I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

I bought it as an external mobile storage for my macbook. The build quality compared to a poppy . has already lost the habit of it, although for "other companies" it's quite good. Cast aluminum still looks more serious (but worth it). I hope there will be no problems. Packaging, appearance, cable, etc. are good. The cable is short, but it's the best for a laptop. after a year of use. Split the disk into 2 partitions. Perhaps this is where the problems started. With a long load (backup of

Pros
  • Price, rating on the market, well-known company, compact and lightweight.
Cons
  • Flimsy-looking case made of thin plastic, lack of a full range of software for MAC, lack of service centers in 2022.

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

I have been doing photography for the last 6 years. Every year the collection of photos increases, the files of modern cameras become more and more weighty, so I need reliable and sometimes mobile storage of jpeg and raw files. Shootings are commercial, so the issue of reliable data storage is very important. I chose Seagate. Now I have several hard drives from this manufacturer. There are two external drives 2 TB, 2 4 TB and 1 1 TB Seagate STDR1000201. I always take this small and mobile 1 TB…

Pros
  • Advantages: high-quality assembly, cheap, light, does not need external power, super reliable, there is always enough space for several photo shoots. The disk is already three years old, it fell several times, it still works perfectly. Additionally, I note the fast writing and reading speed, usb 3 support
Cons
  • did not find

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

He lived for 2 years and died - at first he didn’t copy the files, put them for verification using Windows, checked for a week (it can be seen that some sectors were damaged), and then turned off and didn’t cut it anymore. He took it to a workshop in Kitay-Gorod, they said that he was craving, data recovery ~ from 10 thousand with the loss of file names and file structure. And I had so much important information about work there . In general, I don’t know why he died from me, but I won’t buy…

Pros
  • Fairly fast, not very hot, relatively reliable
Cons
  • Broke after 2 years of use with complete data loss

Video recording is quite slow, loading the laptop to play video is also slow. On 5 modern TVs, the disk was not initially detected, after reformatting to the same format on 4 TVs, the sharp of different models began to be detected, but still did not open. At 4K, LG with a 65-inch screen works fine. A hard drive of the same company and the same volume works with all TVs without problems

Pros
  • Compact
Cons
  • Works well with laptops but won't detect or open on 4 out of 5 modern TVs.

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

On the day of purchase, ~200 GB of file information was transferred to the disk. The whole system partition was laid down in the form of a backup. I used the built-in Seagate Dashboard software. Nice, fast and convenient program. The copy process is fast. About 100 mb/s or a little more. It doesn't matter how big the files are. These can be small text scripts or large DVD files.

Pros
  • Add to 2 TB of free space 200 gigs in one drive, high file copying speed, a durable metal case with a durable coating and an excellent mechanical part (the drive itself). The piece goes for 5 points.
Cons
  • Only one: short usb cord included.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Immediately after receiving as a gift, the disk was reformatted to ext4. I then sat tightly on Linux, recognized only this format. Later reformatted back to ntfs. Still, the disk was used not only by me, but also by my wife. And she is an inveterate vinduzyatnitsa. With the speed of copying in both ext4 and ntfs, everything is in order. Far beyond 100 mb per second.

Pros
  • Bravo, it turned out to make a successful portable hdd. 500 gigs. Not a single broken sector for 2 months of active use. No problem with partition table. Usb 3.0. Big buffer. Low disk temperature during operation.
Cons
  • I would choose a different color. And I added rubber inserts on the sides of the case for greater reliability of the disk inside.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

A reliable drive, suitable for almost everything that only needs a hard drive. Looks interesting, works fine under any OS. 2 terabytes in such a meager case did not become a kind of "scourge" of this disk, because such concepts as overheating and extraneous noise are unfamiliar to him, voluminous hard was quite successfully shoved into the case. The kit includes a 46 cm cable, in principle, the optimal length for working in any conditions, there is enough length everywhere. Yes, and fast, of…

Pros
  • 1) Aluminum cover. 2) About 120 MB / s in both directions, naturally only through the new USB, and not the old standard. 3) No serious heating 4) Design
Cons
  • Marky case on the sides.

The worst purchase in my life, don't repeat my mistake

Bought as a content storage for a laptop, movies and music, a couple of simple portable games. Connected a couple of times a week, or even less often. Nothing, as they say, did not portend trouble. True, once there was an alarming bell, 8-9 months after the purchase, - it refused to be detected in the system, while clicking cheerfully. Reconnecting did not give anything and was left alone for several hours, after which it worked again, which led to calm. But one day, when copying movies, it…

Pros
  • All crossed out
Cons
  • Died 1 year and 2 months later with no warning

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

It happens occasionally that it is not determined from the first time by one laptop, but because Since such a problem occurs only with a specific machine, it should be assumed that the problem is not in the disk, but in the computer. No other cons have been identified. Speed ​​and everything else suits me. The disk is trustworthy. For different purposes, I have 3 such units, none have failed yet.

Pros
  • Design (different colors of the Seagate STDR1000. case), weight (light enough), dimensions (very compact), cord length (40 + cm), silent operation, connection indicator (a white light is on in a conspicuous place)
Cons
  • -

After buying the disc, a proprietary program for creating backups was installed on the computer. There you can specify the time after which the program will independently transfer the selected folders and files to disk. Or you can use pens. The program works great. For all the time not a single failure. The same can be said about the disk. Copies fast, searches are fast.

Pros
  • There is a lot of metal in the case. The entire upper part is made of slightly rough aluminum. The disk does not slide on the surface of the table. 500 gigs. In any case, the speed of copying data to disk remains high. Plus 200 gigs and the Dashboard program for automatically transferring the necessary data to disk.
Cons
  • I do not see.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

The speed (130 Mb/s) is normal - even higher than that of my old HDD (up to 100 Mb/s) connected via sata. The speed is certainly inferior to ssd, but it makes no sense even to compare. Like a truck and a sports car - different tasks. This drive is ideal for storing data that is not accessed very often. Not expensive and capacious storage to put things in order in the data stored on the computer and not clutter up fast ssds. Also suitable for use as a desktop computer disk. Which adds to its…

Pros
  • Adequate speed, light weight, compact size, high-quality materials and nice design, it does not heat up, it works quietly, the brand inspires confidence. And of course the price-to-volume ratio.
Cons
  • Didn't find it.

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

First of all, I was inspired to write a review by the fact that after falling onto the laminate from the height of the table, the disk works fine. I don’t know whether I fell successfully, or I was lucky, but in any case, it’s nice when the device does not fall apart from the first breath, but here there was no smell of a breath - the blow was quite full. There is no cod and something unpleasant for the ears, it cannot be said that the hard drive was not audible at all, but it is very, very…

Pros
  • Optimal memory/price/speed ratio. Aluminum cover, complete, and not just for show. Even some kind of protection against impacts is present.
Cons
  • Niece slammed him off the table, survived it perfectly. Although a small hole remains

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

Housing material: only the top plate is made of metal - the one that in other colors of this model has blue or red color. Bottom surface and four side edges made of plastic. The real total volume of the disk is 1853 gigabytes. Comes with a short cable, inconvenient to use. Length with plugs - 47 cm. Net wire length - 38 cm. The external dimensions of the disk declared in the characteristics correspond to the real ones. Very compact, lightweight - it seems that SSD)))))). Initially formatted

Pros
  • Compact, thin, lightweight. Good body materials, good build quality.
Cons
  • The included cable is too short.
