Review: Good Quality and it Works Fine with a MacBook Pro - As a music producer, my last external drive was much smaller and it began to fill up quickly. I bought this Seagate because of the known quality, and the size. I understand that with a Windows computer, it’s plug and play. If you use a MacBook Pro, it is a simple task to prepare it. I’ll copy instructions for Mac preparation. It was ready to go in about a minute. It’s not something to worry about. Here are the instructions: First an easy installation, you’ll use Disk Utility on the Mac to erase and reformat the drive; it’s straightforward and only needs to be done once before you start using it. 1. Decide on a format For a drive used only with your MacBook Pro for plugins/projects: APFS (best for SSDs, modern macOS, fast and robust). If you also want to plug the same drive into Windows regularly: ExFAT (works read/write on both Mac and Windows, fine for large audio files). 2. Erase and format the drive Connect the new external drive to your Mac. Open Disk Utility (Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility). In the menu bar, choose View → Show All Devices so you see the whole physical disk, not just volumes. In the left sidebar, select the top-level entry for that external drive (it will usually show the manufacturer’s name and “Media”). Click the Erase button at the top. In the dialog: Name: Something like “Audio Plugins” or “Samples”. Format: Choose APFS (or ExFAT if you need Mac/Windows). Scheme: Choose GUID Partition Map if offered. Click Erase and wait for it to complete, then click Done. After this, the drive will mount on the desktop in the new format and you can start moving plugin content or sample libraries to it. It took time to move data off the old drive and load onto the new drive. That’s natural. With this new Seagate drive, I store all my music plug-ins and virtual instrument files along with a large collection of audio and midi files. When producing music, there’s no delay and everything works fine. With that said, I have the new M4 chip and 48GB of Ram. With that, the computer works fine, but the Seagate also keeps up just fine. This Seagate external drive was a good purchase. It is reliable, portable and built well with a good appearance. Review: Great External Drive - I’m really impressed with this external hard drive. It was incredibly easy to set up and use right out of the box, and it performs exactly as expected. The storage capacity is excellent, especially considering how compact the device is—it’s small enough to fit just about anywhere without getting in the way. It also feels solid and durable, giving me confidence that it will hold up well over time. Overall, this is a great value for the price and a reliable option for anyone needing extra storage. ## Features - Easily store and access 5TB of content on the go with the Seagate portable drive, a USB external hard Drive - Designed to work with Windows or Mac computers, this external hard drive makes backup a snap just drag and drop - To get set up, connect the portable hard drive to a computer for automatic recognition software required - This USB drive provides plug and play simplicity with the included 18 inch USB 3.0 cable - The available storage capacity may vary. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VS8QCXC | | Additional Features | Hardware Encryption | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | Seagate | | Built-In Media | Seagate Portable Drive 5TB USB3.0 | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 5 | | Color | PORTABLE | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Gaming Console | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (211,128) | | Data Transfer Rate | 5120 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 5 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Glass, Or Ceramic | | Form Factor | Portable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00763649138168 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 18 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 5 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0 Type A | | Installation Type | Plug In | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 9.2"L x 6"W x 1.1"Th | | Item Length | 11.7 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Expansion Amazon Exclusive Edition | | Item Weight | 260 Grams | | Item Width | 8 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | Seagate | | Media Speed | 120 megabytes_per_second | | Model Name | Expansion Amazon Exclusive Edition | | Model Number | STGX5000400 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 120 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Multimedia | | UPC | 763649138168 | | Warranty Description | 2 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seagate - **Color:** PORTABLE - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Gaming Console - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 5 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 