Seagate Portable Drive 1TB, External Hard Drive, Dark Grey, for PC Laptop and Mac, Data Rescue Services, Amazon Exclusive (STGX1000400)

Used to back-up my Tower PC. A great product that appears reliable and at a great price

Bought because my last hard drive was used with a Windows computer and wasn't recognised by my new Apple MacBook Air which, for me, is a learning curve. Anyway, I decided rather than reformat the old hard drive and possibly corrupt/lose music, photos, documents etc. I'd buy a new one. The last one is a Seagate, which I've had for years, so I expect some longevity from the new one. What I found was that I had to reformat the hard drive from a Windows setting to suit the Apple Macbook. Once I discovered how this was achieved it was plain sailing. The hard drive is compact, makes no noise (though I'm apparently a bit deaf), looks good, has been reliable and has held data with no issues (I'm now past the half way storage mark).

Bought this to backup my data from a PC HDD. It's plug and play with my windows 11. To transfer data i copied and pasted files and folders from my PC HDD to the ex HDD. Write speeds were 120 MB/s which is quick enough for me. I've not tested read speeds yet but i think the read speeds will be similar to the write speeds. I think the price i paid for this ex HDD is definitely worth it.

Comes with 1.8T which is unfortunate as it’s advertised as 2T, however it works fine and still stores everything that I need. Light weight and read speed is great.

I've purchased 3 of these 4TB external hardrives over the past 12 months and they are proving to be reliable. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the plastic casing. Previous to this I've purchased 3 of the "Business Grey" 4TB seagate external hardrives. Which you would think to be the same internal drive but with a nicer outer casing with an aluminium casing on the top. These are more expensive! and not as reliable as the cheaper black plastic casing above. So I will always order the cheaper 4TB as from now. All 3 of my "Business Grey" drives always have "error" messages when 1st playing a movie on the "Sumvision Cycline Micro 2+ 4K media player? Without fail, but after the 1st error message the files play OK. I don't have this problem with these cheaper black casing 4TB hardrives. Avoid the nicer looking, more expensive "Business Grey" drives and I would highly recommend these drives instead as they seem to be more reliable and not as sensitive. *Update* July 2026 All Seagate drives are working well and since my last review I've purchased another x2, so I now have 5 of these in total. With all my drives i always stick on small 6.4mm x 1.9mm clear rubber feet from the "Happy Bananas Store" "The Sticky-Stuff Company". These help in 2 ways, they stop the drives from sliding around and also lift the drive from the surface they are sitting on. This prevents heat build up and allows heat on the base of the drive to disperse. I have x14 seagate drives and x18 WD drives mostly 4TB. Last year within a 6 month period x4 of my WD drives failed! With no heavy use. I wrote a bad review on them. I wouldn't purchase another WD drive again. None of my seagate drives have failed or caused any problems so far, so seagate will be my choice always in the future as they have proven to be much more reliable than WD drives.

Top notch, quiet ,and works well with my lg c5 tv

I bought this in February 2024 and it was brilliant. Until I had an accident in January this year when it flew through thr air and hit my cube unit and it caused fatal damage. Seagate have a 2 year warranty with a data recovery plan. I was just in time. They sent me a recertified 5tb drive and then a month after sending my faulty drive off I got an email to say the recovery was successful. I got a second drive in the post with my 2.5tb data there. 96.8% was successfully recovered and the other 3.2% was there in a file called BadFiles. And all those were amongst my files on my 2tb backup drive. A very valuable service and I'm really pleased to have chosen seagate. The second drive was a 5tb PS5 game drive so now thinking about buying another drive so I can use that as a game drive.

Very happy with this product - easy to set up, very quiet, good compact size and overall a nice appearance. Have been using for a while now and it is very reliable, would definitely recommend!

Aynı modelin backup plus slim olanı vardı. Kasasının üstü metal altı plastikti. Bunun ise yekpare plastik. Kaliteli hissettirmiyor ama elinizde dolaşan bir ürün de değil zaten. Bellikte Seagate kalitesini tartışmaya bile gerek yok. 2 TB alın kafanız rahat etsin.

Seems like an excellent product. No issues starting up and transfers really fast. I got a protective rubber wrap around for it as it seems quite light and probably doesn't' have a lot of protective shielding.

Value for Money: Considering its generous storage capacity, portability, high-speed data transfer, reliability, and durability, the Seagate Portable 2TB External Hard Drive offers excellent value for money. The combination of features makes it a cost-effective solution for users seeking a reliable external storage option without compromising on performance
