I had issues with my external hard drive. One single tweet had the customer service team on top of the problem and a resolution was come to in roughly 20 minutes. Amazing work, would recommend their products

Best Hard Drives on the Market!
May 12, 2021

I've been using this company's hard drives for as long as I can remember! I always go back to buy their products mainly because I like the design and it's very durable. It's design is nice and sleek and I've never had any problems with them. The cords are nicely wrapped so you won't have to worry about them breaking off (like some phone chargers...)

I'm a filmmaker and I also take a lot of photos so of course need a lot of storage. These BIG capacity and LIGHTWEIGHT hard drives a MUST for me.

There have been times when I'm editing (not on a desk) and I accidentally unplug the hard drive. Thankfully every time I plug it back in the items remain and don't disappear.

I usually buy their 2TB but I do have one of their 5TB ones and I seriously love them. Highly recommend!

The Seagate Barracuda is my #1 preferred hard drive type when it comes to computers. Everyone swears by WD but not me, I have had much better luck with Seagate then any other manufacture when it comes to hard drives. My first love was Quantum Fireball back when they made drives for non business as well because I know I must have reformatted my 20GB more then 1K times in the time I used it & it never failed just bigger drives came out so I moved on.

I love Seagate & I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good quality drive.

I never expected to be "taken" by a corporate/computer peripherals giant like Seagate but I was wrong. Anyway, it looks like I've again "been taken" by corporate "double-speak" in a Seagate advertisement that insinuated that if I bought one of their mega-storage units (called Central), I would also be protected via mirror-like storage on their cloud service. Boy was I wrong. And of course, you don't realize this until a problem happens. Which of course it did.
I did not expect that from Seagate. As a huge corporation I thought you were beyond taking "change" away from thier clients. But I guess every penny helps when you are spending billions on acquisitions. So where else to get the funds but from their stupid, ignorant, non-legalese educated existing clients.
What you (and in this case Seagate) do is make an exceptional offer for a piece of obsolete (or soon to be obsolete) equipment; wrap it up in a lot of goobledygook concerning protection in the cloud; and sell it to your best idiot clients.
Unfortunately, I'm now stuck with another piece of Seagate garbage that I will have to get rid of somehow.
I've no use for yet another hard drive no matter how large it is, when I'm trying to consolidate the 30-40 or so hard drives that I already have from my old computers.
What a joke! And again it's being played over and over again on unsuspecting and gullible clients of this mega-monster.
If you have other choices - use them.

Two recently purchased Seagate 4tb external hard drives have failed. Will never buy this brand again. Will stick with Western Digital.
