Fast USB 3 speeds. Why not USB C.
4 Stars
Fast USB 3 speeds. Why not USB C.
I am using this to run a second OS I have it attached to my USB 4 type C port with an adapter.It is fast for a spinning hard drive. It is nice to have 5 TB when you are using multiple Large Language Models (local Chat GPT) as each model can be from 2 GB to well over 30 GB. This way I can experiment without hosing the main system on my PC. Also with lots of reads and writes it would kill a SSD. This should last years.My only complaint is the cord it is only about a foot, and the use of a micro USB 3 type B connector (see photo) on the drive end instead of USB C port in 2024. There is no reason to be using this old style of port when everything is going USB C. This either means I need to buy an extender cable. Or buy a cable that will have no use beyond this drive. This is not a "green" thing. When I have to carry an extra cable that is essentially a single use. Please a 3 foot cord, and use a common connector like USB C that can provide not only the power but has the ability to use speeds much faster than this drive can ever reach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and Versatile - Seagate Portable 1TB External Hard Drive
Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2023
The Seagate Portable 1TB External Hard Drive has been an absolute lifesaver for my storage needs. Its combination of high capacity, portability, and compatibility makes it an essential device for anyone in need of extra storage space.

The 1TB capacity is the standout feature of this hard drive. It offers ample space to back up important files, store a large collection of media, or even extend the storage capabilities of gaming consoles. As a professional who deals with large multimedia files, this has been a game-changer for me, ensuring I never run out of space.

Speed and performance are exceptional. The USB 3.0 connectivity provides fast transfer rates, significantly reducing the time spent on file transfers. This efficiency is vital for my workflow, allowing me to move large files quickly and effortlessly.

Its plug-and-play functionality enhances its user-friendly nature. There's no need for complicated setup procedures; it's a simple matter of connecting the drive to a PC, Mac, PS4, or Xbox, and it's ready to use. This versatility makes it a fantastic choice for a variety of users, from professionals to gamers.

The design of the Seagate Portable HDD is sleek and compact. The small footprint and lightweight build make it incredibly portable, fitting easily into a bag or even a pocket. The black color scheme gives it a professional look, and the build quality feels robust and durable.

Another significant advantage is the 1-Year Rescue Service. Knowing that there's professional support available provides peace of mind, especially when dealing with important data.

In conclusion, the Seagate Portable 1TB External Hard Drive is an excellent product that offers reliability, speed, and convenience. Its cross-platform compatibility and portability make it an ideal solution for a wide range of storage needs. I highly recommend this hard drive for its outstanding performance and value, truly deserving of a 5-star rating.
