One Touch with Hub

I bought the 16TB unit with front USB hub to store photographs and some miscellaneous files. My unit is connected to a dual-boot (Windows 10 & Ubuntu) laptop workstation through a USB hub. After I connected the USB cable, I plugged in the drive's power cord and Seagate One Touch Hub fired right up. I moved 50,000 files, totaling about 500GB to the drive to confirm that everything was working, and then fired up Lightroom and had it 'add' a year's worth of pictures to it's catalog. Everything worked fine. I then booted up Ubuntu to confirm that Ubuntu could see and access the disk, and it did so without any issues. While I did not benchmark the unit, it's speed seemed typical of other hard drives. That is, while much slower than a SSD, is plenty fast enough for photo storage. The unit has only a very small disk activity LED on the front of the unit. There are no other lights on the unit. When you first add the unit to a Windows system, the drive will appear in the 'Desktop' view of the File Manager. Normally File Manager defaults to showing you the 'Quick Access' - Frequent Folders and Recent Files view. The unit isn't silent - no hard disk drive is - and it does make sounds when it's spinning the disk platters up to speed after 'sleeping' and when the disk is moving the disk heads to read or write a file. The rest of the time the unit is essentially silent. It's safe to say that this disk is nosier than any disk I've had before (it's also a LOT bigger than any disk I've had before), but the sounds this unit makes are no louder than everyday background office noises. Personally, I don't find them objectionable. I am pleased with the 16TB Seagate One Touch Hub I purchased. The unit is performing like I expected it to, and I expect it will serve me well for a number of years.

Had this for two years still going strong?

POS died, spins constantly with no activity, noisy as all get out, fails to backup Mac for months, ejects on its own. AVOID THIS DRIVE, I ordered a WD 16TB, never had an issue with the Elements Desktop HD's for years and years.

Ok first off, most of these are EXYOS or IRONWOLF drives with no warranty, just the warranty for the plastic case. second off, if you use something like usbtree or hdsentinel you'll see seagate is purposely limiting the SATA speed to SATA II, so even though these advertise sata 3.2 10GB you wont get better than 3GB (like it makes a difference, it's just techno babble and tech lies). Dont buy these, do yourself a favor, buy the enterprise drive thats like 10 less for no chassis and buy a REAL usb 3.2 2x2 usb chassis so you get a 5 year drive warranty (if you go seagate, WD you can complain and get a 5 year warranty for anything). but these are garbage with how they SAY they are 10Gpbs usb 3.2 but are only connecting at SATA II speeds (they do connect at sata III on a real enclosure). Dont let the prettiness or worthless hub fool you, because you are paying extra for JUNK cases that cripple the drive

Drive seems to be working now. But I ended up paying eighteen dollars too much because the likely adapter that came with the drive was not what it said it was. It was not made for U.S. standards and had a serious short circuit. The damage to my electronics and the risk to the drive were concerning. I, however, assumed this happens infrequently and was mostly an irritant towards Seagate, who has about 45 yrs of an extremely good reputation with me! Our last drive lasted for six years, and we want this one to do the same; its adapter is used anywhere. What I bought here is a better drive than the adapter that came with it. It is sad that Seagate may have lowered their standards; as a result, many hard drives and maybe even support systems are not as good as they have been for 45 years.

As you know Apple uses APFS for its file system, with the latest versions on macOS all compatibility with Window NTFS is gone without the help of some really wayward utilities. This 14TB Hub is formatted in exFat. This is a file system that works both with Apple and Windows. It lacks some of the indexing features of APFS and NTFS but for external storage it works just fine. plugged it into one of the USB "C"/Thunderbolt ports on the Mac Studio installed Seagate's software for macOS and I was up and running. You do notice at times that this is an external drive and it isn't the speed demon it might be with APFS and a Thunderbolt interface but it moves everything off of the Mac Studio's 1TB internal that does not need to be there. Any one with a Mac computer this is a no brainer.

Seagate 6TB One Touch Hub External Hard Drive is a good product to have especially when you want to have a portable device to carry and connect to your computer, laptop and other devices. Now I have many of Seagate hard drives it’s a brand I trust and has lasted longer than most other hard drives. It’s automatically detectable by windows. Great storage space for multiple photos or files. The usb wire is a good length and plug adapter has multiple types for use in other voltage or country. I am happy with this product.

These are cheaper than just getting the drive, so I buy these for my NAS and pull the drive from the plastic case. Sure it’s not an Iron Wolf, but they have lasted in my NAS for years.

Werkt prima en geruisloos - ideaal voor het stockeren van een groot aantal foto’s in RAW-formaat

Estoy muy contento con el Seagate One Touch Hub de 8 TB. Este disco duro externo es perfecto para mis necesidades de almacenamiento, especialmente para mi trabajo con videos en 4K. Con 8 TB de espacio, puedo guardar todos mis videos, fotos y documentos sin preocuparme por el espacio. Es ideal para manejar grandes cantidades de datos. Velocidad Rápida Gracias a su conexión USB-C y USB 3.0, las transferencias de archivos son rápidas. Mover archivos grandes, como videos en 4K, es mucho más rápido y sencillo. Funcionalidad de HUB Lo mejor de este modelo es que puedo conectar mi móvil o portátil directamente al disco duro. Esto facilita cargar dispositivos y transferir archivos sin complicaciones, porque para los videos de YouTube grabo muchos recursos con el IPhone y Time-lapses con otro smartphone, y pasar todos los archivos por telegram era muchísimo tiempo. El diseño es elegante y funciona bien con ordenadores de sobremesa, portátiles y Mac. Es compacto y no ocupa mucho espacio. Refrigeración y Ruido El disco duro prácticamente ni se escucha, y demás refrigera bastante bien, analizándolo con CrystalDisk mientras paso 300GB de video no pasa de 42ºC y estamos en Mayo, con unos 22ºC en mi estudio. Conclusión El Seagate One Touch Hub de 8 TB es una excelente inversión. Su gran capacidad, rapidez y funcionalidad adicional lo hacen destacar. ¡Muy recomendado! Voy a incluir algunas imágenes del producto y de las pruebas de velocidad para que puedan ver lo bien que funciona.

Auf beiden Seiten ist eine Belüftung waagerechten Betrieb. Nicht wie im Bilde auf der Seite stehend, und dann ohne Wärmestau, wie die Expansionplatte, die senkrecht mit den Lüftungsschlitzen nach oben zu betreiben ist!! Sie ist auch schnell im Datenübertrag am USB 3.1 Anschluss meines HP-Z6G4 Rechners. Amazon sollte darauf hinweisen, um schlechte Bewertungen zu Vermeiden.

Good product... Fast
