    • 2 out of 3 isn't bad but isn't great either
Style: Hub Pattern Name: Hard Drive Capacity: 8TB
I've bought 3 of them, so far. Two of them have been working great since around December of last year. It's really hard to beat the price on these things, when they go on sale. I wouldn't try to play games off of them or anything that requires a lot of random reading/writing to the disk. However, it's great as an archive drive, seeing how that's literally what these things are made for. I store most of my Plex library on one of these and haven't had any issues with streaming stuff off of it. Technically, random reading isn't usually too big a deal, I just wouldn't do anything that involves a lot of random writes to the disk. The one likely exception that comes to mind would be a game like Diablo 3 that rapidly loads assets from the hard drive as you play. So, some games might actually run just fine off of one. Either way, I didn't really test playing games off of one but I wouldn't recommend trying it and I think most people have moved to SSDs for installed apps like games at this point anyways. The third one makes an annoying buzzing noise while idle. I'm guessing there's something wrong with its ability to park the drive heads. So, I already setup a replacement for it. The built in USB hub is convenient but it also makes the drive incompatible with devices like the PS4, even though you can use the hub free Expansion version of the drive just fine with it. Keep in mind, the PS4 only supports up to 4 TB, currently. It's worth noting these things do not have on/off switches and they will not power up until the USB cable is connected. I had long stuck solely to internal drives, so I was a little surprised to find out you can't even get them to power on with just the AC adapter plugged in. This seems to be common functionality for external hard drives because most of them don't even have power adapters and the ones that do typically only power up when connected by USB. It's also worth mentioning that while it's generally safe to connect an external drive while your PC/console/whatever is turn on, disconnecting it isn't generally considered safe. In other words, the only safe way to disconnect an external drive is after powering off whatever device you connect it to. Technically, you should be okay as long as nothing is being actively written to it but with background processes accessing drives without giving any form of notice, it can be a gamble. Since Seagate drives go on sale more often, I have 7 Seagate external drives compared to 2 Western Digital ones. All were bought online. Out of all of them, only the one 8 TB Backup Plus has had any problems. Normally, I'm a strictly WD person, since all of my internal drives are WD and have been for over a decade. It's simply because I've always had better luck with them. 100% of my internal Seagate drives since 1996, have had issues and 100% of my WD drives have lasted long enough to be retired due to being obsolete. That said, I've only owned 2 Seagate internal drives and probably over a dozen WD drives, neither of which is enough to really say anything about either brand. Also, bad drives tend to happen either in batches or to specific models. Sometimes the problem is with the model itself and sometimes its as simple as bad handling during shipping. I average about 80-85 MB/s transfer speeds, even on the one I'm sending back. Transfer speeds can be affected by any number of things, from drivers to the USB controller chip on your motherboard to any cable or hub connected in-between. So, if you're getting significantly worse speeds than others are reporting, you have an issue and it may or may not be the drive itself. Be sure to save yourself some grief and verify it's specifically the drive causing any issues before returning one. Try other USB ports, other USB cables (if you can,) other PCs, be sure to connect it direct without a USB hub and update your drivers. If none of that fixes your problems and you have other external drives performing just fine, it's fairly definite at that point you have a defective drive. Always be sure to test stuff out within the return window, if you can help it. It's been my experience that sending a hard drive in for an RMA with the manufacturer can result in you being sent a refurb drive to replace your broken new one. Refurb hard drives are something you generally don't want because they already have a bit of wear on them which can have an impact on both performance and longevity. Getting a refurb from an RMA seems to be a common issue with computer components and electronics in general but hard drive manufacturers are notorious for this. Something like what formatting you use on a drive can make a huge difference, even if it doesn't seem that important. WD external drives tend to come with exFAT formatting. Some PCs will refuse to boot with an external hard drive connected that is formatted with exFAT. I know, I ran into that very issue myself. I'm not talking about a Windows or driver problem here, it flat out refused to even POST. These drives come with NTFS formatting, which is what I prefer. Another thing to watch out for is that nearly all external drives, these included, use passive cooling. If you make the mistake of putting two of these drives too close to each other, they're pretty much guaranteed to overheat. So, watch your spacing. I started getting blue screens and couldn't figure out why until I realized two my external drives had slide together, while I wasn't looking. Overall, these things are a great deal, as long as you get one that works. The part of me that remembers using a single 500 MB drive for everything is amazed at how big and cheap storage is these days. The part of me that remembers seeing storage size grow by a factor of 10 on nearly a yearly basis is disappointed a little at the slow down that happened when hard drives started to approach 1 TB. Based on the growth rate I had witnessed during the late 90s and early 2000s, I expected to see at least 1 PB drives at around $200-$300 each by now. I'm not even sure if it's a problem of the market or tech that slowed progress. Anyways, I have over 37 TB in external storage and most of that was filled the day I got it. The endless quest for more storage space continues. ... show more

    • Ultra Quiet, Fast, Universal with USB 3.0 HUB, Reliable, Great backup soft = Overall Excellent!