18 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation Type:** Plug In - **Special Feature:** Hardware Encryption ## Images ![Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, & Xbox - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX5000400), Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41OUh0ZU1NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many hours of music can this hold** A: Depends on format, sampling, bitrate. I've got 818 songs at standard 44 KHz and 128 kbps totaling 3144 minutes and 2.81 GB which comes out to 0.89 MB/minute. I've also got 430 songs at 192 kbps totaling 1595 minutes and 2.13 GB which is 1.34 MB/minute (which is also what you get ratioing 0.89 by 192 / 128 so the numbers jibe). If your songs are typical 128 kbps stereo quality, and average 4 minutes each, then (using the 0.89 MB/minute figure) each TB will hold roughly: 1,000,000 MB / 0.89 MB/min / 60 min/hr = about 18,700 hours ==> over EIGHTEEN THOUSAND HOURS OF MP3 FOR JUST ONE (1) TB. Even if all your songs are 24-bit 44 KHz WAV originals at 15 MB/minute, you'd still be able to store: 0.89/15 x 18,000 = over 1,000 hours of WAV for each TB. Suffice to say if you're saving only MP3s you probably won't run out of space, as the others have stated. **Q: Can you use this for PS4?** A: I had this hard drive for awhile as a spare backup drive in my PC. I plugged it into the front port of my PS4 and instantly gained 4TB of space. It requires no extra power source, the PS4 will format it and you can play games on it just the same as installing to your HDD inside the PS4. I don't notice any speed issues on my PRO, it runs the same speed. It's perfect to stop you from having to shuffle games off and on the limited 1TB in the system. **Q: What is the warranty? i can't find any info on it at seagate except that there isn't a warranty via seagate based on the serial number i entered.** A: One year's warranty is b.s. I've had mine for less than one year and it's already died. Can't get it covered because the damned thing is made in Thailand and the serial numbers are smudged so they can't ID it as mine, thus it's not covered. Aholes. DO NOT get a Seagate. Customer service is shi'ite. Whatever you do get extend the warranty as long as possible, and back up your back up. **Q: Usb 2.0. Support ?** A: Seagate is certainly sending mixed messages with the supplied information on this item’s page. In the “Details” section, it states for ‘Hard Disk Interface’, USB 3.0 is what’s required. Next, under the “From the Manufacturer” section, ‘Compatibility’ is now claimed to be USB 3.0/2.0. Once again, under “Other Technical Details”, the ‘Hard Disk Interface’ lists USB 3.0 as the required connection. Finally, if you open the ‘User Manual’ (PDF) under “Product Guides and Documents” and go to section 2 under “Contents” (page 5) you will find the following highlighted: “You can connect your Seagate device to a USB-C port on your computer. The USB-C port must support USB 3.0 or higher. A USB micro-B to USB-C cable is not included with this device.” Suddenly, you must now have USB-C to use this product. That’s odd, because I didn’t recall seeing USB-C mentioned once in the product description. Seagate: Get your act together. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality and it Works Fine with a MacBook Pro *by A***S on April 12, 2026* As a music producer, my last external drive was much smaller and it began to fill up quickly.

Setup was super simple — literally plug it in and it works. No complicated software, no weird formatting issues. I’m using it mainly with my PC but I’ve also tested it on my PlayStation and it worked without any problems. The 4TB storage is a huge plus. I backed up my entire system image, stored a ton of video files, and still have plenty of space left. Transfer speeds over USB 3.0 are solid — not lightning fast like an SSD obviously, but for a traditional HDD it’s more than fast enough for backups, media storage, and games. It’s lightweight and small, which surprised me. I expected something bulkier for 4TB. It doesn’t get hot and it runs quietly. I just leave it connected most of the time. If you need reliable, large storage for backups, gaming, or just extra space, this is a great value for the price. No complaints so far. Would definitely buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, & Xbox - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX5000400), Black - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc - Lacdo Hard Drive Carrying Case for Seagate Portable/Seagate One Touch/Game Drive for PS5 / Ultra Touch Portable External Hard Drive HDD 1TB 2TB 4TB 5TB USB 3.0 Shockproof Travel Bag, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/148394016-seagate-portable-5tb-external-hard-drive-hdd-usb-3-0](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/148394016-seagate-portable-5tb-external-hard-drive-hdd-usb-3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
