This was precisely my reason for the purchase of this drive. Common wisdom advises the back up of data. As a consequence, I have lost irreplaceable photos and documents. However, to this I am making an exception due to the sudden, complete, and catastrophic failure of this drive. But then there is the reality of the personal data that is now lost. I would happily destroy it upon receipt of a new replacement. The only resolution that I would find acceptable would be to have Seagate send a new drive to replace the doorstop that I now own. Nor do I feel any confidence in the security of my personal data contained on the drive should I return it to Seagate. I do not find it acceptable that I should have to front the cost of return shipping. Seagate stipulated though, as follows: "Please be advised, Seagate may replace your product with a product that was previously used, repaired, and tested to meet Seagate specifications." Not much comfort there, considering that the new unit that I purchased presumably also met Seagate specifications. I have had several rounds of emails with Seagate Support which ultimately concluded with the recommendation of returning the drive for replacement. The drive is neither detected within the Device Manager nor Disk Management. Additionally, I unsuccessfully attempted to initialize the drive with any of the available USB ports on my computer. I have attempted to utilize "SeaTools for Windows" to no avail. After which point, my computer no longer recognized the drive. Lamentably, shortly thereafter, the drive began making grinding and chattering noises. This condition persisted for several weeks. Upon restarting my computer, the problem seemed to self rectify.

However, beyond that point, my HP Pavilion Desktop 570-p094 running on Windows 10, failed intermittently to recognize the drive. For a period of about 30 days it performed as expected.

I accepted delivery of a Seagate Backup Plus Hub 6TB External Desktop Hard Drive Storage STEL6000100 from on December 20, 2017. Regarding Amazon, their network of vendors and delivery services, I had ordered the product at around 9.27 pm on Nov 2, 2018, and it was delivered at 7.59 am (almost a wake up call) on Nov 3, 2018.
I've always believed USB, as one of the best inventions and best among interfaces for IT related products. The data transfer speeds entirely depend upon the type of USB port (2.0/3.0) you plug it into.īest part about USB 2.0 & 3.0 is that they are both ways compatible. So even if you connect a USB mouse, keyboard, speakers, pen drives or anything which requires a USB port, work here also. The basic concept is, the two USB 3.0 ports act as additional ports for USB devices expansion. I could easily connect another Seagate 4 TB Backup plus, USB 3.0, external, 'powered' hard drive along with a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 500 GB, USB 3.0 hard drive, which worked flawlessly together.
I found the product to be sleek, hardly taking up any table space. I think of it as a great choice for enhancing storage and backing up important data.
