Seagate One Touch 5TB, Password activated hardware encryption, portable external hard drive, PC, Notebook & Mac, USB 3.0, Space Gray (STKZ5000404)

I've had Seagate drives before and this is exactly the same, except thicker, presumably to accommodate a thicker platter. It works quietly and smoothly and I've never had to question the date transfer rate, which has been fine for me. For technical reasons these drives are generally thought best suited to periodic backups (which is what I bought it for) raher than for heavy, continuous data exchange and storage. The only tip I would offer is that if using it to save backups, with such a vast storage capacity it would be a good idea to start by setting out a clear directory structure as otherwise it soon becomes easy to lose things!

Excellent, silent in operation, easy to set up, constant reminders that it it backing up data, these are all positive features of these lightweight playing card-sized HDDs. I bought two as they are compatible with my Windows 11 computer, and do not regret my purchase. The storage capacity, after allowing for their operating software is just under 2TB, but that was already expected. If you complete the full set-up a registration process, you are protevcted by Seagate from loss of data, through their own 24/7 services. An excellent purchase that I would recommend.

Huge amount of storage space for my needs (photos, music and documents). Incredibly simple to set up and use - basically plug and play

Arrived quick and clean. Got a bit of weight to it but not heavy. And not so light that it feels fragile. Relatively fast transfer time (I'm using it for xbox one x) shame you can't play the games directly off this but have to transfer the game. Good overall product and I have a 7tb seawater already. Very good brand and affordale overall in my opinion.

I haven't had this drive very long. I'm using it as a backup disc for a Mac laptop that demanded more than 3TB for regular Time Machine backups. I had to reformat the drive, so didn't benefit from the software provided. So far it seems robust. It's small, with a strong case. It's quiet and quick in operation. I look forward to using it in the long term. I will add to this review when I've had more experience of the device.

Not the quickest of drives but reliable. I use it purely for photography so uploading bulk files it handles perfectly. I couldn't recommend it for videos due to the slow drive speeds and also you wouldn't be able to edit directly off of the drive.

Bought this to back up 700gb of photographs. It performed perfectly well and at half the cost of my equivalent SSD, this represents excellent value for money.

Perfect hard drive to save my photo collection, I’ve got three of those now and haven’t got any issues yet with them. Not the fastest but as I only use them for back up and old collection I’m not working on it’s all good. If I need to work on the file I transfer them to a faster SSD.
