Elegant and enormous space

It's ok,  its not adorama product. Adorama offer great service and great delivery options.

Great Adorama

Good price, drive works fine

8TB USB HDD

I keep buying them so I guess that?s the best praise I can give to a hard drive ,this is the 6thojeive purchased and they?re all still working

Cheap and sturdy like I needed

Took months to receive

Great drive. If you want to extract the drive and just use it as SATA, easy to open the case and extract. Drive runs cool and fast. Great value compared to the competion.

Great drive for storage array!

Purchased to hold all my Steam games. Works great!

Great for games!

Quick and simple to use.  Took forever to get it, however.

Slow delivery

Works as expected

Great drive for backups. Not the fastest one, but Ok for the price.

Great drive for backups.

Perfect, I?ve had no issues with it and was able to transfer tons of files onto it with ease.

Perfect for the price

Great quality external drive. I expect it could take several drops and keep on working. I recommend waiting to purchase until the price goes back down to $144.98.

quality external drive

Nice

The external hard drives came quickly and no issues at all

Fast service, work fine

Used it to replace a drive showing a warning in Drobo Dashboard. To do this I had to open up the case and remove the drive, after watching a YouTube video it was pretty easy. The case stayed usable because not all the clips broke, was able to put the drive from the Drobo in this and use it as a temporary storage drive for large data transfers  between computers not on the same net.

Acceptable drive donor when you need inexpensive internal drive

Works as back up

Bought this hard disk to back up my movies and personal information. The size of the disk and the price were what I was looking for. The delivery from Adorama was on time and as expected (it was my first purchase with them). So far (3 weeks after) so good.

Good sizeable disk for a fair price

Fast delivery! Be a some time before I can fill it up. Great price.

Service

I have many Seagate drives that I use and this one stands out the most.  It is noisy when in use.  I have 2 of them I bought together but the nose that comes from them while processing and transferring gets annoying. I have a cabinet with all my drives and this is the first time I felt I needed padding to muffle the sound when working with files on them or transferring files.

Noisy drives

I’ve been a loyal Seagate user for over 10 years. This model is very reasonably priced for its capacity.

Very good external drive

Very reliable and fast external HD. I use mine for additional storage on my Plex server.  Movies stream perfectly.  Recommended.

Excellent external HD

This Seagate works well with the Ps4. I most certainly needed the space for my games. I don't understand how I went so long without it! Best buy for the ??

Extra storage needed for Ps4

Was a little worried since the packaging it arrived in seemed thin for shipping a HDD, but everything was in order. 
Lots of storage and a great value.

Great value

Wonderful

Best big backup bang for the buck! Easy install, mounts quickly.

This is pleanty for most home backup.

Affordable storage

I saw the ad for this and it looked like an incredible price for this much storage.  Compared prices elsewhere and came right back here to buy.  Simple plug and play into a USB 3.0 port on the back of my computer and I started using this drive as a storage unit for music files.  I've started keeping a bunch of high-res flac files and they take up some space.  This ought to really let my collection grow.

Mega Storage Space

Great cheap drives for archiving and backup, or for those setting up a media server. Most are SMR so not great for NAS or expanding working storage for your system. Have used on both Macs and PCs, no brainer set up. Plug in and go, comes with all necessary cables.

Great inexpensive drives

Was smaller than I was expecting, which was nice since I don’t have a lot of extra desk space with my workstation setup. Files copied pretty quickly, about 160 GB of files in a matter of minutes. I’m using it as a backup for photo files from my MacBook, so far so good!
