Great drive IF you ditch the case.
This is a lightning fast drive IF you chuck the case and attach it directly to your PC’s motherboard with a SATA cable. In my opinion, that’s the only practical option. You can keep the USB board and a cable handy, just in case you need to bring the drive to another place and transfer files. Cases trap heat which throttles transfer speeds down and shortens drive life too, so do yourself a favor and strip it (once you’re confident it’s not faulty, and you’re pretty sure you won’t have to return it).

It’s really just an Exos drive
I shucked the external chassis to get a cheap 26TB bare drive. It’s a Seagate Exos something or other on the inside. So far as I can tell, it has similar characteristics to other 20TB+ Exos drives I own; a little louder than I’d like, capable of sustaining roughly 220MB/sec file transfers and big enough to be a meaningful upgrade for my 5 year old 16TB drives.I’m not worried about losing the warranty but I do think Seagate should warranty the drive by itself rather than the drive specifically in the enclosure.

Gets too hot
26tb version is good, drive is new, however according to the smart data even in idle being connected to the computer it gets past 135 within 30 minutes so the enclosure isn’t great. That’s at 72 degrees room temperature. I struggle to understand if my housing is faulty or if this is intended for obvious reasons.

product was not new
Horrible. The equipment never worked. It came with old USB input boards, and the seller was not trustworthy.

Slow drive and much smaller capacity
Very slow rate of transfer. Also it “fills up” at less than 20 TB despite being rated as 26 TB. DO NOT recommend this.

Lose 10% of the actual advertised storage space! non standard decades old connectors!
26 TB is really 23.6, old connectors that do not deliver high speed, why not USB Type 3 connector? Why do you cause so much waste in the world? When will these companies optimize and improve?Otherwise it works OK, slow and limited as usual.

Terrible drive. SO SLOW
Slow drive 25 hours to download 4tbs worth of photos. Come on Seagate you use a connection that’s ancient. Why not a useful version of C

Puse una estrella porque no hay negativo! Desde que llego el producto NO FUNCIONABA.El Disco Duro llego con falla, nunca funciono… Lo devolví en un par de días, ya pasaron dos meses y no me han reembolsado la devolución. NO recomiendo el producto, el vendedor ni a Amazon que como intermediario no da solución.

Got a DOA (Dead On Arrival) 26 TB Seagate HDD.Update 22 Oct 2025: Got refund from Amazon, trust restored. One needs lots of patience as its a long process in getting refund for a large ticket purchase.

Hallo ihr Lieben.Ich möchte euch darauf hinweisen, dass ihr die Artikelbeschreibung doch bitte korrigiert.In der heutigen Zeit steht der Ärger schnell ins Haus. Nicht von mir. Ich habe durch den Black Friday 40 Euro gespart und mir die Platte geholt, die ich eigentlich vor hatte zu holen.Hätte mich zwar über die 2 TB mehr gefreut aber 24 TB reichen aus.
