Seagate Expansion 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STAY3000102 Reviews
| 159 of 167 people found the following review helpful  Sara Plain and Tall, This review is from: Seagate Expansion 2 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STAY2000102 (Personal Computers) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) This external drive lives in the plainest of black plastic cases. On the front is an all white Seagate logo and next to that a small green LED power/busy light. Plug it in and you'll find few files stored in it. A back-up utility, some set-up files, user guides and not much else. Just a lot of empty space. No stands, no back-lit logos, no extra inputs. On the back you'll find a power input and a USB 3 jack. In the box you'll find the USB cable and power adapter that plug into those jacks, as well as a quick start sheet and warranty card all packed in eco-friendly packaging. This is as simple and plain as it gets.I started by plugging this into a netbook running Windows 7. Windows recognized it immediately and asked if I'd like to use it as a back-up drive which I did. It was easy and problem-free. The Seagate Expansion hard drive is set-up for Windows computers, but if you're willing to take a minute to reformat it, it'll work fine for Apple users too...

When I received the box, I realized something was wrong. It rattled -- never a good sign with an electronic component. Something was loose within the hard drive's casing. Nonetheless, it seemed to work fine, powering on when I plugged in the power adapter. When I inserted the USB cable, Windows 7 recognized the drive just fine. I formatted the drive, removing all of Seagate's pre-installed software and proceeded to copy over 50 GBs of music. This took approximately an hour, at a speed of 16 mb/s over USB 2.0; not blazing fast, but acceptable.So far, rattling aside, it seemed to be a reasonable product. I was going to test USB 3.0 when I copied the files back to my PC after a fresh Windows 7 install. I unhooked it from my computer and removed the power cable to turn the drive off. The enclosure never powered back on. It was not asleep -- it was dead. No amount of unplugging and replugging the power cord back in would bring it back. The only option to get my data...

We noticed your review and wanted to comment on your experience with our Expansion drive. It is certainly not typical for this drive to have any rattling noise. In the future, if you should ever have any problems with our drives I would contact us first so we can first verify the problem, and then go over your return and data recovery options. It's best if this is done before any disassembly of the drive is done to preserve the warranty on the drive. The Expansion drives come with USB 2 or USB 3 data connections only. No eSATA is available on this model. If you are looking for a powered eSATA connection we do have this available as an option on our GoFlex Ultra Portable drives: http://ow.ly/6gNaX If you have any remaining questions or concerns, we would be happy to help using any of the support services we provide.

This is my third HDD in 3 years. One is a WD My Book 1TB that I use to back up to a Vista PC. The other is a Seagate GoFlex that I carry with me for my laptop. I got this one to provide more disk space for videos on my desk top.It is an attractive unit with a matte black finish. It sits flat on 4 rubber feet which I like better than my upright WD. Unlike the WD, this has cooling vents on the bottom and feels cooler and quieter than my WD. There is an indicator light but no on/off switch. The Seagate is simplicity itself to set up. Attach the power cord (it uses a two-blade plug) and then fit the USB lead and off you go. No formatting is needed on a Windows machine. You can drag and drop files right in. It is just like having another partition on your hard drive. File transfer is as good as the WD with the USB 2.0. I copied a 1 GB file in 1min. 20 seconds. It can be attached to USB 3.0 which is supposed to be up to 10X faster. The actual... Read more The manufacturer commented on this review( What's this?) Posted on Aug 11, 2011 12:18:50 PM PDT Seagate Support says: Dear Bill Cashell, This response is from Seagate Support and we'd like to take a moment to thank you for your feedback. We're glad you are enjoying our Expansion drive. We did want to share a little information about the lack of a power button. The Expansion drives, as with many of our drives, do not include a power button since the drive has a sleep function built in. The length of time can be adjusted through the Dashboard software that is included with your drive. The sleep function is triggered when there is no activity for the set number of minutes. If you have any other questions or concerns, we would be happy to help using any of the support services we provide.
