It serves the purpose. Easy to handle. Speed is good. Sometimes detection issues on my MAC mini. Otherwise a good buy.

My 2TB hard drive stopped working. I approached the company, who were very helpful. Seagate commits to recovering your data free of cost within the stipulated period. The data retrieval process worked like a dream. Not only did I get a new replacement drive, my data was also recovered for free (a process that could cost thousands from a third party data recovery agency).

So good and speed

Good product,you can buy it without any doubt,excellent material,easy to use,good for backup data,nice data transferspeed,value for money,less weight, thanks

The Seagate Expansion 1TB External HDD gets the job done, but it’s not without its flaws. On the positive side, it's easy to set up and works well with both Windows and Mac.The USB 3.0 offers decent transfer speeds, and it's portable enough to carry around.However, the build quality feels a bit cheap and fragile, and the short USB cable can be annoying. While the 3-year data recovery service is a nice touch, the performance isn't anything special compared to other drives in the market.

Era o que esperava, um HD com bastante memória e relativamente rápido na gravação de arquivos. Nada a reclamar. Recomendo.

Mto bom, a fonte CC q podia ter explicações melhores...comprei uma de CFTV e nao funcionou no meu antigo...ai comprei esse

Produto excelente, condiz com o anunciado, entrega antes da data prevista!Hd original, de boa qualidade.

With its enormous storage capacity, I can finally back up all my files, photos, videos, and even my extensive media collection with room to spare. It’s plug-and-play, so setup was a breeze—just connect the USB, and it’s ready to go.The data transfer speeds are impressive, especially for such a large drive, and it runs smoothly without any lag. I also appreciate that it’s compact and doesn’t take up much desk space. If you’re looking for reliable and spacious external storage, this Seagate drive is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
