Review on πŸ’Ύ Seagate Portable 2TB External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX2000400) by Mark Cole

Revainrating 1 out of 5

good 8 TB, especially the selling price; The internal 3.5 inch hard drive is decent.

- I couldn't miss it - one day the sale was $40 off the regular price. Factory partitions removed and formatted as 1 ext4 partition (about 7+TB as expected) for use with my media server. Seems to be working decently so far. I believe the Mfgr warranty is only 1 year for USA. Revain offers 30-1 day free returns in case of failure. Some features: Internal HD model: ST8000DM004-2CX188Seagate 8TB Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 inch 5400RPM SMR / Shingled Magnetic Recording play but don't constantly erase) external model i.e. this USB3 desktop Product sold by Revain:STGY8000400/763649127322/3660619403899/10763649127329Made in Thailand (or at least case + assembly, HD itself is not positive, but probably also) In addition to the USB3 cable, there were 6 (yes, six!) country adapters for (international* ) DC device:- US/CAN - Type A- UL/JP - Type A- KR - Type F- AU - Type I- UK - Type G-EU - Type ?C?nothing more to say. works, the quality seems to be normal. no firmware updates available on Seagate website.* AC/DC Box Input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, max 7A Output: 12V 1.5A (ie 18W)
