Ideal for when you need a lot of space.

  • a lot of space
  • plug and play
  • sleek design
  • no front USB port

All my external hard drives are from Seagate, I have a number of 10TB and now this one of 18TB (effective 16.5) and I like them very well, fast and quiet. The 10TB have a light to indicate that they are in operation and also 2 USB ports on the front, ideal for connecting USB devices, so I miss both on this one, but that doesn't diminish the drive itself of course .

Great hard drive for the price

  • Good price to capacity ratio

This is the second hard drive I've bought, the first one has been running for close to two years now without any issues. I use it daily in my NAS and works great.
