Review: Smooth operation and 4TB for the price it was a bargain. - I have a linux computer so the Seagate dashboard doesnt work. However the drive was still plug and play. Plugged it in, patched it across and the window popped on the screen. Would have been very disappointed if Linux did not have great tools for doing imaging, backup and copy of files. Backed up my computer without a hitch. Despite having a USB 3.0 port on my computer it seemed to take a while to copy the files over. I suspect however that this was due to my computer and not the drive. Have only had it one day and haven't tried out backing up anything else yet. Drive is small, about the size of an ereader but a bit thicker, and sleek in design.
Review: Just needed a basic backup storage unit. This works fine. - Pros: Lots of storage for the price Quiet Seagate software allows you to set your own automatic backup schedule Makes a cool "Vrooooop" sound when I turn on my PC, which adds style points Cons: Black surface attracts grease/fingerprints, and the only way to wash it off is with a cleaning solution

- Install the provided NTFS driver for Mac and use the drive interchangeably between Windows and Mac computers without reformatting

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it noisy or loud?**
A: Haven't noticed any loud sounds

**Q: what is the drive speed?**
A: Mine is 5900 but I have heard that some have the 7200rpm drives in them.  Since it is an external and the bottleneck is the USB 3.0 (Running AVERAGE data transfer rates), I would not worry about the speed of the drive.
My 5900 Drive transferred 30Gigs of data from the External to the C drive with an Average speed of 115mb/s.  My 7200 drive (WD) transferred the same files at an average of 120mb/s.  The speed difference is within the range of the USB fluctuation.

**Q: Since this one has its own power, will this work if I have it in a dock and I'll have my computer be plugged in and out from the dock w/o ejecting?**
A: No! Because it not a WiFi or Bluetooth back drive!

**Q: Is this compatible with os sierra for the mac**
A: Should not be a problem.  If for some reason they format it for windowz, just re-format it using "Disk Utility" on your mac.

### ⭐ Drive Failed on Day 1
*by R***N on February 3, 2017*

I wouldn't purchase this again. I purchased this external hard drive and started transferring media. After transferring almost 1TB, the external started making a clicking noise and was no longer recognized by my notebook. It wasn't listed as being connected. I tried many different utilities to get it to see the drive with no success. THANKFULLY, I did not cut and paste my media but just copied it to the drive - therefore I still had the data. I mailed the drive back to Amazon and am glad that Amazon was so good about the return which was done 2 days later. A lot of reviews listed the Seagate 4TB as a very reliable drive. It was lauded on several different independent sites, including my favorite: wirecutterDOTcom. My experience might be a fluke. I was, in fact, replacing a 6 year old Western Digital My Cloud drive with this one. In light of the failure of this one, I can't say as though I have a lot of faith in the brand. I ended up purchasing a 4 bay NAS drive so that I would have data redundancy as I don't want to lose any of the media. It was more expensive than buying an external like this Seagate Backup Plus but peace of mind prevails. Since a NAS device is just a processor box, you might ask what brand of drives did I choose for the 4 bay NAS? Well, I chose (4) 2TB Western Digital Red drives. It's because of this bad experience with Seagate. Again, it might have just been a fluke/bad drive but it was disappointing.
