🔌 Seagate Expansion 3TB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (STEA3000400) in Black Review

I bought it as a flea market for photos and torrents, but when I saw its speed indicators, I started installing WMware WORKSTATION 15 PRO™ programs and virtual machines on it and the device works flawlessly. I advise everyone.

A few months later, data exchange began to be interrupted, i. E. you copy something to the disk, everything is ok for 2 hours, and then everything is stupidly cut down and the folders are all closed. Does anyone know what it could be?

For the convenience of storing information, I have been using external hard drives for many years. I needed a 1 TB drive, from those on the market I chose a Seagate Expansion 1 TB external hard drive (in fact, it is slightly less than a terabyte). The Seagate Expansion 1TB external hard drive met all my expectations, for its price it is an excellent hard drive for storing files outside the computer. For six months of work, there was no disconnection or failed download due to any problems…

I use MacBook and iMac, and here and there this disk is dull and slow, I use many different disks (about 10, with data), I thought about taking this one because of the good reviews, but then I realized that I could really regret it. He periodically, when working in a photo, the mechanic lags and the program loses pictures, you have to restart it or the disk itself. Out of a bunch of discs, this one and a couple more do not inspire confidence, but this is purely from personal feelings, or maybe…

The hard drive was purchased to replace several older smaller hard drives. Appointment done perfectly! Let's hope the HDD lasts a long time.

For a long time I chose from a bunch of models from different manufacturers based on reviews of reliability and speed, and finally I came to this solid hard drive! Reliability of course, only time will tell! HDD Seagate Expansion Portable 1TB Black STEA1000400

In general, not bad for the money, but the same generation of USB 1.0 has been working since 2022 and does not ask any questions about the connectors. Different pros: The device in terms of capacity, noise, speed of operation corresponds to the declared characteristics. Some cons: Does not connect to USB 1 and 2 standards at all! According to the USB 3 standard - turns on every other time! By connecting to a laptop - you have to occupy the only port of this standard.

Unbiased thoughts on this purchase.Well, at least I didn’t take any important data with me, the smart prompted in time that the kerdyk was coming soon.

My firsthand usage review.Has pros: On hand - two such discs. One of them works well, fast. Some cons: The second disk died after a while. All data - come on, goodbye! :-\

I connected it to my laptop and TV without any problems. I did not measure the data transfer rate, but everything suits me anyway, high-definition films, when connected to a TV, go without "brakes". The heating is very small, barely noticeable with the palm of your hand, the vibration is felt only if you put your hand on the disc, so there is no noise.

The hard drive looks cool, but the materials are of average quality. Transfers files quickly. The file transfer cable was in the box.

Has some pros +design + practicality + doesn't get very hot + huge amount of memory Cons below: - after a year of use, it began to be determined only in one position

With its pros. I bought a year ago as a large flash drive for watching movies in 4K, etc. on TV. No brakes are observed. Everything is clear. Now, I bought the same for the archive. With its cons. It gets hot in my opinion. If touched after watching the movie, it is quite hot.

Pros below: The price is normal, they began to make a little less in size than a few years ago Different cons: It buzzes, apparently there is a fan, if it dies, will the disk itself live, and for how long?.

Pros: Initially more or less reasonable price and well-known brand Cons: Fell off after two days. And I dumped a lot of data on it. I had to save them somehow.

Pros below: Dropped a few times - still works. Experience of use of 10 months. USB 3.0 Some cons: The cable is slightly bent, but this is rather a matter of respect.

Pros below: Good speed, a lot of material flies to the archive on these disks for 3 years already, I am 100% sure of them 20 pieces have already been used and everything is at the highest level With its cons. If crypto-currencies did not toil with foolishness, then the price would also suit

Pros: It has been working for quite a long time without interruption. Cons below: The wiring in the kit is a little short and the connector quickly began to stagger (although they pulled it infrequently, it stood like storage on a wi-fi router. Warming up.

Some pros: The cheapest 2Tb USB3.0 on the market :), silent, goes to sleep by itself, unobtrusive blue indicator Has some cons In addition to the appearance of abrasions on the protruding edges of the case for 4 months - not noticed. A short proprietary cord is not a disadvantage.

Pros: Excellent write speed - an average of 55 MB / s. Lightweight and compact, fits in a jacket pocket. Got cons: Of the alleged disadvantages - the plastic case (thin to the touch) may break if dropped.
