Pros: * Performs as fast as internal Hard Drive * Quiet Operation * Inconspicuous Design Cons: * Only a 1 year warranty * Lack of power button * Proprietary USB cable Overall Review: The Seagate STEB2000100 appears to be a solid offering from Seagate. Packaging was good. It has a plain exterior which blends in and the LED light is not to bright. There is venting that allows for decent cooling, I personally never saw over 45C temps during testing with extended file transfers. Performance is…

Pros: I still think this is a good drive but I dropped a star for heat problem. Cons: No fan for cooling down this drive in my opinion is going to create problems in stability in the future. I just copied a 100 gig file over to this drive and it reached 50c. I just added a fan to the top of enclosure and it is idle at 29c now.I will update at a later date with more updates. Overall Review: Still a good price for the size of this drive.

Pros: First off, it has a nice design that blends into your desk without sticking out like a sore thumb. It is extremely quiet even while transferring files. My older Freeagent drive is noticeably louder because it clicks and then spools up…this one makes no noise at all that I can hear. As far as speed, writing a large video file to the drive using USB 3.0 port bounces between 190MB/sec and 210MB/sec. Transferring the same file back to my SATA 6.0Gb/sec internal drive it bounces between…

Pros: Plug and play simple setup Internal drive: Seagate ST2000DM001 which uses 1 TB platters The activity light is a dull blue that isn’t bothersome or overly bright while in use The setup.exe file on the drive loads a page to register your drive with Seagate very easily and quickly. Performance results: Crystal Disk Mark: • Sequential: Read = 190.0 MB/s, Write = 146.9 MB/s • 512k: Read = 64.21 MB/s, Write = 95.23 MB/s • 4k: Read = 0.752 MB/s, Write = 6.547 MB/s • 4k QD32: Read = 0.638…

Pros: The Seagate Expansion 2TB USB 3.0 drive is a fantastic unit. With digital photos, games, movies, tv shows, mobile device backups, and much more to store on modern-day machines, it’s nice to know that you can plug in a drive as additional storage or for redundancy of data as is my case. This drive is advertised as working with Windows 8/8.1 but it’s a USB controller connected to an HDD so it will work with any machine with a USB port regardless of OS. The drive runs cool to the touch…

Pros: First, the basics. This is an “archive” grade disk in a plastic, fanless enclosure. It is not intended for gaming, video editing, high-demand NAS applications, etc. If that’s what you need, just go right now and search for something else. (Hint: It’s going to cost you more — that’s just how it is, you’ll have to deal with that or blame yourself when you set this drive on fire because you didn’t listen to me.) This drive is a good place to put weekly backups, old DVD images that you…

Pros: Huge amount of storage! Fast data transfer with USB 3. The drive itself is very light and quiet. The drive case has a pleasant appearance, which is nice if you plan on putting it on your desk. The drive does not get excessively hot (> 50C), even with extensive use. It comes with a 4 foot USB 3 cable. Cons: Perhaps the only real negative is the fact that it is a little bit expensive, although not for a drive of this size. 8 GB is on the high end of portable drive capacity. The other…

Pros: Sturdy packaging. It’s a hard disk drive, an item not well known for it’s tolerance for shock and impact. The packaging reflects this. Clean elegant aesthetics. The enclosure has a very nice look to it and doesn’t use that awful high gloss plastic that’s only marketable use is for collecting greasy fingerprints. The single LED DOES look nice, and fits with the uncluttered look of the enclosure, but it’s positiong is problematic (see Cons). Plug and play. Pretty self explanatory. The…
