    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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...

    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.

    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
      @TalkingstuffNet  6 місяців тому +2

      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.

      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.

    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.
