Works As Expected
Performs as expected form a hard disk,[Test Results and hardkdisk photos in Images]Physical: It’s light weight and small size (smaller than palm)The case is of okayish quality, if you press on it, it gets flexed maybe they should have made it a bit strongerthe cable quality is goodIt comes in a single box with HDD and cable no additional case/cover includedStorage Capacity: 931GB (10,00,17,05,86,112 bytes as reported by File Explorer Windows) which is exptected from a 1TB driveSince many people were complaining its not 1000 GB or 1024GB, windows will show different capacity then what a manufacturer advertise, you can look up on google on how that worksIn short the 931GB is what you’ll get from a 1TB drive(any drive not just this one)Performance: As expected in a HDDSpeed is as expected for a HDDCrystal Disk Mark testThe first speed test i ran the write speed was slow but reconnecting it again it was goodSpeed tests are in images, for comparision i included benchmark of my internal drive as well{E drive: Seagate , D drive : My internal drive} both of 1TBWhen the drive is busy writing reponse time jumps upto 15 secondsThey are both similar in terms of speed so no complaints thereTest 1copying ~3.5gb files of different sizes from 100KB to 200MBTook around 2 minute, avg speed of 25MB/s (write), there was some fluctuations when transfering smaller filesTest 2copying ~200GB folder with .mp4 files (all files over 500MB)Avg speed 100MB/s (write), the speed stayed pretty much the sameNote: Sometimes it gives only 26MB/s write speed and other times over 100MB/s write speeds and i cant figure out why it does that, all my ports in the laptop are USB 3.1 gen1 so idk why the speed difference is there maybe some connection issueConnector : Its a USB A to USB micro B superspeed connector, the cable length is ~40cm which is okay and cable and pin quality is goodTemperature : after a few tests the case became warm to touch or 45C as reported by softwareIts idle temperature is around 38C~39C at room temperatureWhen plugged in computer there is a slight vibration if you hold it(which is fine), but no significant noise when reading or writingThis is a short term test, i will update the review if anything happends regarding the driveAs of now the the purchse for me was worth it, i bought it for INR 4899 during great indian festival sale

EXCELLENT DATA RETRIEVAL SUPPORT
My 2TB hard drive stopped working. I approached the company, who were very helpful. Seagate commits to recovering your data free of cost within the stipulated period. The data retrieval process worked like a dream. Not only did I get a new replacement drive, my data was also recovered for free (a process that could cost thousands from a third party data recovery agency).

Superb😍
This hard drive is very good and fast. It is lightweight so I can carry it with me anywhere in travelling but must use case if you are carrying it with yourself. Best in this price.

Bom produto.

Lo compré en promoción. Al momento me ha funcionado sin mayor problema. Lo utilizo para oír-ver descargas de música o películas. De buena capacidad a un precio razonable. Hay otras opciones probablemente más competitivas en términos de capacidad-precio, pero lo que me gusto de este disco es su tamaño compacto, además de que es muy ligero. Procuro no andarlo moviendo mucho, ya que con otro dispositivo que tenía una protección de plástico se cayó y dejo de funcionar (pese a que se indicaba que era resistente a caídas de baja altura – como fue en mi caso).

Cabe muito conteúdo e é bem levinho.
