I had purchased a 5 TB Seagate Backup portable plus external hard drive around a year back, being a SMR drive it starts getting slower as it fills up. With around 6+ terabytes of video data to backup, I needed an external backup solution which doesn’t take years to copy to. While searching through amazon The Seagate Expansion 16TB Desktop External HDD popped up by chance. A little more research into the drive and I found a Secret so surprising, I’ll tell you about it in this video.

Thanks for making this video! I had been considering getting one after the Backup Plus Hub was discontinued (I actually used the hub on those!). (1:07) That's one thing I like about Seagate external desktop hard drives, as my use case involves travelling to different countries with one in a checked-in bag and I prefer to just swap out the plugs instead of using plug converters where possible.

Very Informative Video, Thank you very much 🙏

@antikoerper256 2 года назад

Great insight, Im a fan of Seagate - still rock my old 2TB HDD, my 4TB SSD is almost filled up, will consider either this or some other by Seagate, but thanks for the information!

@glenesis 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I look for this info too. For the info of your viewers, the Seagate Expansion 8TB I just purchased today has a drive model ST8000DM004-2CX188 which is an SMR Seagate Barracuda Compute. It makes me sad. It's less expensive to buy a Barracuda and a 3.5" drive case. WD Blue budget hard drives are CMR. Have a great day!

If the drive is plugged in to a electrically powered USB hub with it's own power adaptor, is the power adapter still required for the drive to work? Thank you.

@OUTLAWBRIAN 8 месяцев назад

Will this plug into the USB port on my 4K tv and work?

Buen Video, Este disco duro al estar en funcionamiento es ruidoso o no?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

es un ruido audible cuando se ejecuta.

@Breone Год назад

I bought this and it’s very slow and there are a lot of people complaining about how the drive fails early. Definitely look at the reviews before you buy products as this product is not very good… I’m sending mine back.

@Mr.Pro55k Месяц назад

What was it's speed?

@raghavbhalla177 2 года назад

Does the 12tb version also have the same drives (exos) ?? Edit- ended up buying it, and it does! Only 12TB and bigger storage ones come with exos while below 12TB ones come with iron wolf/other Seagate drives.

@wings.on.wheels Год назад

do you keep your hard drive ON all the time or you disconnect it after your file transfer or when not used ??

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

I connect it only when i need to take backups, mostly it's kept safe away from the system.

@TRUTHorSTFU 8 месяцев назад

As you said, the drives Seagate throws into these enclosures are expensive drives that have flaws BUT NEED TO BE SOLD SOMEHOW, soooooooo.... problem solved: shove the defective drives into cheap enclosures and sell them off. These Seagate Expansion drives have 5% 1 STAR rating for a reason and now you know!

@AGNDJGaming Год назад

Do you know if we can upgrade to a USB Type C cord, or can we only use the type A that came in the box?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

It has a proprietary connector on the HDD which cannot be changed, but you can convert the usb-a to usb-c using an adapter if you need to connect to a laptop.

@jotirlingswami4426 Год назад

Hi Sir, Your videos are very good and informative. Please use fresh color background it will be nice.

@newbreedian Год назад

Awesome, this might be the next drive for me. I didn’t see a review a month later on your channel. How is it holding up?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

Still my main backup drive, i only remove it to backup new edits then store it in a safe location.

@newbreedian Год назад

@@TalkingstuffNet perfect, thank you! I’ll do the same. I really appreciate your thorough review and your prompt response. You just got yourself a sub :)

@j7m7f Год назад

Exos drives are helium filled what increases hailur rate after few years, as helium gets out of the disk and air is comming in. I cannot believe they did put it into an external storage drive...

@ApoorvPradhan 2 года назад

That's crazy, the same drive selling for 38K as internal and 28K as external !! Really nice device, I also have a portable WD my passport HDD, and it also provides the same speed (120MB/s while copying). Great buy 👍🏻

Hi, was it showed as STKP16000402 model when you purchased it?

