Excellently done video. Thank you. You didn't rush the instruction and were helpful. I have an older model of the same one and when I plug it in, I get a white light but it doesn't blink. Not sure if it is working. Thanks for the instruction though.
I used this hard drive in my mac and now I want to use it on my windows PC and it seems that it does not read it. Can I use this hard drive exchangably?
@@alehlete830 I didn’t have an extra USB port either. Luckily USB extenders are usually less than ten dollars. They plug into a USB port but turn into into four or more.
Hi help please I woke up today to find the part at 4:05 the "mini usb" has broken off any advice as to how i can get this fixed or if not how I can transfer the info on the Seagate to another device? Thanks in advance
@@wildchild3959 a lot of reviews on amazon have said the HD stops working even if you maintain it also I had to contact Seagate for a replacement and that was hell my first dropped on soft carpet barely like enough for somethibg else to be damaged and i lost everything.
When it comes to using this stuff I am a noob. I have just bought the 2TB/2 Drive backup drive. I have not connected it yet. I am trying to figure out (a) can I pick which of the two drives I use? Why? I have most of my personal stuff on my logical D drive, and official stuff and systems stuff on C drive, AND I would like to save them on different drives. 2d, Can I copy the OS (MS v10)?
If anyone is curious on durability of these I can personally say that they are little tanks I didnt get to open mine.... my pitbull did for me and chewed it a little bit and it still worked perfect to this day bought it 8 years ago or so
that connector is USB 3.0.. which is fairly fast. however the cable youre showing coverts to USB A which is pretty much as slow as you can get. so despite how fast the drive may operate potentially... data transer will always be slow.... and likely not fast enough to use it as a boot up for any modern computer.. Mac or PC. definately not the new Macs...
Great video - thank you - I have a question - I have a Seagate external unit programmed for an automatic nightly back up. Mid-day, not during a back up session, I needed to retrieve a file from the Seagate unit & I successfully did so but forgot to close out of the session. Will the automatic programmed nightly back up still occur or does the Seagate need to be in an idle state ?
Hi, can you use it just for backing up your system , backing up your home directory or system, im new to this on Linux for example , for backing up , on linux there is Backup tool or Timeshift, or is it just for files? Thank you

Hey i have a question. I plug my drive its a 500gb, but when i click on it it show "Seagate Expansion Drive" and i cant put file in to the drive, whats the problem?
hi Expert, some times i download movie to seagate 4T portable, i hear metal scratching sound inside the drive. Then next day the file is corrupted! why? So bad seagate quality!
how do you copy one seagats contents to another? i bought a cloner and i dont think it fits the seagate. is there a cloner for cloneing this specific type of hard drive?
Hi, I am hoping you would help me with my problem. I cannot transfer my file on my Seagate 2 tb and when my computer trying to detect a problem the harddrive suddenly turn off.I need help thanks
Hi there. I have the green seagate hard drive. Mine is in my x box series x. Is it normal for the hard drive to flash a lot, even when you not playing the Xbox. It’s a solid flash, then about five single flashes, then it goes off, then a minute or so it happens again. Is this normal please. Thanks Alan 👍
If you plug it into your computer and your computer finishes reading the file, if you unplug the sea gate from your computer (not disconnect it) just unplug the cord from your computer does the hard drive stay in your computer?
There must be a step missing. Because I can not drag anything into the drive. I try dragging a video and files into it and it just goes back to where it came from. HOW DO I GET FILES ONTO THIS DRIVE?
does anybody have any idea why does mine not show anything on my mac? I believe its scanning bc it shows lights n everything but it wont show anything. also i got it yeaars ago
I have that portable drive, but i have problem and idk what to do..... it still shows the files that's inside it but.... I can no longer transfer file from my pc to portable not anymore... :( how can I solve this problem?>?
I have a problem with my seagate hard drive. I have some games and software to install but I cannot set my drive to where content is saved, when I try to save apps to seagate it gives me “ Error code 0x80070002” please help me out
so basically on my Laptop i dont have enough storage to get the game that i want its 90 Gb so i got this seagate hard drive. can you get games and stuff even if you dont have enough storage or is it just files.
So would this be good for streaming and whatnot? I need more space for games as they are high in gb typically 80 per, and since its HDD and my current laptop is i5 gen 8 256Gb SSD 2 Gb Vram 8GB memory, is this worth getting?
Can you use it for ps4 because the other one is like $150 and I want the one your showing but can I use or is it supported for the ps4 cause i need more game storage
For anyone wondering about conversions:
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
edit: thanks for the corrections!
1000 terabytes = “DAMN where can I get that”

Great. Now, how do I transfer photos back to my MacAir to use in. Power Point? Any youtube for that?
is the one touch seagate portable storage the same?
do I have to plug it in to the blue usb???
Will it extend my storage because I’m out of storage and I need more
I'm not technical wise. Can you show me ho use the one touch once I installed it on windows 10?
Can I use a different cable on this seagate drive? For example would a USB A to micro B cable work on it?
If anyone is curious on durability of these I can personally say that they are little tanks

Thank you for sharing, not only this video but your channel in general 🙏❤️
does it work on games
is it just plug and use and also can you also put games on it
Thats what its design is for yeah you can put games and even steam games just dont drop it...
