[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was absolutely amazing! I am starting the Fall semester for college and I needed something that was going to give me more space in my laptop. This little thing did ALL of that and MORE! I am now worry free about running out of space with my school laptop. It was super easy to inert and use. I was able to save all of my work and have plenty more of space to add more things as well. I am so happy with this product. I recommend it to anyone looking to free up space on their laptop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an amateur photographer and I like to shoot in the raw format, the downside to that is file size. That's where the Seagate Expansion Desktop 16TB hard drive comes in handy, not only does it have more than enough space for my photos and videos, but the transfer rate is awesome. No more burning discs or uploading to the cloud, this external drive allows me to press the shutter button without worrying about filling up my main drive with raw files. Overall, a great high quality product with a great value. A perfect investment for those looking to back up their work/files in a safe and secure manner. Highly recommended.

Its been easy to set up and get started with it. I am excited to have almost unlimited space. one time purchase, not subscription that's a relief

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing! I dont need to worry about deleting games anymore from my computer. 16 TB and it is very fast! The design is just beautiful and the case looks like high quality so its beautiful sitting next to my pc. Been using it for almost a week now and no problems with it. Feels pretty realiable so I can backup alot of my work in here. Definitely a recommend must have for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have mixed feelings about this Seagate Expansion Desktop hard drive. On the one hand, at 16 TB capacity, it is a data hoarder's paradise. It can easily store several years worth of data and still have room left over. I also like the sleek textured interior and it's relatively small footprint. However, transfer speeds could be a bit better considering it's a USB 3.0 hard drive. Copying a 10GB file took me almost five minutes with a speeds averaging 35 MB/s to 42 MB/s which is far below USB 3.0 speeds. Theoretically, USB 3.0 is supposed to give you a 5 Gbps (gigabits per second) throughput which translates to 625 MB/S (megabytes per second). Even in the real world, USB 3.0 speeds average around 80-90 MB/S. It's not a big issue for me, but it is something to keep in mind. My bigger concern is that the hard drive is making low rumbling noises once in a while which makes me concerned about its true longevity, so I would definitely go the extra step and make a backup offsite, preferably in the cloud, just in case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With being an avid picture taker, and running out of storage on my laptop I set out to find extra storage and ended up choosing this expansion desktop. With the storage space being 16TB, there are no worries about running out of space anytime soon. This Seagate expansion desktop comes with different outlets for different plug ins, it is very versatile and will fit many different ones. Once plugged into my laptop a blue light flashes on the top of the black expansion box letting me know it is ready for work. Adding photos to the expansion was simple, easy and to the point. I created a folder under the seagate folder, clicked the pictures I wanted to add, clicked on the seagate option, and it instantly loaded into the expansion drive with ease. It was a fast transfer, little to no wait time, and I'll be rest assured my files are saved, making my computer more efficient and less cluttered. The expansion gave me a free adobe creative cloud with photo editing for one year, it comes with peace of mind and back up assistance in case the expansion breaks, faults, or stops working my files will still be able to be retrieved. This unit is small, compact, lightweight, and it does not seem to get hot while plugged in.
