## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good enough quality but don't expect an Exos drive in the casing
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in India on 27 October 2022*

It is one of the most effective external storage solutions with definite value for money per terrabyte. But please note these are not your EXOS server or even a desktop drive. their purpose is storage and backup. Do not try to use them as external active HDD. They are designed for linear writing and not random read/write of data. Do the latter long enough and you might break down the drive. However, for storage and write once large data for backup purpose, this device is as good as you can get for this price range. The data recovery warranty I haven't used, but I guess that will be a good thing too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Drive has changed, but still good
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in India on 21 January 2022*

This is my second unit. It cost me about 15% more than the previous one, which I bought in the beginning of 2021. That's quite a bit of escalation. Seagate no longer puts in the excellent Enterprise Helium-filled drives in these, instead it looks like a standard CMR 4-platter (or 5) design.I get about 260MB/s write speed at the beginning of the drive, and for mixed small files it's still stays above 40MB/s (which is actually excellent). When writing very small files (<2kB) such as scripts and blank texture files it slows down to 10MB/s, which is acceptable. While I haven't run a full speed test, it should still have the same speed as its predecessor.It is very noisy (large drives tend to be), so don't plan on using it next to your desktop. For archiving, this is the best you can get. Windows power-saving works fine, for Linux you need hd-idle package or other method to spin down.It's a heavy drive but very well-ventilated. Unlike the coffin-like Expansion series, there is an almost open top grate that allows heat to move quickly, another indication of a lower quality drive inside. Seagate might have improved, I have quite a few of their external units and the flaky reliability of the last few decades has not resurfaced.

    For TERA-Capacity with 'EX0S' Drive.
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in India on 5 February 2023*

Great PRODUCT. Hard Drive (STKP16000402) 'EX0S Drive' inside.TIP: Buy from 'Appario Retail Private Ltd' they ask for a reasonable price.16 TB ('terabyte in decimal' NOT 'tebibyte in Binary') in Decimal Bit-unit so about 14,900 GB('gibibyte in Binary' NOT 'gigabyte in decimal') in Binary Bits.Difference:1 TB(terabyte) = 1000 GB(gigabyte) {in decimal}1 TB(tebibyte) = 1024 GB(gibibyte) {in Binary}Therefore,1 TB(terabyte in decimal) = 931 GB(gibibyte in Binary) approx.That's why when we buy microSD Card it shows less in mobile device than what was branded for.Manufacturers use/brand in 'decimal' where as we all know digital computers are 'binary' at their core + the OS takes a bunch more.[This may me confusing cause mostly we say "tebibyte as terabyte" & "gibibyte as gigabyte"]{Linked Website for better understanding- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte}
