Works As Expected

The media could not be loaded. Performs as expected form a hard disk,[Test Results and hardkdisk photos in Images]Physical: It's light weight and small size (smaller than palm)The case is of okayish quality, if you press on it, it gets flexed maybe they should have made it a bit strongerthe cable quality is goodIt comes in a single box with HDD and cable no additional case/cover includedStorage Capacity: 931GB (10,00,17,05,86,112 bytes as reported by File Explorer Windows) which is exptected from a 1TB driveSince many people were complaining its not 1000 GB or 1024GB, windows will show different capacity then what a manufacturer advertise, you can look up on google on how that worksIn short the 931GB is what you'll get from a 1TB drive(any drive not just this one)Performance: As expected in a HDDSpeed is as expected for a HDDCrystal Disk Mark testThe first speed test i ran the write speed was slow but reconnecting it again it was goodSpeed tests are in images, for comparision i included benchmark of my internal drive as well{E drive: Seagate , D drive : My internal drive} both of 1TBWhen the drive is busy writing reponse time jumps upto 15 secondsThey are both similar in terms of speed so no complaints thereTest 1copying ~3.5gb files of different sizes from 100KB to 200MBTook around 2 minute, avg speed of 25MB/s (write), there was some fluctuations when transfering smaller filesTest 2copying ~200GB folder with .mp4 files (all files over 500MB)Avg speed 100MB/s (write), the speed stayed pretty much the sameNote: Sometimes it gives only 26MB/s write speed and other times over 100MB/s write speeds and i cant figure out why it does that, all my ports in the laptop are USB 3.1 gen1 so idk why the speed difference is there maybe some connection issueConnector : Its a USB A to USB micro B superspeed connector, the cable length is ~40cm which is okay and cable and pin quality is goodTemperature : after a few tests the case became warm to touch or 45C as reported by softwareIts idle temperature is around 38C~39C at room temperatureWhen plugged in computer there is a slight vibration if you hold it(which is fine), but no significant noise when reading or writingThis is a short term test, i will update the review if anything happends regarding the driveAs of now the the purchse for me was worth it, i bought it for INR 4899 during great indian festival sale

Not 5 TB.

Have a few Seagate products. They have always been reliable.Only this I didn't like was the fact that they advertised it as a 5TB product when at best you can describe it as a 4.5 TB capacity.

A compact external hard drive which is easy to use, does not heat up, fast, good quality and great value for money.

Budget Friendly

Under 5k it's More than Satisfactory. Good quality, not large size which I was thinking before buying and compatibility with linux, windows and MacOS. Not Heavy Weight, Recommended to you buy a cover separately to protect it from Damage, Currently I bought Sounce Hardisk Cover which completely fits the disk and have enough storage too.

Working good.

Working good. All my previous 2tb drives are gonr within one week of copying data and after replacement also same problems, all with USB pin on drive end and very stiff cable.This one working fine from last 6 months. Now a days drives are not reliable, 15 years back Seagate drives of 500 and 1 tb are so reliable, i still use them.Defineley u need data backup.

Decent Storage with Good Warranty, But Pricey and Slow

I recently purchased this 1TB hard disk which is light weight. My main reservation is the high cost; I feel the price should be lower for what it offers. As I anticipated, the transfer speeds are quite slow, so it's not ideal for frequent, large transfers.On the positive side, it comes with a generous warranty period, which provides some peace of mind. Crucially, I believe it's safe to store important files on it, which is the primary purpose of a hard drive. Overall, I'd say it's an okay product for bulk storage, provided you're aware of the slower speeds and higher price point.

Worst Product, Worst Service, Worst Experience Ever – Stay Away!

I purchased this hard drive on 13th June, and on 14th June, I already knew it was a complete disaster. The product was defective right out of the box. I did every possible test – everything listed on Amazon and even more. Nothing worked.Now, here's where the real nightmare began – returning this garbage. You can’t return it online unless you get a denial letter from Seagate. But guess what? The phone number mentioned on Amazon is WRONG. You can't contact them. I called Amazon customer care and told them the number doesn’t work. They gave me another number and an email ID. The number also didn’t work and the email has been ignored completely – not even a basic reply.I called again. They lied and said my return window was extended and I just had to wait. I called again later – another lie – they told me they’d raised the issue for me and Seagate would respond. Still NOTHING.One customer service agent had the audacity to say I should submit the product to a Seagate service centre myself – which doesn’t even exist in my city! That’s right – they expect the customer to waste their own time, money, and effort for a defective product.Every customer care representative gave me different stories, all full of lies. Today is 28th June and I still have NO solution, NO return, and NO clarity. I’m stuck with a useless piece of junk and the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with.This entire experience has been frustrating, infuriating, and insulting. Do yourself a favor – DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. DO NOT TRUST THE SUPPORT. Once you buy it, you’re on your own.
