Seagate Expansion 5TB Portable Drive HDD Unboxing - Speed Test - Disassembly - External Hard Drive

[@MarteFiveFive]

Not a single clip broken; amazing job!

[@g-dev7fanny]

bro should we format it first? even it already on exfat format?

[@AliWall]

No, you don't have to do that.

[@moii68]

Have you had any issues so far? I bought the 5TB drive today and I saw someone online say that their Seagate hard drive stopped suddenly or they dropped it once and it stopped working. Please lmk bc I might return it if there are issues. I won't be carrying my drive everywhere so I'm not too worried about dropped it.

[@AliWall]

I had a problem with it not reading some files and yes I have dropped it a few times so maybe that's why it didn't read the files.

[@nunosapunso6239]

This is a mechanic drive. Dropping it will most likely cause damage.

[@bbaasje]

Horrrible drive, never seagate again

[@KuroganeX3]

Can take the pcb off from it? Does it have normal connector asking in case the enclosure port breaks

[@AliWall]

I haven't tried but as far as I know then yes you can take off PCB and there will be connectors where are connected PCB.

[@KuroganeX3]

@@AliWall thanks for the reply

[@UnitAlir]

I can confirm that the 2TB model is an ordinary hard drive with a SATA connector I took the shield off

[@Luca-cz6if]

@@UnitAlir Very interesting. Thank you very much. Indead recent Western Digital Elements Portable hard drives have a proprietary connector and if broken you can’t connect the hard disk into an external enclosure or inside a computer.

[@johanalinell]

I can confirm 5TB version as well. I put it in a Dell poweredge server. No problem.

[@mscgeye]

Bro.. I'm thinking to buy Seagate ultratouch hdd 2/4/5 TB any one.. looks like new and no reviews in Amazon, question is is that good enough and it has only c to c cable in it but my laptop doesn't have c port

[@AliWall]

I store KZbin videos on my HDD, therefore, I cannot say whether it has any problems in daily use. My HDD came with a USB 3.0 cable, but you can change it.

[@opoaloas9563]

is it quiet like western digital 2.5? I think to go to this model because they are not welded thank you.

[@bucioedwin946]

Does this work for pc gaming?

[@AliWall]

Yes.

[@eduardoverona179]

Hey, I have a quick question. Does this HDD drive works on Consoles? Like Xbox series X, S or PS5? Really wanna buy one but I'm scared of buying this version and it does not work for me.

[@AliWall]

I don't have any console but as far as I know then yes it does work. But there is possibility that on some models it may not work.

[@eduardoverona179]

@@AliWall Oh, I'm trying to buy it for my Xbox Series X, the usb is the same as the console. But still, Thank you for responding me 😁👍

[@abdulsalamolaide5908]

@@eduardoverona179 I'm trying to do the same. is coping speed worth it on seriesX

[@meakes1122]

As far it's an 3.0 USB drive you can use them on xbox one, one s and x. Also on ps4 and PS5 just google extern drives for consoles you should find some recommendations.

[@eduardoverona179]

@@meakes1122 yes, I can confirm that this HDD works on consoles. I bought it back in january 2023 and it still works by today. Also, it is an awesome hard drive for consoles, especially if you buy the 4tb version, you'll have a lot of space to install any games you want. Using it on the Xbox Series X and I'm loving it.

[@mrwater2033]

Does this work for gaming? Or are there any drawbacks for storing steam games in this?

[@AliWall]

I don't play games but I found that it's working: "So long as the USB drive is always connected before you launch Steam it works 100%. Never Start Steam with out the USB drive running . I speak from experience never failed me in over 2 years Using A Seagate Expansion Drive 5 TB.

[@mrwater2033]

@@AliWall Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I'll keep this in mind. I'm terrible with computer stuff so this is surely a life saver! :D Thank you once again!

[@nunosalema]

@@AliWall why dont start steam with out the usb ?

[@vladsta3833]

What would you say is better - this or the Toshiba Canvio Basics 4 TB? Cheers

[@AliWall]

I don't feel the difference.

[@J4ca]

Where i can buy this clip ?

[@zedblack984]

Redmi note 8 pro mobile se connect karke batao mujhe connect ho raha hai ya nahi maine bhi buy karni hai

[@omnamahshivay970]

So in a 5TB you are effectively getting some 4.54 TB free space .in my 3 TB seagate i am getting complete 3TB free space ...any input as why that must be the case .i was planning to but a 5TB ....but seeing this won't 3TB be a better purchase ?

[@pioneersh7129]

Can I use it as an internal hard drive?

[@AliWall]

Probably, there are lot tutorials in KZbin how to do it, but I haven't try that.

[@johanalinell]

I took it out of the enclosure and added it to a Dell poweredge 2.5 disk bay. No problems.

[@adnan1alim]

Seagate is best ❤

[@vnh8982]

Can it work in a 2.0 usb port?

[@AliWall]

Yes, but the speed will not be as fast as USB3.0.

[@marcse7en]

I bought a 5TB WD Elements USB Portable HDD. I wanted to do a surface scan. Only problem was, it would take a WEEK to run the test! 👎😲

[@Zara-gr6xo]

Does it work on TV??

[@AliWall]

Sorry but I don't know, I don't have TV. 😎

[@chix1]

How the hell do you have write speeds 4-5 times as fast as I do

[@AliWall]

Probably you have connected it in USB 2.0 port. To get speed you need connect it to USB 3.0 port.

[@chix1]

@@AliWall it’s in a 3.1 gen 2 port and write chaching is enabled for the drive. I managed to get it to 42mb/s but generally it’s at 25. This is for video files only. So freaking weird, gonna try different usb ports anyways too

[@AliWall]

That's weird. Maybe the HDD to which it is copied is with 2.0USB... maybe cable is bad.

[@DarkGamer-hs7ir]

Man I wanted this version so bad but they only had the 4tb version. But well nevermind.

[@AliWall]

Look in another store, they are almost everywhere.

Naa , ps4 supports thickness upto 9mm and this drive is 15mm thick..

Why format it when it’s new ?

[@AliWall]

I'm concerned about security. 😁

[@JimmySyndrome182]

@@AliWall can you please elaborate? I have the same hard drive and didn’t do it. What security reason involved ?

[@AliWall]

Just kidding. I just cleared disk from all info knowing that nothing will be left in it.

[@JimmySyndrome182]

@@AliWall i see. Thank you !

[@AswinRajKumarJhon]

Why are you formatting the disk after registering with seagate

[@vypersoft1]

Seagate warranty is a pile of SH*T...brand new 20tb Ironwolf pro (I have 30 of them) will not spin up and they want me to send in the motherboard specs to the server and two pc's I hooked it to. They want screenshots of it hooked as a standalone drive and screenshots as as secondary drive. They want a video of the drive hooked to a pc so they can remotely diagnose why it will not spin. Needless to say they did not replace it.

Did you just say olive oyl?

[@alexanderg5736]

4.5 tb ????? А ведь покупали 5 tb. Купили 10 tb kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZWUm3uAgL5rZ5o а по факту 9 tb

That's how it is for all HDD/SSD. That is math and marketing.
