Seagate Expansion 5TB Portable External HDD - Black

Does the job, no complaints. Uses a weird dual output cable to USB-B only so need to use an adapter for MacBook. Sellotaped the adapter on but the nature of the cable means it can fall out and disconnect if the laptop moves. If I was willing to spend more a USB-C drive would be better.

Easy to install and use. Needed it to transfer all my photos and files and still have plenty of space for more. perfect size for my laptop bag. Easy to install and use. Needed it to transfer all my photos and files and still have plenty of space for more. perfect size for my laptop bag.

Whether you want 1, 2, 4, 6, or larger Terabyte portable HDD's, you'll find the perfect size (at quite a good price too) in amongst these drives. I have four or five of them that I use for different jobs. Plug it in, copy across to it, then unplug it - I mean what more do you want..!! They're a bit slower than SSD storage drives but they're more convenient for storage capacity, and cost about a half to a third the price of them too.. Like I said - what more could you want...

Replacing some older externals with this for backing up my files. Smaller and faster than my previous drives. Good value for 5TB. Replacing some older externals with this for backing up my files. Smaller and faster than my previous drives. Good value for 5TB.

So simple to use. Plug it in and away you go. When you need plenty of room for your files this drive is what you want. So simple to use. Plug it in and away you go. When you need plenty of room for your files this drive is what you want.

This is a replacement for an external hard drive that seemed to give up. So far so good with this one. Nice and small and good price. This is a replacement for an external hard drive that seemed to give up. So far so good with this one. Nice and small and good price.

I usually share hard drives with foreign crew when I am on board vessels. Yet, this one I don't want to part with. I usually share hard drives with foreign crew when I am on board vessels. Yet, this one I don't want to part with.

Working as expected. Filled almost the full 5tb (though this took a while due to usb3 speeds being relatively slow). Working as expected. Filled almost the full 5tb (though this took a while due to usb3 speeds being relatively slow).
