Review on πŸ’½ Black Seagate Expansion 500GB Portable External Hard Drive with USB 3.0 (STEA500400) - Enhanced SEO by Addy Itthipong ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I didn't like it, I don't recommend buying it.

Maybe I just didn't get how the software worked, but first impressions are, well, not great. As for the disc itself, it's fine. External hard disk failure, as I ate. Having recently been inserted into the computer, it abruptly stopped being recognized (before that, it once threw out a similar trick). Windows brought the hard drive back to life for 3 hours, so it was feasible to restore operating capability, but the entire vacation's worth of images, together with the backup of smartphone photos, and crucial business information, were gone. With Seagate's help, I decided to invest in cloud storage. P. S. Still, I recouped part of the files; it took me only 4 hours. Seven hours of my life and sanity were wasted on one mysterious problem.

Pros
  • Little and light hard disk. It's a pretty sight. Is surprisingly effective. Very bad dependability; see note below. First of all, let me say that I didn't accidentally damage the disc by dropping it; rather, I wore it within a case, so taking it off was always a safe bet.
Cons
  • Specifically, I needed the disk to keep my work tasks in sync, so I took it with me. On a regular basis, I conduct business while seated in my pajamas. I was relieved to find out that the manufacturer provides a downloadable tool to sync the contents of a folder on your computer with that of your hard drive. The Indians developed Seagate Toolkit as a result. In this case, I made a copy of the files on my computer and saved them in a separate folder on my hard drive. Everything seems to be in order; I was able to locate the files on the portable hard drive. I finished a piece of work and then moved it to a challenging project. Even though I can access it, I don't have these files on my internal or external hard drive. Evaporated. And the software is pleased to say that it has freed up 20 GB of space on the hard drive. A side note: sometimes the computer loaded up when I'm copying, and my conductor ends up hanging up. However, it seems. P. S.2 It could suddenly stop being detected by the system, and then, if you're lucky, you'll be able to restore the data. Why do I need a piece of software that makes that choice for me? It fails in its primary purpose, which is to save your files in a safe location on your hard drive.

The most important thing is that the data should be stored somewhere and not lost.
