Seagate 3TB Expansion Desktop Ext HDD

A god send for my 500gb PS4. Works perfectly and currently leaving all my games installed is quality. The set up is straight forward and you can get all the help you need online through YouTube or forums. It does require a socket to power, and must been connected to the PS4 using a USB cable, which will take up one of your ports permanently. The only problem I've encountered is not being able to wear my gaming headset and play guitar hero at the same time, as both require a USB port. Other than that, it's well worth the money. Size is nice as well, and looks like a decent bit of kit. Been using for about a month now, would recommend to any PS4 gamer who wants more than 4 games installed at once.

In the situation that i use this (always plugged in to my xbox one as an external hard drive rather than constantly being moved as a portable hard drive) this has been an excellent storage device that was very easy to set up and has never given me any problems. *Warning* My PERSONAL opinion upon inspecting the sockets and design of this product is that they are prone to wearing out and breaking very quickly if the device is plugged and unplugged alot (ie if it's being used as a portable HDD rather than a permanent expansion) so be forewarned that it's really not suited to the role of "portable" **EDIT** it's now 2022 and i've been using the same external drive daily since 2015 , the reason for the edit is that i think it's finally dying as i've had a couple of disk write errors and several files lost due to corruption. Literally could not have asked more from this equipment and i'll be looking to get whatever the current version is to continue on my external HDD needs. You have my sympathies if you've had a bad experience with this line of external/portable HDDs but in my experience the reliability has been top notch

Seagate comes with a big reputation, and for me personally they will always be an extremely solid choice. The fact that all Mac hardrives are supplied by Seagate is a big box tick for me. This drive is no different, it's really fast, reliable, small (smaller than you think) and is really great value for money. I use this drive to back up really large photo and video projects and so far I have nothing to complain about! Pros - Huge storage - Well made - USB 3.0 is very fast - Really pretty new design - Small and discreet Cons - Can be slightly loud, however, it's a physical HD so these will always make noise as there is a disc physically spinning inside! Seagate doesn't have it's reputation for reliability and value for money for no good reason. I would recommend any Seagate product and will be a fan for life!

If you want this drive to suspend when not in use or when you switch off a device it's connected to you will need to download the "Seagate Drive Settings" tool from here: [...] (Link removed by Amazon!! - Just search for 'Seagate Drive Settings' and make sure it's the tool for external drives.) For some bizarre reason my 3TB drive was set to be permanently on/spinning! This software tool didn't work on Windows 10, even in Win 7 emulation mode, but did work on my Windows 7 Professional PC. You can turn off the LED as well as set how long before the drive switches off when idle, starts from 3 min, I set mine to 5 min. I also noticed that it now turns off when I suspend my media box which it didn't before I changed the settings. I was going to send this back as it isn't silent although to be honest it's pretty quiet but it's seeming inability to suspend when not in use really annoyed me. Luckily I found the Seagate settings tool and all seems fine now, fingers crossed it has performance and longevity as well. I almost gave this 4 Stars because I had to p*** about but now I've figured out the fix, for all of us, I've decided to give it 5 as it is cheap and seems to be working fine, and it's pretty quiet. May update in the event of anything good or bad!

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I'm a graphic designer and avid photographer so storage space is always a problem. This drive works perfectly with my mac and with USB 3.0 is lightning fast. I've partitioned mine 4 times and it works perfectly. If you have a windows PC there are a few additional pieces of software included with the drive, such as a back up agent. I have used seagate expansion drives for a few years now and have only good things to say. They are sturdy (although I don't go throwing mine around) and light weight which is handy if like myself you take it everywhere with you. It is also very quiet when running at full pelt. I use it as a scratch disk for video editing which gives you an idea of its speed and performance. APPEARANCE Aesthetically this generation of expansion drive is very nice to look at but feels a little cheap unlike its predecessor which had an aluminum case. I cant say how this effects it's cooling system but if I know anything it's that aluminium conduct heat better than plastic. STORAGE The one thing I don't like is the fact that it is designed to stand up on its end and a narrow end at that. I have had a Western Digital MyBook topple over onto my desk in the past and completely wrote off the drive so you can understand my concern with ever storing a drive the same way again. The drive only has rummer feet on it's narrow end so it may get scuffed when lying down. I'd recommend buying some felt pads to protect it. If your unsure which way up the HDD needs sit use the label on the back (with one with the serial number) and ensure the text is up right.

Siparişten önce kargo şirketi ve Amazon Türkiye'den yaptığım ilk alışveriş olması sebebiyle şüphelerim vardı, fakat sonuç; hızlı kargo, sorunsuz ürün. Ilk 2 günde 1,5 tb veri attım, 100mb/sn nin altına düşmedi. Aşırı sesli değil. Bilgisayar da direkt tanıdı. Alışverişten memnunum, tavsiye ederim.

Mis impresiones hasta ahora: - Los materiales son de calidad, buena estética. - Se calienta muy poco. - El medidor de consumo eléctrico me da valores entre 4w y 7w, dependiendo de la carga que tenga en cada momento. 0w en reposo. - No es ruidoso, lo tengo a un par de metros del ordenador y creo que no lo he escuchado nunca. - Lo tengo encendido 24/7 desde hace más de una semana. Está conectado a una Banana Pro (tipo Raspberry), funcionando como servidor de ficheros y cliente torrent (rtorrent). De momento todo bien, pero como con cualquier disco duro, a la larga se verá si fue buena inversión. Si da algún tipo de problemas actualizaré la opinión. Lo recomiendo.

Questo hard disk è un ottimo dispositivo dotato di grande capacità anche se è ormai facile trovare anche dimensioni maggiori (recentemente ho acquistato questo da 4TB: https://amzn.to/3mFL1L5) Funziona bene e il trasferimento dati è veloce seppur si tratti di un disco tradizionale e non SSD. Consiglio questo prodotto come sistema di backup su cui programmare un archiviazione quotidiana per mettere al sicuro i proprio dati.

Bueno, como mucha gente necesitaba más espacio para mis archivos y opté por este disco externo. Tenía ya uno de Seagate de 2 TB que va al pelo, como el primer día que lo compré. Yo recomiendo los de 3,5" como este porque son más duraderos que los de 2,5" y además la relación "calidad-precio" es mucho mejor. Bueno pues volviendo a este aparato en concreto, he optado por el modelo de 3 TB y he de decir que va como la seda. No tiene botón de corriente, simplemente se enciende al enchufarlo al pc y a la corriente, y se apaga cuando desconectas uno de las dos conexiones. La posición vertical que tiene hace que ocupe menos sitio y además es bastante bonito. No le he encontrado defectos. Lo recomiendo 100%.
