Seagate 2TB Portable Hard Drive | USB 3.0 (STGX2000400)

Bought this to backup my data from a PC HDD. It's plug and play with my windows 11. To transfer data i copied and pasted files and folders from my PC HDD to the ex HDD. Write speeds were 120 MB/s which is quick enough for me. I've not tested read speeds yet but i think the read speeds will be similar to the write speeds. I think the price i paid for this ex HDD is definitely worth it.

Great value portable drive. Good capacity. Easy to use. Could do with being beefed up a bit in build quality simply so it can travel better. Recommended though.

Excellent hard drive. Replacement for older drive. Plug and play worked well. No issues to date. Can recommend this drive and seller.

Bought the drive for my new Apple Mac mini computer. Does what its suppose to but be aware its not plug and play and will not work straight out of the box as it appears to be set up for windows. You need to erase the drive and reformat it with the Apple APFS format, it will then work fine. Nothing I could see in the instructions to inform you of this requirement.

Massive storage and easy to use. You may lament the time it takes to transfer files but this is a limitation of PCs, USB etc. and not of this device. Best advice is to back up all your files frequently and then keep this drive at a remote, secure location

A great plug and play drive which simply works straight out of the box on Windows

I purchased the Seagate Portable Drive, 5TB, External Hard-drive via Amazon almost 2 years ago. I've regularly copied various documents, videos, photos onto it since with no issues, (approx' 2TB worth), ensuring I always clicked on `Remove External USB Drive` before disconnecting. The drive stopped working, even though the small white powerlight was on, and I could hear the internal of the portable hard-drive spinning confirming it had power ok, but my laptop was displaying a warning that `Windows cannot recognise this device...`. I replaced the USB-3 cable with a new one, but still no joy. I tried all the Device Manager options, `Uninstall USB Driver`, Restart laptop, and other potential options, even following many steps from YouTube videos, but everything was confirming it's a faulty hard-drive. I contacted Seagate online and they were very helpful, prompt and confirmed my hard-drive was still under the `Recover date warranty`. After various tests on the device they took me through (in case it was a problem with my Windows Drivers, or other), it was then established that it was a problem with the hard-drive. Seagate provided me with a Returns Label (to post the drive to their Data Recovery Department, which I did. I was kept informed throughout and a few days later got confirmation that all my data had been successfully recovered, which was then soon sent to me on a new hard-drive. Brilliant news!! I really can't thank Seagate enough for their AMAZING customer service, smooth and prompt data recovery, and for the new hard-drive. Highly recommended and I will certainly stick to the Seagate brand.

I bought this in February 2024 and it was brilliant. Until I had an accident in January this year when it flew through thr air and hit my cube unit and it caused fatal damage. Seagate have a 2 year warranty with a data recovery plan. I was just in time. They sent me a recertified 5tb drive and then a month after sending my faulty drive off I got an email to say the recovery was successful. I got a second drive in the post with my 2.5tb data there. 96.8% was successfully recovered and the other 3.2% was there in a file called BadFiles. And all those were amongst my files on my 2tb backup drive. A very valuable service and I'm really pleased to have chosen seagate. The second drive was a 5tb PS5 game drive so now thinking about buying another drive so I can use that as a game drive.

Very happy with this purchased. The product itself was packaged very well and was protected very well.Ordered on the 15th July and was told it will arrive on the 29th but arrived 8 days earlier. The transfer speed is amazing.Now my phone and tablet has all it's memory back and I don't have to waste time looking for files to delete to create more space on them.

Aynı modelin backup plus slim olanı vardı. Kasasının üstü metal altı plastikti. Bunun ise yekpare plastik. Kaliteli hissettirmiyor ama elinizde dolaşan bir ürün de değil zaten. Bellikte Seagate kalitesini tartışmaya bile gerek yok. 2 TB alın kafanız rahat etsin.

Excelente produto, bem embalado, produto original

Works perfectly with pc and macbook and nvidia shield, upload speed at around 120 mb/s.

Wer kennt es nicht: Das digitale Leben platzt mal wieder aus allen Nähten, die Gaming-Konsole jammert nach mehr Speicher und auf dem Laptop ist kein Platz mehr für die liebsten Urlaubserinnerungen – aber keine Sorge, mit der Seagate Portable Drive 5TB zieht der absolute Speicher-Gigant im Westentaschen-Format bei dir ein! Basierend auf dem geballten, extrem positiven Feedback der Amazon-Community und diversen Tech-Portalen lässt sich sagen: Diese kleine, externe 2,5-Zoll-Platte ist ein absolut genialer Alltagsretter, der einfach riesigen Spaß macht. Man merkt sofort die **gute Qualität** der Verarbeitung und der robusten Technik, die Seagate hier verbaut hat; die Platte arbeitet flüsterleise, wird selbst bei großen Kopiervorgängen kaum warm und liefert dank des schnellen USB-3.0-Anschlusses eine richtig solide Performance ab. Die Handhabung ist ein absoluter Traum, denn das clevere Teil **passt** sich dank des unkomplizierten Plug-and-Play-Prinzips sofort jedem System an – einfach an den Windows-PC, Mac oder die Playstation anschließen und direkt loslegen, ganz ohne nervige Treiber-Installationen. Neben der brutalen Kapazität von gigantischen 5 Terabyte, auf die gefühlt das halbe Internet draufpasst, überzeugt das Laufwerk durch sein sehr **chiques Aussehen** im minimalistischen, mattschwarzen Gehäuse, das extrem edel wirkt und auf jedem Schreibtisch oder neben der Konsole eine richtig gute Figur macht. Die Community feiert in den Rezensionen vor allem das fantastische Verhältnis von winziger Baugröße zu gigantischem Speicherplatz, wodurch man seine gesamte Medien- und Datensammlung super entspannt überallhin mitnehmen kann. Wer also keinen Bock mehr auf lästiges Datenlöschen oder teure Cloud-Abos hat, sondern eine extrem zuverlässige, riesige und unkomplizierte Speicherlösung im stylischen Design sucht, macht hier alles richtig – von mir gibt es eine glasklare Kaufempfehlung für das wohl entspannteste Backup-Erlebnis überhaupt!
