Overall Feedback:
95% positive
83% were satisfied with the compatibility, but 17% encountered issues
Reformatting the drive for Mac is nontrivial, as I warned it will not work unless done so.
NTFS is not fully compatible with Mac computers.
I tried to format the external hard drive but it did not work as it is not compatible with MAC.
85% appreciated the durability, but 15% didn't meet expectations
I have been using the drives for years and they are fast, reliable and have never had any problems.
I have used other external drives like Buffalo and LaCie that lasted years without any problems. Unfortunately, this Seagate external hard drive did not last long and I am disappointed with its durability.
After 1.5 years of usage, my drive became completely inaccessible and corrupted.
83% liked the transfer speed
I can transfer large files and re-encode videos simultaneously, and the drives always perform efficiently as expected.
