I realized I had WAY more room. I backed my home and phone files as well. I also loaded some of my kids X-box files. It's a smooth transition from Windows to Mac (IOS) very seamless. I purchased a second one and decided to devote it to just home/travel items. I loaded a bunch of movies on it for travel. When were in the car or camping it's nice to have some movies on hand that aren't wifi dependent as well as bogging down our devices memory spaces. This is honestly the easiest way I've ever backed things up. It's more then just a computer expansion it's a life saver. I love everything about it and highly recommend.

    Awesome Product!
    I received the Seagate Expansion Desktop external hard-drive to try out and my husband was ecstatic to get it! He said it's so good for storing his movies, music as well as his recordings...this things holds a lot and is a huge help for those who need the extra space! It's not heavy or bulky and it's a beautiful sleek black color! This is highly recommended!
