Seagate Expansion 16TB External Hard Drive HDD - USB 3.0, with Rescue Data Recovery Services (STKP16000400)

Overall Review: I bought these to shuck them to get NAS drives at a lower price without a warranty (gambling that I won't need it). My two units (purchased May 2022) both contain EXOS X18 16TB drives (model # ST16000NM000J) which is good stuff. A smartctl long test is running right now before I crack them open and say goodbye to the warranty for good. These ship in retail boxes, so the drive is inside of its external enclosure, which is then suspended inside of the retail cardboard box with the factory packaging, and then Newegg ships the retail boxes inside of a much larger box with the extra space filled with those large air bubble bags. This is probably better protection than a bare drive would typically receive in transit from most retailers, so I consider that a plus.

Pros: I Purchased an 18 Terra and it's great. I only have a usb 3.0 port but still the transfer rate was between 160M and 195M

Cons: The problems are no usb external ports. I knew that but one can wish. It's top is open in about a three inch section (so becareful with water and the like. I do not think cornpop will be a problem. The last item is to small. Having said that I started out 360k single side floppy drives and I'm grateful indeed.

Overall Review: I would recommend. I'll report in six months with better details. Thank you, Newegg Hopefully you will be able to stay in business. I still appreciate all of the fine products that I have Purchased though out the years. Take Care.

Overall Review: - Lots of storage space - Decent speed - Default Filesystem isn't Linux-compatible (which I only discovered after a multi-Terrabyte backup failed because some files had ":" in them - I recommend reformatting to something sensible before using. - Not recognized as a removable drive by Windows, so safely ejecting it is unreasonably difficult.

Pros: Though 12TB may seem overkill for the average person, we hardcore PC gamers can always use more storage. The size of my current games takes up a lot of storage space, and I have twenty-plus games. All other apps and saved files need storage space, too. You soon run out of room. Just like money, you can't have enough storage space.

Cons: The only Con would be the needed desktop space it requires. I have two desktops positioned in an "L" manner.

Overall Review: I would recommend this device to anyone who wants to have a LOT of storage capacity. I like dealing with Newegg and have never had any problems with this company. In the rare case that I need to return an item, I save the shipping box, item package box, all cushioning material, accessories, documentation, etc. This procedure makes receiving a RAN a no-hassle process.

Pros: I has a lot of space for the price and is easy to set up and use.

Cons: I just wish it was a little smaller to take up less desk space.

Overall Review: If you looking for more space this is a great item all the way around for the price.

Pros: Good size, and have had good luck with both Seagate & WD drives.

Overall Review: I purchased this as an addition to a smaller Seagate External Drive. I've only copied a few test files to make sure it is working, as I still have space on my older drive to fill-up before using the new drive for current storage.

Pros: works a specified, does the job I need

Cons: no cons

Overall Review: Great Drive

Pros: great price for this monster sized hard drive fast external at 7200 rpm

Overall Review: gets a 5 out of 5 a nice drive seagates are great products
