It's very handy but as you can imagine, storage can be an issue as video files especially eat up a lot of memory. I have a 5TB external hard drive but am starting to run out of space. I decided I needed a much bigger storage option and I bought this Seagate for it's size and the reputation of the brand. I have had good experiences with Seagate drives whereas some other brands have failed on me in an unusually short amount of time. I'm super happy with this Seagate drive so far. I saw one review that says it will not run on MacOS which is not true. That person must have simply received a defective product. I have 2 different MacBooks and have no problem mounting this drive to either laptop. The thing that is most impressive about this drive is how fast it is compared to my other external drives. It literally transfers files in about half to even 1/3 the time that it takes to move files onto my smaller 5TB drives. One review says that it is loud. I do find that it is louder than my external 5TB drives but it I wouldn't say that it is inordinately loud. It's a much bigger drive so you need to power it via an AC adaptor, unlike the smaller drives which are powered via the computer's USB port. But that should be expected for any drive that is bigger than 5TB. Overall, this drive is doing the job I need it to do. It's fast and it has plenty of storage to keep my Plex drive storage growing for probably another couple of years. My experience with Seagate drives gives me confidence that the drive will not fail before I need to explore replacing it with a drive of more substantial size. Review: Quiet, high capacity, works fine with my Mac Studio with Sonoma, Warranty - High capacity 14TB external drive, USB 3 which includes a warranty with 2 year rescue service if you have file corruption and need the files restored. It's very quiet and has a small footprint considering the large capacity. It mounted first time and I used Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac OS Extended (I don't need dual-system FAT format for Windows machines, I never use them). Then I partitioned it into four partitions of different sizes for video, data, graphics, and miscellaneous/backups. Working great, very happy with the performance, form factor, price, and warranty. ## Features - Easy-to-use desktop hard driveβ€”simply plug in the power adapter and USB cable - Fast file transfers with USB 3.0 - Drag-and-drop file saving right out of the box - Automatic recognition of Windows and Mac computers for simple setup (Reformatting required for use with Time Machine) - Enjoy peace of mind with the included limited warranty and Rescue Data Recovery Services ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B093BTVWPH | | Best Sellers Rank | #140 in External Hard Drives | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (493) | | Date First Available | August 28, 2021 | | Item model number | STKP18000400 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | SEAGATE | | Product Dimensions | 7.04 x 1.65 x 4.92 inches; 2.59 Pounds | ## Images ![Expansion Desktop 18TB External Hard Drive, USB 3.0, 2 Year Rescue Services (STKP18000400) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dFcG7ZE0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Option for Plex Server Video Storage *by D***E on November 11, 2024* I have a Plex Server at home that allows me to digitally access all my videos, photos and music.
