Appena arrivato l’ho messo subito al lavoro per un backup da 4Tbyte, ci ha messo 5 ore circa senza fare una piega. Alla fine del lavoro era leggermente caldo, ottima la dissipazione del calore che effettuano le forature sotto e di lato. Per sentire il rumore del disco e della testina di scrittura devi avvicinare l’orecchio all’involucro. Ora bisogna aspettare per collaudare l’affidabilità nel tempo, comunque ho già da tempo altri due dischi interni della Seagate che non mi hanno dato alcun problema.

This is one of the best deals I have got on Amazon. I was looking for a reliable storage option to pair with my Mac Mini M1 setup and I come across the 8TB version of Seagate Expansion. I have used 4TB Expansion HUB before and felt confident to go for 8TB.
I am impressed with read-write speed and the design of the Hard drive. Being a videographer and photographer I needed a solution to save large size files for hundreads of projects.
I have tried video editing with files being present of HDD and Premiere Pro just works fine. I have connected the HDD to USB-C port which will make your workflow lag free for 1080p and 4k 30fps timeline.
I got this HDD for 14K INR.

Data transfer speed is ok but not too much like Seagate backup plus hub. I think backup plus hub is best. But 4tb capacity is not available at Amazon for a long time. So, I had no any option to have big capacity. I’m waiting for backup plus hub desktop hdd 4tb to purchase again.

Llevo algunas semanas usándolo y es una maravilla, probablemente si necesito más espacio me inclinaría nuevamente por este equipo o uno con más espacio pero de la misma marca. No decepciona no consume mucha energía y gracias a qué tiene su propio regulador la velocidad de transferencia no está sujeto a la entrada USB así que lo hace el triple de rápido que una disco externo de menor capacidad.
Recomendado.

Great PRODUCT. A MUST Have for ALL.
TIP: Buy from ‘Appario Retail Private Ltd’ they ask for a reasonable price.
4 TB (‘terabyte in decimal’ NOT ‘tebibyte in Binary’) in Decimal Bit-unit so about 3,720 GB(‘gibibyte in Binary’ NOT ‘gigabyte in decimal’) in Binary Bits.
That’s why when we buy microSD Card it shows less in mobile device than what was branded for. Manufacturers use/brand in ‘decimal’ where as we all know digital computers are ‘binary’ at their core.
[This may me confusing cause mostly we say “tebibyte as terabyte” & “gibibyte as gigabyte”] {Linked Website for better understanding- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte}

It’s highly unusual that Amazon clubs the entire product stack into one review. Which means if you buy a 10TB and a 16TB, you can still only post one review. Extremely strange.
Anyway I’ve already reviewed the 16TB version back in January, and the full text of that review is below this one. I purchased the updated 10TB unit in the new chassis. Unlike the picture, the logo is static and does not glow. The indicator light is now a small white dot instead of the soft blue light from earlier. The 2.5″ drives use the same LED, so it makes sense for Seagate to use the same part.
The chassis is heavily vented, unlike the earlier, mostly closed-off design. This is a welcome change but also allows for much more dust ingress. Small insects can also comfortably enter and breed. Speeds are good, probably because of the 4-platter (?) design. It is close enough to the 16TB to comfortably recommend it, even though a 5- or 6-platter unit would be a little quicker.
I’ve posted the R/W speeds for this drive (the 16TB was already heavily reviewed so I didn’t bother). I also have the hub version of the 10TB unit that’s been in service for two years now and that is a little slower. Would really recommend using an aftermarket cable as Seagate supplies very poor quality USB cable that normally is the first part to fail. The 3.0 micro-B type connector is part of the problem, they should have switched to C long ago or retained the larger form factor B type, which is infinitely more reliable.
For Linux, the GPT table shows up corrupted and need to be fixed with gdisk. As expected, you get a bit over 9TB of formatted space (HDD manufacturers are allowed to use B but it’s actually b, so you’ve to divide by 1.024 every thousand).
There is every sort of plug you would want – an unnecessary expense and a lot of unusable plastic. Given that the 16TB cost about 26k when I got it, this is considerably lower value but after Chia and with the Chinese power crisis, prices aren’t going to drop soon.
It’s a very noisy drive, and not very portable. As a long-term archive it’s unmatched, and the very fast transfer speeds from the Exos drive within make it far less tedious to fill than most other drives.
The shipped USB cable will die in a few months because Seagate supplies a piece of string with all their external drives, so when it looks your drive is dying it’s probably the cable.
The seek noise and detection time is awful. Enterprise drives like the Exos are not designed to be turned off and noise is irrelevant in those applications, so while you get the very good speeds and assumed reliability, you also get the noise and heat that these drives produce.
The controller does shut the drive off in accordance with your power management settings, so that’s something. I will probably invest in another one soon, these are particularly good value when they’re below 25k.

4 TB (‘terabyte in decimal’ NOT ‘tebibyte in Binary’) in Decimal Bit-unit so about 3,720 GB(‘gibibyte in Binary’ NOT ‘gigabyte in decimal’) in Binary Bits.
Difference:
1 TB(terabyte) = 1000 GB(gigabyte) {in decimal}
1 TB(tebibyte) = 1024 GB(gibibyte) {in Binary}
Therefore,
1 TB(terabyte in decimal) = 931 GB(gibibyte in Binary) approx.
That’s why when we buy microSD Card it shows less in mobile device than what was branded for.
Manufacturers use/brand in ‘decimal’ where as we all know digital computers are ‘binary’ at their core.
