Review on 8TB Seagate Backup Plus Hub Desktop Hard Drive with Data Recovery Services by Amar Amar ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Second-rate goods, I wont buy any more.

Discs of this model have been purchased in two distinct places across the world. The discs were sent in their original packaging, the stickers on them untouched. Because the package was not opened at that time, there was no inspection performed at the scene. On the disk, it was feasible to write a certain quantity of data; but, after that point, the process would fail with an error message. After I reconnected the drive, it asked me to format it, but it didn't work either. There is a discrepancy between the serial number on the chassis and the serial number displayed when the Seagate DriveDetect software is used. When checked with the HDDScan tool, it is obvious that completely distinct disks are mounted inside the container, each of which has a capacity that is lower than 8 terabytes (TB). I came found storage capacities of 80GB and 500GB. It has come to our attention that imitation external hard drives of this model are now being sold. As soon as you have the package, check it in at the store.

Pros
  • There have been no reports of problems with the original discs, and they have been performing normally for the past few months.
Cons
  • Recently, counterfeit versions of this model's disks have been found for sale at major retail outlets. An unopened package with a sticker on it contains CDs that have been tampered with. Examine the discs right away after the purchase, while you're still in the shop. 1) Download the Seagate DriveDetect program and ensure that the drive number displayed in the program corresponds to the drive number displayed on the chassis. 2) Open a program on your computer, such as HDDScan, to determine which hard drive is currently installed in the device. Instead of 8 terabytes, I was given 80 and 500 gigabytes.