Review Image by Emerther

I purchased 8TB drive 14 months ago for purpose of it being attached to NAS for a differential backups. NAS recognized it in a breeze, only issue NAS has is that it can not let the drive into sleep mode. I realized this after two months of continuous run on this poor desktop aimed harddrive inside its neat piano black enclosure with convenience of expanding your USB3.0 ports to additional two. Fortunately, the constant strain onto this non-workstation drive havent had any impacts whatsoever. It remains to be superbly quiet while being amazingly fast with a limit of 151MB/s I have noticed on desktop while backing up from local SSDs. May not seem too impressive compared to SATA3 speed limits or SSD drives speeds but considering its a single HDD with its capacity platters and quietness, this is rather impressive, especially comparing my old 1TB usb2.0 Drive which is slower than one 6th of this drives performance. Spin-up is lengthy but the drive supports sleep mode while a source its plugged into via USB cable is turned off and I would say power on spin up time sacrifice is a great feature vs shorter drive life. Once its booted its access time is snappy, may take couple of seconds at most but then again, this is a mechanical drive which does well also in this regard. Best feature is the front USB HUB, and If I knew I will once buy this drive, I would save 30 bucks by skipping the purchase of 4 port USB3.0 hub that also needs power adapter. This drives front hub suffices my needs for USB3.0 ports by itself and places them right where I need it to be next to external optical drive and a card reader separated from the desktop case into a furniture piece with opening for what I call a media peripherals cabinet, it is very convenient just for this matter itself as I hide the wiring clutter in the back of it and all looks neat and tidy. If you keep the drive exposed, you may also like the breathing style logo LED backlight while its at works. When in standby, it just stays lit and isnt intrusively bright. Software-wise, the drive comes pre-loaded with a small application that will forward your web browser to seagate web site regarded to registration of particular product that could be skipped and still provided you with utilities: Toolkit - free of charge for your desktop backups being done once, daily, weekly, monthly, atm or differential backup. RescueData - could be downloaded for a charge and sadly, this utility is not free. Theres a fame that Seagate drives are defective and dont last long, yet I have never had an issue with Maxtor nor Seagate drives since late 90's. Actually It was Western Digital that gave me issues on three different drives. I have 2 seagate IronWolf drives in NAS and are running 24/7 and report healthy with 0 errors for the past year and a half or so. I strongly advise you, dont give on others reviews bashing this brand, seagate honors warranties and wont try to steal your money as some state. This honest company does not need to damage its name. In pc world its just fan war between the brands just like consoles flame wars go about PS vs Xbox, so do the PC spheres go Intel vs AMD, Nvidia vs AMD, Seagate vs WD where in reality, all the products perform about the same and only winner is who throws a better competing price tag onto their product. You are not getting damaged, or 50% less performing product, those who try to tell you that, are completely out of the picture. I dont even believe their said experience with DOA drives, unless they play football with them, place them next to 300WATT speakers magnets, plug and unplug usb or power cord while the drive is being accessed at the very moment pretending its hot-swappable and expect everything to be fine. Of course it wont, nor would it be okay with any brand HDD or SSD. NOTE! 8TB drive, as of Feb. 2020 has a wrong price. Its only 50cents cheaper than 10TB version, whilst I purchased this over a year ago for 149.99 - this needs a FIX do not buy 8TB Drive for more than US$150! UPDATE: Soon it'll be 4 years of daily use with backups set once a week, rather occasional write of random files ranging from single kB up to well over a GB, numerous daily accesses. Still snappy & quiet, performs just like on Day 1 and as excpected, CHKDSK report in provided screenshot confirmed theres 0 bad sectors. What more to state than this drive is phenomenal? Only that I truly feel sorry for unhappy owners of this flawless drive. Since my purchase in Dec of '18 price went up 22 dollars and STILL holds lowest price tag for 8TB external drive with added bonus in form of USB hub other brand drives lack, just cant beat it for the price and considering purchase of another one. ... show more
