Seagate Hard Drive Reviews (2024)

Seagate's 2TB Spider-Man FireCuda hard drive is a handsomely decorated external drive for fans of the franchise. It's an on-point performer for a platter unit, but it lacks USB-C connectivity, and you pay a premium for the Spidey design.

Seagate's FireCuda Grogu External Hard Drive is a solid-performing platter-based drive that should appeal to any fan of Star Wars or Grogu (better known as Baby Yoda) despite its premium pricing *and brief warranty*.

Seagate's latest USB external hard drive is decorated with motifs from "The Mandalorian" and offers capable performance at a not-too-elevated price. We only wish it were available in a capacity higher than 2TB.

It could use more ports, and platter drives have only so much speed upside, but Seagate's FireCuda Gaming Hub excels at backing up and storing all the games you could ever hope to own.

Combining on-point performance and strong encryption, Seagate's Backup Plus Ultra Touch portable drive is a great choice for everyday backups and security-first use alike. Plus, a fabric coat adds appeal.

Aimed at power users and those with big media collections, the Seagate Innov8 is an external hard drive that packs 8TB of storage and connects via fast USB-C.

The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim is an external hard drive that provides 2TB of storage space, quick data transfer speeds, and a sharp, super-slim design for just $100.

The Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive gives you 4 terabytes of speedy storage you can take with you, as well as a personal cloud, all for a very reasonable price.

The Seagate Game Drive is just an Xbox-branded USB 3.0 hard drive, but that's all you need to expand your Xbox One or Xbox 360's storage.

The Seagate Seven (500GB), one of the slimmest external hard drives out there, is aimed at the user who prizes aesthetics over value or performance.

The Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive (5TB) is incredibly spacious, reasonably fast, and since it has a class-leading 5 terabytes of storage, it costs only pennies per gigabyte.

True to its name, the Seagate Backup Plus Slim hard drive is thin and spacious. It can back up all the files on your laptop, as well as media from your phone and social networking accounts.

The Seagate Backup Plus Fast is one of the fastest and most spacious portable external hard drives we've seen. That, and the fact that it costs 6 cents per gigabyte, makes this one a winner.

The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 is a desktop-class external drive that's faster than the internal flash storage used in a MacBook Pro. That translates into the fastest possible work drive for a power user.

The LaCie Fuel wireless media drive can supplement your smartphone or tablet storage. It lets you carry most, if not all, of your music, photos, and videos with you and share them with a small group of devices.

The G-Technology G-Drive Mobile USB 3.0 will backup and transfer files quicker than a 5,400rpm hard drive, but SSDs are faster still, if that's what you really need. The G-Drive Mobile USB 3.0 is therefore relegated to middle child status, giving you a bit more speed for a bit more money.

The SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive works well as a portable movie/photo/music file repository that can travel with you around town or across the country. It's a compact companion that gives you 32GB more storage for your media.

The speedy, large-capacity Apricorn Aegis Portable 3.0 solid-state drive is made for people who need files copied or raw media files completed in seconds, rather than minutes. You'll pay for the privilege, but boy is this drive fast.

The G-Technology G-Drive Slim (500GB) is a compact, metal-clad portable hard drive with an upgraded 7,200rpm mechanism for measurably faster throughput. Take a look if you need speedy storage for your SSD-powered MacBook or ultrabook.

The Seagate 600 is the manufacturer's first consumer solid-state device, and it's a great first effort with some unique features.
