Technical Specifications

8TB Capacity for Backup and Archive Workflows

The Seagate Expansion 8TB External Hard Drive provides a substantial pool of external capacity for organisations and individuals that need to retain large quantities of data outside the computer’s internal storage. It can be used for workstation backups, project archives, photo and video libraries, business documents and secondary copies of important files. Actual usable capacity reported by an operating system will be lower than the nominal 8TB because of measurement conventions and formatting.

USB 3.0 Desktop Connectivity

The Seagate Expansion 8TB External Hard Drive uses USB 3.0 for connection to compatible computers. USB 3.0 supports efficient transfer of large folders and backup sets when connected to a suitable port, although real-world transfer performance depends on the computer, USB controller, file sizes and workload. The package includes the required USB cable as well as an 18W power adapter because this desktop drive is externally powered.

Simple Plug-and-Play Storage Expansion

The Seagate Expansion desktop family is designed for straightforward storage expansion. The Seagate Expansion 8TB External Hard Drive can be connected without opening the host computer, making it useful when internal drive bays are unavailable or when an organisation wants removable external capacity. Seagate describes drag-and-drop file saving and automatic recognition on compatible Windows and Mac computers. Time Machine use on a Mac may require reformatting.
