    HEATS UP A LOT!

    Seagate Portable Expansion 4Tb. The first hard drive I was sent was replaced under warranty after a month because I had the following problems:
    I had a problem with the following: * it got very hot despite a good quality cable which was disconnecting.
    * I had a problem with a good quality cable that disconnected.
    * or did not record anything
    I had the same problems with the second one after only one week and the service department offers to exchange it again. I hope to have better luck ... but I will never buy a CD from this brand again. One more thing, the actual capacity is less than 4TB.

    Seagate Portable Expansion 4Tb

    A piece of shit! The first one I was sent was defective. Unknown on Windows & Linux! The LDLC team showed professionalism and exchanged it for me.
    The 2nd one I received works but I will never buy a Seagate external hard drive again! First of all, there is not 4Tb but 3.363Tb! Then, to operate and use the hard drive, you have to register on the official website of Seagate! What a load of crap! Then, there are lots of files and folders. And if you feel like grouping them in a folder or putting them in hidden folders, the hard drive doesn't work. To avoid the embarrassment of returning it for an exchange or refund, I keep this piece of junk! I would never take an external hard drive from this brand again! When I have the opportunity, I will buy another one, with the same capacity but from another brand!

    a little slow

    Access to data a bit slow, but otherwise works perfectly well, it is quiet. A 7000rpm HDD would be preferable.

    Really great

    I bought it to increase the memory of my Xbox X series without breaking the bank. Speed, size,...everything is really greatPs: On Xbox Srie X this hard drive can only allow you to play non-optimized games and to store without being able to launch the optimized games
