Seagate One Touch Hub 8TB, External Hard Drive Desktop HDD – USB-C & USB 3.0 port, for Computer Desktop Workstation PC Laptop Mac, 6 Months DropBox Backup Plan & 6 Months Mylio Photos (STLC8000400)

Does well. Transfers to device are fast a long as on USB3. No problems with it at all. UPDATE:01/09/2024 Drive lost the partition suddenly. Was working fine, then gone :( Contacted Seagate and have all the required details to return it to Holland. Now to find a box and 4 inches of foam! Seagate have told me they will attempt recovery of the files and put to a new internal hard drive and replace this drive. Seems fair enough and also warned it could take 6 weeks or more. I have software that can recover a failed drive but it was unable to read an awful lot of files so purchase EASEUS Data recovery (using a discount code for £75 lifetime licence with updates for life) and this was a life saver. Bought another 8TB internal Seagate drive from amazon to transfer the files to. All going well. There are a few files that have been damaged but can download them again. The concern is why these files are damaged. They seem to be 'scattered' parts of files with no details of what or who they belonged to. Had no problems at all with customer service, used the main Seagate website to contact support. One single adviser who was very good. Edit: 07/09/2024 Reformatted drive. Drive initially very slow to transfer files and I mean like 1.2mbps, really slow. Decided to move disk across to my smaller Windows 11 computer which I also purchased some time ago from Amazon, Nipogi, it has not missed a beat since and works very fast. Downside is there must be a USB controller problem on my old desktop. Decided against returning the drive to Seagate as I got all the files off perfectly with the EaseUS software.

This is a very nice piece of kit. The good point being the large storage capacity but don't expect the world when it comes to speed as it doesn't read data at anywhere near the speeds of my SSD . For the money it's very nice but as others have said you can't load data onto it directly via the usb and that's my only down point

I purchased this 10TB Seagate One Touch Hub in December 2024. Precisely four days after the standard 1-year warranty expired, the drive began to fail catastrophically. This is not a standard drive failure where the disk simply stops mounting. This device has become a threat to my system's stability. It is causing the internal USB Bus Controller on my Mac Mini to freeze, triggering full system crashes (Kernel Panics). The specific error log (apcie[1:pcie-xhci]::handleCompletionTimeoutInterrupt) confirms that the drive’s controller is timing out and locking up the Mac's entire USB interface. The instability is so severe that it caused conflicts with other peripherals; my microphone (a Blue Yeti) began showing "ghost" connection errors solely because this drive was jamming the USB bus traffic. I am now in a delicate data rescue situation, trying to recover 3.4TB of data from a drive that crashes my operating system if stressed. A backup solution should not put your computer’s hardware logic at risk. I cannot recommend this product for macOS users.

Got it to backup and archive my videos and editing projects from various SSD’s. Tried using the software provided by Seagate to copy all the files and it was horribly slow and failed mid copying from an SSD so had to format and do everything all over again. Later tried just drag and dropping to copy the files and managed to copy 1TB in about 2 hours. Obviously slower than modern SSD’s which I’ve gotten used to but for the price am very happy with the amount of storage and speed. Hopefully lasts long enough, will edit review if any issues occur.

Reliable and fast

Very good drive with plenty of storage I went for the 8TB Drive and am very happy with the performance its very quiet in use and seems to read and write very quickly it has a USB hub on the front so effectively it does not take up a USB socket on the PC I am very impressed with this drive so much so that I bought a second one in my opinion its well worth taking a look at if you are planning to upgrade your storage

It turns itself off very often when temporary unused and then restarts again what makes it rather slow in those moment's . When it’s already started works really well it’s responsive and perfect for storing big amount of small files looks like it’s made for this. If you need something for storage old files only worth buying but if you need something responsive it’s not your product . It’s also pretty noisy like old fashioned hard drives . Installation was easy you just plug it in thru usb and it’s there ready for use like a pen drive just bigger.

Being a photographer, I am in regular need on backup drives. I saw this 10tb drive on Amazon for around £195 and it seemed to fit the criteria. I managed to buy a seller returned item so it only actually cost me £135 so I bagged an absolute bargain. Impressions... Looks great, is mains powered so has a built in fan to keeps things cool. Has a USB 3.0 and a USB-C slot on the front too, so I can plug in card readers.etc I did need to format this to exFAT for it to work. I'm not sure if that's because of this drive or if its because its a seller returned. Either way, no biggy. Overall, as hard drives go...I'm pleased.

It's works like it should be have no issue yet.hipe fully it does not fail in future. Review is after one month oh constant heavy usage.

Ik Heb de 6TB variant aangesloten op een Synology NAS als backup doel. Niet vooruit te branden en de hele Synology wordt traag. De meegeleverde USB kabel vervangen door een korter en dikker exemplaar lost deze problemen op! Snelheid ging van 3MB/s naar 100MB/s

Does exactly what I bought it to do.

Nice affordable external hard drive. I use it as my Mac's Time Machine back-up disk and it works really well. The One Touch drive is generally very quiet, but ever since I own an iMac M3 I got spoiled when it comes to true silence: the iMac literally makes no sound at all. The One Touch drive is a bit noisy in comparison. On a wooden desk its inner vibrations get a bit amplified, resulting in a quiet low hum, but only when the drive is not sleeping. I have put a rubber mouse pad under it and with that the hum is completely gone. I can barely hear the drive any longer, only a very very soft buzzing (of what I think is the cooling fan) at times. The two USB ports on the front are welcome and do their job. How the drive will hold up in the future, if it will be reliable and durable has to be seen, but I think it will be just fine.
