Great!
By Arun Thekkudenon
I got in about one and a half days , which is really great . The packaging was superb nothing moving inside (which is always good for electronics)
As for the product it self , its working great .
Read/Write speeds are the same as any other external HDD.
It has a detachable lower half , so you can modify it and use other ports such as eSATA , USB 3.0 , FireWire etc (On purchase of the adapters of course!)
The bad?
1)No power button (not a big deal though , you can set it to turn off after a certain period of inactivity)
2)The whole thing seems to topple even with a gentle touch , so you have to be careful there!
The Good?
1) Huge storage for a great price!
2) Changeable adapters for future mods!
3) LED lights indicating disk usage (not a big thing , but something I haven't seen before)
Fails for no reason
By Rohit Yadavon
My first hand experience with this prodoct is bad. I've used Seagate Internal 1TB HDDs which work perfectly, bought this one for backups. As soon as I got it, I did an initial backup of about 1.2TB it heated up like 60 degrees and started failing, photos and videos, pdfs got corrupted... sometimes new drives require to be re-formatted but for some reason it failed to reformat as NTFS in my case.
Among all the pros and cons listed by others, please keep the following in mind about this 2TB external HDD:
- Don't use it for regular use, may be backups. Turns out larger HDDs have higher failure rate. After my case, I won't trust large HDDs.
- Go for two 1TB ones instead of one 2TB, costly but isn't your data precious.
Good buy
By Anirudhon
I recently bought this product for Rs.4717. Guess they reduced the price further after i bought it. Anyway so it arrived neatly packed within 3 days which is really really good!! Most people don't package the product properly and its usually damaged by the time it reaches you.
About the product..well, it's not exactly 2tb. When you plug it in on windows 7 it shows 1.8tb of free space. I quickly found out that the actual size of a 2TB hard drive is 2,000,000,000,000 bytes (yeah, 2 million millions!!), which roughly converts into 1.8ish TB..so yea doubt cleared there.
Transfer rates are a modest 25mbps on my usb 2.0.
It has 4 Leds that show how much of the hard disk is full. The more you fill it up more the number of leds that light up which is a quick way to know how much of free space you have left. It's a very average and primitive estimation but a good feature nonetheless.
I download a lot of stuff online and this is a wonderful backup of all the movies, games etc. To give you a rough estimate I have 500 movies of an average 1 gb size each and that hasn't even made a dent in the space that is still available(Only one led still lights up).
I really recommend buying this if you are a moderate user and down-loader.
Oh and Seagate is much better than transcend, trust me..i had a friend whose transcend hard disk just refused to boot up after 6 months. For lower memory(2gb, 4gb, 8gb sticks) go for transcend but for data storage greater than that..seagate is the best on the long run.
Great HDD !!
By Swabhab Prakash Mudulion
I got it for really competitive price on flipkart !! The cash on delivery was flawless and was delivered before time. Cheers to the Flipkart team.
The product, the name Seagate itself says it all, great HDD to have for all movies and TV series buffs. If all u need is lots and lots of space, with ZERO tension go for it.
Highly recommended
Ton of Thanks Flipkart