@StormRaid417 6 месяцев назад

As video games get more complex graphically, I am thinking about ditching the hard drive and going all in on internal ssd storage. Hard drived don't take advantage of your internet speed full potential. On my internal ssd I get 400mbps all the time. On both my external hard drive and internal hard drive I get between 50mbps and 200mbps and it always jumps around when downloading a game. Hard drives aren't bad for older games but it's 2024 and games now need that ssd.

@TalkingstuffNet 6 месяцев назад

This drive is more for backup. Ssd's have a limit to how many times it can be written to, terabytes or petabytes written as per capacity. Platter based hdds are better at lasting if kept safe. For performance while running games and apps a nvme ssd is much better.

@izackmills3628 Год назад

Can this be used with the Xbox one or Xbox series X/S? (Thank you in advance)

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

It can be connected as an external backup storage, but the xbox won't allow it to be used as a game drive.

@johndoddato2662 Месяц назад

Can this drive be used laying on its side to prevent it from falling over accidentally when sitting on my desk?

@TalkingstuffNet Месяц назад

It can be used flat (laying down) or even vertical. When flat it won't fall as easily.

@journeywithdp 10 месяцев назад

Can I use this drive 24 x 7 with a work station?

@TalkingstuffNet 10 месяцев назад

You can, but more meant to be a backup drive. It's not very fast to work off of for editing, but for word, excel etc it's fast enough.

@Jota__007 Год назад

Can u access the data via wireless? With Bluetooth. Or do you always have to connect with cable?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

We can access it via the cable only.

@isaiahaldam6711 Год назад

Is this better than a Lacie?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

Seagate Exos drives are pretty good. Lacie is Seagate's premium brand.

How to use recover data option?

@TalkingstuffNet 2 года назад

You will need to contact Seagate for data recovery.

@raphael9045 2 года назад

Will it work for PS5 console

@TalkingstuffNet 2 года назад

As a backup external drive, yes it will. But you cannot play games off this drive as it's much slower than ssd's. You can move games to this drive to make space to install new games in your main drive.

@davidlion4482 Год назад

does it support India plug ?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

Yes it does I've shown the plugs at 1:06 in the video.

Can you lay this flat rather than keeping it upright?

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

Yes, it can be laid flat too.

@ritwiksondhi Год назад

The transfer speed is pretty disappointing. For the last year I have been using a bunch of WD 18TB My Books, the average transfer speeds I get are between 175 to 190 MB/s. WD has definitely cheaped out with the built quality, the plastic makes a squeaky sound but hey you don't roam around with desktop drives.

how to I find the what is inside hard drive

@TalkingstuffNet 8 месяцев назад

Use a software like crystal disk info and find the serial number. Search for that serial number on Google and you'll find which drive model you have.

@naveenkumartinku 8 месяцев назад

thanks for reply this is my model STKP8000400 but i cant find

You need to find the serial number of the drive within, which you can find using software like crystal disk info.

You want to add more than 16 TB ? But it's not possible to add another drive.

@@TalkingstuffNet Me thinking I can change that. Me at the same time smashes like the green hulk the whole thing and then just add a new disk to it. Me very happy. 🤌🏻🤙🏻

@Jareknphotography Год назад

The drive sucks, keeps on going to sleep too often, the software that should allow you to change the sleep time is mentioned on Seagate's support page but no download link for it exists...

@TalkingstuffNet Год назад

I use this drive only for backups, and keep it to the side safe once files are copied. For high capacity fast drives I use a Nas instead.

@khankhaaaan 9 дней назад

Great video! So I have a question, a usb 2tb drive that I have keeps connecting and reconnecting repeatedly on different pc.. Any idea what might be the problem?

@TalkingstuffNet 9 дней назад

Try changing the cable, maybe it's damaged or try another port on the laptop/desktop.
