Seagate One Touch Hub 14TB, External Hard Drive Desktop HDD – USB-C & USB 3.0 port, for Computer Desktop Workstation PC Laptop Mac, 6 Months DropBox Backup Plan & 6 Months Mylio Photos (STLC14000400)

This is an excellent and reliable external hard drive, that offers massive file storage space at an affordable price. I don't know what else to say, other than if you want lots of terabytes for a very decent price, get one!

Thank goodness for Seagate! WD can beat it by a hair on price, but not for well built.

I have a number of high capacity (14-16 tb) discs mostly to hold video collection. However, this caught my eye as you can set it up to do encrypted backup of whatever you want. I have a lot of cloud based material that I need offline backup. This does the job as well as supplying security on this easily accessible disc. This allows you to leave it in plain sight as possession of the disc won’t get at the content. Setup was a little bit difficult but online help is okay. You can tell it to backup continually, hourly, daily or snapshot. Annoyingly there is not an ‘on demand’ one. I don’t like the continuous as of course it will immediate backup that file you’ve just messed up, this losing the safety copy. Copy speeds are pretty fast for big files. I’ve not tried the usbC link to see if that’s faster as I had a little problem getting connected l, but full speed with the usbA, if memory serves me around 150-200 Mb/sec. Like it’s breathren, these big discs are not portable and are quite delicate, needing separate power supply. You must be careful to let them stop spinning before moving.

So far so good. Last one of these i bought was broken in the post. Too much movement probably. Keep it flat and safe.

This review is for the "one touch" 14TB hub. I bought this drive due to my 10TB getting almost full. I've been using seagate drives for years with no issue. Some reviews state they don't get the space advertised. Simple answer you do & you don't. The "B" in the TB stands for bytes. So, if you buy a 14TB drive you will get 14000000000000 bytes, so in this sense you are getting what you pay for. In another sense 14000000000000 bytes is equal to approx 13.2 TB. Same goes with all the other sizes, this is standard with most manufacturers. I can't testify to the one touch function as I didn't use it. When you first connect to a pc, click the "start here" icon. This will open your browser for the registration page. You only have to put your name and email to activate the warranty. Next it will ask you to download seagte software. I skipped this part as I didn't want the one touch back up. I prefer manual copy or transfer, especially with large amounts of data. I got an average write speed of over 200 mb/s (approx 211 mb/s). I managed to transfer 9TB of data in better than expected time. I was so impressed that I have since bought another 14TB hub. Just remember, this is a Hub so don't directly connect it to another hub or you will likely only get 25 mb/s transfer rate. Connect it to its own USB port on your PC.

I think the drive I received was a bit dodgy — I had to initialize the drive and then assign a drive letter, which I've not had to do with other Seagate drives. After a year of use the drive died, just after its warranty ended too. I've had no trouble with the 24tb Seagate drives though, so I'd recommend getting one of those over this model.

So far, so good. Excellent product choice to add extra storage to a high end gaming PC. Seagate customer service is excellent. I had a question regarding my purchase and got an immediate realtime response with a very knowledgable and friendly customer service rep. Well deserved 5 stars. The device has it's on power plug in addition to rigging it up to a PC. It's silent and has rubber feet. Mine is placed on the floor under my gaming desk. Registration was quick and simple.

just what i need to make my PC bigger in storage space

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Ware kam schnell zu mir. Der Start war sehr einfach und ich konnte gleich loslegen meine diversen Dateien darauf zu versammeln. Nur der Preis ist relativ hoch geworden, deshalb ist das der einzige Punkt einer geringen Kritik.

Este disco duro satisface lo que esperaba en cuanto a capacidad y velocidad. Lo recomiendo.

Ottimo ne ho presi 2 a distanza di mesi, fanno bene il loro lavoro!

Works as advertised but does get quite hot while editing from disk

( 2020~2021 Model ) but new Design !! perfect EXOS-X18- 18 TB ( ST18000NM000J-2TV103 18000.2 GB ) drive inside. you don't have to Shuk it to find out it's an EXOS drive... the External plastic is so open ventilated, you can see the exos label clearly !! iorny is 16TB X16 is 29K but 18TB is 28K !! The reason being this is one version less than the current STKP18000402 ( 2022 model )
