Capacity: 1 TBColour: RedVerified Purchase

I hate writing bad reviews but this worked ok for 9 months then the driver reading and writing heads failed and I’ve has to send it off for data retrevial. It was in warranty but Seagate were incredibly unhelpful. You have to go through their labs to get another drive (which I don’t want), .it cost £50 and then another £220 to possibly get my images back. Wouldn’t recommend.

Very disappointed with the performance of this product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2018

Capacity: 4 TBColour: BlackVerified Purchase

Very disappointed with the performance of this product. Also that I have to foot the bill for shipping this back to Seagate, what a farce. The drive lasted only 4 weeks before issues started happening, I would go into a folder of images and find that some of my RAW files or JPEGS were unreadable and then I started getting errors saying the drive was corrupt. I have other drives that were working, only this one was causing the issues. Editing images that were on the drive rendered my whole PC unusable. Customer help at SEAGATE initially blames me using Win XP as the issue (I don't, I have windows 7 and it's a fresh install, not an upgrade) Then it was possibly some other piece of hardware to blame, yet all the other drives worked. Eventually, they said I could return it for a free replacement, (yep I'm having to pay the postage and I already paid over £100 for the drive) so I hardly think it's a free replacement. When trying to clear the folders that are already on the drive, it won't even let me delete those so information that should be private will now be in the hands of SEAGATE.

Not good. Not good at all. Colossal unknown malfunction - loss of 1.5TB data.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2017

Capacity: 2 TBColour: SilverVerified Purchase

This hard drive failed on me with colossal consequences.

I lost 1.5TB data, pictures, music, movies, work files.

Do not know the cause - it wasn't knocked, or dropped. It was merely connected to my computer and had (what sounds like) a mechanical malfunction. Drive now clicks clicks clicks and does not get recognised by the computer.

I have had it looked at (taken apart - I know this voids the warranty) by a specialist and they said they told me to send it away to a data recovery specialist - which i have done.

Still waiting to hear back to see if my data is recoverable.

Dont think I will be using Seagate again - not very impressed at all.

Unreliable - don't buy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2018

Capacity: 1 TBColour: BlackVerified Purchase

I need to use this new Seagate hard disc - now purchased 4 months ago - but it doesn't work. No power light. Nothing. And I have no idea why. But it's got my powerpoint files on it. And Amazon give zero options for return or warranty repair. So it's £48 down the swannee with a few files on it. I have no idea what to do. I didn't need to use it other than once when it was first purchased - but I do need to use it now. And it's dead as a dodo. And nothing it seems I can do about it.

A year later with very little usage and it seized up on me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2017

Capacity: 2 TBColour: BlackVerified Purchase

I had experienced this issue a few times, but had problems with my PC at the time. I have drives which work perfectly fine and have no error rates. I did a clean fresh install of Windows 10 recently and have a stable system. None of my other drives have any errors (I checked with software) and were still functioning properly when the portable broke. It seized up unexpectedly when trying to undo a movement of a large amount of files. It only just occurred to me today after it seized up, this always happened when I'm copying/moving files within the drive itself, but it always worked after a reboot. This time the drive wasn't accessible. In Disk Management it simply said it was 'unknown'. Tried other USB ports, same issue. The drive was active with no rattling or odd noises and the indicator was working, and simply gave me the 'Request Failed Due To A Fatal Device Hardware Error' when I tried to initialize. And then it didn't even give me the option ever again. Brilliant.

AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR, IT SEEMED THAT THESE DRIVES WERE USELESS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2018

Capacity: 4 TBColour: BlueVerified Purchase

I will not be the first purchaser of these drives (I purchased two, in November 2017) to write about the fact that despite no movement of either of the drives (they just sitting out of the way and being used as back-up to my main laptop) both of them now have issues beyond reasonable recovery and, as such, I now have to fork-out another £200+ for a new pair of drives!
Should have been suspicious from the outset, with the standard guarantee only being valid for two months; unless, of course, you purchase additional cover for an extra £20+ per item!
Two international names SEAGATE and AMAZON are linked with this purchase, and I now no longer trust either of them.
LISTEN! If you want External Hard Drives that are dependable, I would suggest that these are not the ones to purchase or trust in.
I am not the first to write a negative report for this devices, and I doubt I will be the last.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
- Also: Seagate Limited Warranty - If you would like data recovery performed on your drive, IT IS AVAILABLE FROM SEAGATE AS A SEPARATE SERVICE FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE . Seagate warrants that repaired or replaced products are covered for the greater of either the remainder of the original product warranty or 90 days.
- Quote from staff member of a well-known PC retailing firm - "the small external drives are far more prone to failure...."

23-Oct-2018:
Update to the above, and to the response from Seagate....
With regard to the warranty, I quoted from information provided on the page at the time of purchase. Being Seagate, I never expected any issues within a matter of months, never mind a year or two.
For Seagate to respond to this is good, and not unexpected, but should it really be necessary to go to such lengths with any "new" product? Clearly, looking at the 1* reviews (14% of purchasers) there must be issues that need addressing? Yes/No?
I presume YES, given the high % in this case, so, why is it that the item is still available?
Would it not make commercial sense to withdraw these drives, if only to protect the reputation of the manufacturer?
When my two drives failed it was over a period of a few days, first one, then the other.
At least one of them had been "ticking" inside at times; I have my theories as to what that was, but lack the confidence to express them in technical terms!
Fortunately, as both were in sync with each other, I was able to copy from the working one on to another NEW drive (WP) and thereby prevent a complete wipe-out of 2TB of data!
I am not technically minded when it comes to IT but I can cope with most of the basic stuff, such as this.
So, when I see messages saying "unable to read drive" and "0 bytes" I assume that all is not well.
Carefully isolating the drives, and then reconnecting made no difference.
They were stored "under the desk" as redundant, with the new WP drive now in place.
A few weeks later, out of curiosity, I took the opportunity of connecting one of the "failed" drives to another PC elsewhere and...... surprise, surprise, it kicked-in and all the data appeared, without exception.
Pleased with the result of that chance reconnection, I tried the other one as well...... success!
So, now, since the end of September, the two previously "failed" drives sit back on the shelf behind the laptop, permanently positioned, never disconnected, never moved, as quiet as church mice, retaining all of the information, just as I would expect them to do.
Now, whether they are behaving themselves as a consequence of the new WD unit towering over them can only be guessed at, but, all three sit comfortably alongside each other, doing what I would expect them to do, and nothing else!
As a finale to this chapter, I would say that I currently have another, much older Seagate drive, under the technicians scrutiny, which also failed (albeit a few years ago) after "ticking" was heard, and the message "0 bytes" appearing on my screen. Six weeks ago, being desperate to see my 2010 photographs (not on any other drive, sadly) I decided to spend some money to try and get them recovered. I am still waiting for a result on that one, but I live in hope.
For all of this, I would now look at names other than Seagate, relying on feedbacks given to products and making a purchasing decision accordingly. After all, I now have an extra external drive at an additional cost of £100 that, now, I perhaps did not need?
I never did fancy taking part in Russian Roulette!
