Review: Simple, high quality, long lasting - I purchased one of these several years ago, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they sent me a case of 8 brand new SSDs, kept a few, sold a couple at about a 60% discount from the online price, gave a couple away as gifts, and their lifespan has been impressive, they've all performed beautifully the whole time I've had them. Instant access to files with no complex processes to follow, although the stock cable could be longer.
Review: Perfect - I picked up this 4TB hard drive with pretty simple expectations: I wanted something that would work, store a lot of data, and not give me any headaches. After using it for a while, I can say confidently that it delivers exactly that. Performance & Reliability: Right out of the box, the drive worked flawlessly. Setup was quick—pretty much plug-and-play—and my system recognized it immediately. Transfer speeds were solid and consistent, not blazing-fast like an SSD of course, but exactly what you expect from a dependable HDD. Whether I was moving large video files or backing up a ton of photos, it handled everything without stuttering, freezing, or randomly disconnecting. Noise & Heat: The drive runs quietly, with only a faint hum during heavier transfers. It also stays at a stable temperature; even after extended use, it never ran hot or worried me. For anyone planning to keep it inside a PC case or use it as an external backup unit, this is definitely a plus. Build Quality: The construction feels sturdy and well-made. Nothing cheap or flimsy about it. The ports are secure, the casing feels solid, and overall it gives the impression of something built to last. For a drive of this capacity, that peace of mind matters. Capacity & Use Case: 4TB is a sweet spot for a lot of people—it’s plenty of room for games, media collections, backups, or general long-term storage. I’ve already loaded it with a substantial amount of data, and it performs just as smoothly at higher fill levels as it did when empty. Overall: This is one of those purchases that doesn’t try to impress with bells and whistles—it just works. And honestly, that’s exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for a straightforward, reliable 4TB hard drive that performs well and doesn’t cause headaches, this one is a solid choice. I’d absolutely buy it again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many hours of music can this hold**
A: Depends on format, sampling, bitrate.  I've got 818 songs at standard 44 KHz and 128 kbps totaling 3144 minutes and 2.81 GB which comes out to 0.89 MB/minute.  I've also got 430 songs at 192 kbps totaling 1595 minutes and 2.13 GB which is 1.34 MB/minute (which is also what you get ratioing 0.89 by 192 / 128 so the numbers jibe).

If your songs are typical 128 kbps stereo quality, and average 4 minutes each, then (using the 0.89 MB/minute figure) each TB will hold roughly: 1,000,000 MB / 0.89 MB/min / 60 min/hr = about 18,700 hours ==> over EIGHTEEN THOUSAND HOURS OF MP3 FOR JUST ONE (1) TB.

Even if all your songs are 24-bit 44 KHz WAV originals at 15 MB/minute, you'd still be able to store: 0.89/15 x 18,000 = over 1,000 hours of WAV for each TB.

Suffice to say if you're saving only MP3s you probably won't run out of space, as the others have stated.

**Q: Can you use this for PS4?**
A: I had this hard drive for awhile as a spare backup drive in my PC. I plugged it into the front port of my PS4 and instantly gained 4TB of space. It requires no extra power source, the PS4 will format it and you can play games on it just the same as installing to your HDD inside the PS4. I don't notice any speed issues on my PRO, it runs the same speed. It's perfect to stop you from having to shuffle games off and on the limited 1TB in the system.

**Q: What is the warranty? i can't find any info on it at seagate except that there isn't a warranty via seagate based on the serial number i entered.**
A: One year's warranty is b.s.  I've had mine for less than one year and it's already died.  Can't get it covered because the damned thing is made in Thailand and the serial numbers are smudged so they can't ID it as mine, thus it's not covered.  Aholes.  DO NOT get a Seagate.  Customer service is shi'ite.  Whatever you do get extend the warranty as long as possible, and back up your back up.

**Q: Usb 2.0. Support ?**
A: Seagate is certainly sending mixed messages with the supplied information on this item’s page. 

In the “Details” section, it states for ‘Hard Disk Interface’, USB 3.0 is what’s required. 

Next, under the “From the Manufacturer” section, ‘Compatibility’ is now claimed to be USB 3.0/2.0. 

Once again, under “Other Technical Details”, the ‘Hard Disk Interface’ lists USB 3.0 as the required connection.

Finally, if you open the ‘User Manual’ (PDF) under “Product Guides and Documents” and go to section 2 under “Contents” (page 5) you will find the following highlighted:

“You can connect your Seagate device to a USB-C port on your computer. The USB-C port must support USB 3.0 or higher. A USB micro-B to USB-C cable is not included with this device.”

Suddenly, you must now have USB-C to use this product. That’s odd, because I didn’t recall seeing USB-C mentioned once in the product description.

Seagate: Get your act together.

*by T***C on January 11, 2026*
