  • I bought one of these a few weeks ago. I have been having problems with it attached to a two port PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card. The card has previously worked with all my other drives. I have found it difficult finding someone at Seagate with knowledge of this particular drive to talk about the issues. The suggestion is to run their software which I calculated would take more than two days and I suspect would come out OK. For a while I got it working by having in on at startup with a USB stick inserted in it's port. Now that doesn't work and it knocks out the other USB3 port on the card. It was very cheap per Tb but I wouldn't buy again.

    Note, issues with large drives can have many causes, like your OS, USB controller limits, etc.
