Seagate One Touch Hub 8TB Desktop External HDD USB-C & USB 3.0 Port, with 3 yr Data Recovery Services, for Computer PC Laptop Mac, 6 Month Mylio Create and Dropbox Plan (STLC8000400), Black

Love Seagate products… been using them for about 16 years now.

Best in class... Working fine...

This one touch 10tb HDD weight is 1.1kg & transfer speed is only 185-200mb/sec but Seagate Expansion 10TB Desktop External HDD weight is 800 gram & transfer speed is 240mb/sec.

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Seagate One Touch Hub 6TB, and my experience has been very disappointing.Issues faced:1. Unusual Sound & Vibrations: The hard disk constantly emits audible sounds and vibrations, which is not expected from a premium storage device. It feels unstable and makes me question its durability.2. Extremely Slow Transfer Speeds: Initially, I get decent speeds (70–90 MB/s) for a few seconds, but it quickly drops to 300 KB/s – 1.5 MB/s, and stays there. It’s frustratingly slow and not at all suitable for transferring large files. I’ve tried multiple USB ports and cables — the issue persists.3. Unreliable Performance: For a product marketed for high-capacity and professional use, this is far from acceptable. It has caused delays in my workflow and I’m now concerned about data safety.This is the worst experience I’ve had with an external hard drive. I expected better from Seagate. I would not recommend this model unless these issues are addressed or resolved.Please return.

storage capacity is good

Best . I am writing the review after use of 3 years .I trust the drive .

If large Data storage is what you need, you cannot get better than this as of now. 20TB of data all in one place, it saves you the space of keeping multiple 4-8tb HDDs, while costing less per TB than individual HDDs. But one thing to keep in mind is that if the drive fails then all the drives are also lost at once. The best way to stay safe is having your second backup on a large capacity drive like this. That would be the best of both worlds in my opinion. Best of luck with your decisions.

Set up is easy, if you are not fully conversant then you may need a bit of help from the manual to complete some elements of the set up. It has decent storage (you get 7.3 TB in a 8TB drive) and appears to be solidly built (time will tell).The cons are:1. it is a very noisy drive2. "hub" - the C and USB outlets at the front are quiet useless. They can only be used for charging and not for connectivity and you wonder why3. It slows down substantially on extensive use. In my case I was transferring large amounts of data (around 1TB) at one time as well checking on the drive the files that were transferred in each folder. After around 0.6 TB the drive started slowing down substantially. Not clear what caused it to slow down so drastically.4. For the useful features that are available, the drive is expensive.[Update 20-12-2022]I have used this drive for over nearly 3 weeks and I am facing the additional problems:1. Whenever you choose to exit, that is when it starts to backup. This results in you waiting for hours for the backup to complete as all attempts to eject the drive shows an error that the drive is in use.2. What it backups at this time is difficult to understand3. Even if you go to Toolkit and pause the backup, this does not affect the backup activity of the drive!? This is difficult to understand - if you need to disconnect in a hurry how does one do that?
