Seagate STEB2000200 2 TB Expansion USB 3.0 Desktop 3.5 Inch External Hard Drive for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4

10 sene önce aynı markanın 1 TB ını almıştım ve çok memnundum, 10 seneden sonra ses çıkarmaya başlayınca 2 TB aldım, buradaki yorumlar da çok ses çıkardığı gibi olumsuz yorumlar vardı ama ben hiç yorumlardaki gibi ne çok gürültü duydum ne de olumsuz bir sorun ile karşılaştım. Yeni modeli eskisine göre daha hafif ve küçük. Gönül rahatlığı ile alabilirsiniz

Great quality drives. I've been using these and their previous model for running clients backup software to for the past 5 years or so. In all that time and probably over 100+ drives I've only seen one fail and that was down to it being dropped while still connected. Despite that the warranty replacement was fairly quick and painless compared to many I've had to deal with over the years despite it being user error for the fail. When first connected you can go into the root of the drive and there is a setup program to allow you to register the warranty (basically it links straight back to Seagate's main registration site) so you can do this quickly and easily - especially when registering a batch at once. Drive has a decent length power adapter cable (approx. 2 meters) and a 1 meter or so USB connector. LED light only comes on when both cables are connected and active so don't worry if it appears inactive at first with just power cable attached. Also has changeable plug for a European AC socket if you're so inclined. Transfer speeds are good and the drive doesn't weight a ton so are great for taking offsite at night for backup purposes. I also use these myself at home for storage and have one hooked up to an Xbox one for additional drive space. Ended up having to format it on a laptop first before the xbox would recognise and add it (after doing its own format) but I think that was more down to the xbox than the drive itself. Overall I couldn't recommend these drives higher for their mix of good pricing, reliability and ease of use. When buying backup drives for clients these are the fist stop we look at unless specialist (encrypted or rugged) drives are required.

You know what; you can never have enough data space these days. For years I have kept a keen eye on ensuring all my data is backed up on 2 NAS raided drives, one acting as main backup with 2 drive Raid, that then backs up to a secondary back up again with a double raid set at raid 1. Then a couple of years ago I started using Cloud data, thinking that would provide a further level of backup. well yes it does, but you are not aware that Google Drive, BOX, Dropbox and as well OneDrive all are Cloud data, but they then use your computer’s hard drive to store everything that’s on the Cloud - So you get a 1TB data space from OneDrive, but your computer only had a 500gb drive... Suddenly you find yourself in a virtual bottle-neck. That’s basically has just happened to me, where I have been using the cloud for current data, that has backed up and filled my NAS drives, causing BOTH units to FAIL!!!! I have just lost 16-years of family photos and work, for no other reason that I thought I was doing the right thing. Making regular backups. But, it all’s been a bit of false sense of security. So as my NAS drives have become full of 97.5% of its data space, the Linux partition/ data isn’t working, so I know have to OFFLOAD whatever I can to get the drives to work again. Both NAS drives have filled to their capacity and there is NO room for the OS to work, so the NAS's have shut down. === I need to Move Data Quick === The only way to get out of this problem is to move all the files out of my Media Server onto a separate disc, so as to give the NAS drive ROOM to start working again with its data, fortunate NO data has been lost; it’s just inaccessible due to data limits being hit. Likewise, I am now currently MOVING massive amounts of data on my Laptop which has a 500mb SSD drive, but again the drive has been FILLED by OneDrives 1TB of data trying to download to my computer. When I took on cloud data storage via OneDrive etc., that’s where I thought it was - in the Cloud, it is but also on my computer. So it’s not in the cloud it’s still sitting on my computer taking up data space – is this a conspiracy created by Microsoft to fill up all computers with data, making them slower and slower forcing people to buy even more drives? With everything being in the cloud, you shouldn’t need large hard drives anymore – perhaps this is where google/ chrome books have got it totally right – makes you think. === How’s this New Seagate Drive === All seems good, installation was straight forward, except that their registration website has the wrong URL, a really daft problem someone has set the URL to[...].... etc Speed wise it’s a FAST DRIVE So far its working great, now managed to offload 270GB of Films and other media off my media server, so slowly but surely getting there as having to manually download from the media sever, due to being out of data space! it’s all so maddening after 30 years working with computers to make such a mistake! Why 4-Star rating? Firstly this is a boring box, nothing special, looks unexciting - I remember when drives looked well designed, this looks like a black fire brick, oh well. also, don't liek the fact that there is no On or OFF button, I may be old, but can't remember when I have just pulled the plug on a drive unit to power it down, umm? Please bring back floppy drives, least then you knew how many disks you had used, with cloud and NAS drives you find out when it’s too late. I will come back and write UPDATES over time to further highlight the performance of this drive unit.

When first using the Seagate it proved easy to use with an easy set up, plug and go, which made moving games from my Xbox's interior storage to the Seagate exterior storage great. With the 2TB extra amount I have a massive about to add games to which I can't store on my Xbox which means no more deleting games and more addition of games in the future. Also, when they're stored on it and plugged into your Xbox you can still play the games and apps which is great always. I have used this to transport games I have digitally downloaded to friends house to play on when I don't have the physical copies and it still proves to be a seemless and easy to use. There is a little bit of noise that the device itself makes but has not been big enough of a problem to raise much fuss about and is covered by the sound of the Xbox anyway. In the end I personally believe that the Seagate storage is a quick and easy storage system that allows for the extra hoarding of more games and apps when adding to your collection of downloads. I recommend this most definitely.
