Seagate One Touch Hub 14TB Desktop External HDD - Black

The reason 14TB drive shows in Windows as 12.7TB is because the calculation is done differently between operating systems and HDD manufacturers. Not because anyone is getting short changed.

I recently purchased the Seagate External Hard Drive, and unfortunately, my experience has been less than satisfactory. The primary issue with this hard drive is its excessive noise levels. Once it powers on, the sound resembles that of a constantly boiling kettle, making it incredibly difficult to tolerate.

Additionally, while the hard drive is compatible with iMac, it comes with a USB-C interface. This means that if you intend to use it with a MacBook or an iMac, you'll need to purchase a USB-C to Type C adapter separately.

Comparing it to my 5TB LaCie hard drive, the Seagate's transfer speeds on Apple computers are noticeably slower....view more I recently purchased the Seagate External Hard Drive, and unfortunately, my experience has been less than satisfactory.

Comparing it to my 5TB LaCie hard drive, the Seagate's transfer speeds on Apple computers are noticeably slower. However, considering its relatively low price point, it does offer decent value for money.

In conclusion, if you can tolerate the persistent noise and slower transfer speeds, the Seagate External Hard Drive could still be a viable option for you.

I have about 6.3TB of material on my computer and its various external drives. Most of it is 4K video raw footage.
I wanted to back out all up in one place. I went looking for an 8tb external drive. No joy, but PB Tech did have this 14tb drive.

It backed up my internal drives without any trouble at all. It ignored the external ones but copy and paste worked perfectly, and was easier anyway than moving drives around and plugging them in.
