(Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Seagate Expansion 2 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STBV2000100 (Personal Computers) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) The target market of the Seagate Expansion Desktop line seems to be people who want to add a performance drive, but don't want to,or cannot, install an additional internal drive, that is, this is a drive they won't be moving, at least not frequently. For example, a laptop where the extra storage can happily stay behind in the office. Or a small-form-factor PC (mini-PC, HTPC, "nettop") that doesn't have space. There are other lines of external drives from Seagate (and others) targeting more transient/mobile uses.For a range of potential buyers of this drive, the product information provided may be too sketchy. The focus of this review is to fill in some of the missing info, and it is structured to facilitate your skipping details that don't interest you. Note: At the time of this review, the product information here at Amazon is more than you will find elsewhere, including Seagate's website (no spec sheets, ...).

That's almost 14 months, which still isn't long, but make sure you check online and do not just assume your warranty is dead after 12 months exact. I needed another 3tb drive and decided to go out on a limb and spend the extra $10 on this "new version" of the seagate drive. I will admit that at least the case looks different - its...

After reading Douglas Moran's incredible review with thermal measurements that he made from every known geometric angle on planet earth, it's hard to add much to that!But in a nutshell, the price of this unit is so good, it's almost cheaper to buy this compared to a bare drive! The design of this particular unit (2TB model) may not best-in-class for cooling but it isn't even close to the hottest external drive I've used in the past and I've owned more than a dozen. Douglas' measurements showed that it gets pretty warm but not in the freak-out zone and that's exactly what I found. For oustanding cooling you have to spend a lot more on units like the LaCie Quadra series (and some of THOSE models even run hot). With this you get a good basic fast drive with a ton of room. USB 3.0 runs fast, as you know; the actual Seagate drive inside has a decent reputation for reliability but there's no real way to review that unless I remember to return back to this in a year. The case is... Read more |
