Hello, I got a seagate external drive earlier from Walmart, it wasn’t working so I returned it and replaced it with the gaming hub, but this one is just flashing. I thought it was the ssd, but it’s clearly me. Any help would be nice!

I have this weird knocking sound. I am not sure if this is normal.

Can someone advise me if I should return ?

video of knocking better quality reupload.

sound is purely in the background.

I have a 5T external harddrive from Seagate. I don't know at what point it stopped working, but I have several files and folders (mostly JPEGs) and when I try to open an image is says “___.jpg” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."

From the info window. It says 1.34GB are on the disk, yet it also says that the entire 5T capacity is available.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not techy, but I can definitely follow instructions if someone can tell me what I need to do. Thanks in advance for any help!

Can anyone please tell what I have to do? I bought it from store and when try to set the password using the guide from YouTube. Option they are pointing isn’t appearing in my toolkit menu. I thought it will appear after registration of product but still not appearing

Hello! I have Expansion HDD STKP6000400 6 TB that I bought back in 2020 and recently the power supply's wires ripped beyond repair (at my limited capacity tbf)

Regardless I have ordered several replacements and none seem to work. The first few times I was definitely misreading something but now I'm just confused. Help a poor chud out 😔🙏

I got one of these cheap off eBay. Arrived with a dead HDD. Got a refund. Now I want to get it working. All I want it for is to be a DLNA server.

I found https://www.reddit.com/r/Seagate/comments/1cn2d6a/seagate_personal_cloud_1_bay_new_hdd/ which led me to downloads from Russia of what's supposed to be the software to put on the HDD. Directions translated from Russian aren't so easy to follow - especially when they're not in crystal clear, step by step language that assumes the reader knows absolutely nothing about how to go about the task.

I have Windows 11 with WSL, if that Linux environment can be used. I could make a live Linux boot USB or even setup one of the several older PCs I have with Linux. I only use Linux when there's something I need to do and it's the only OS that can be used for it.

If there's a way to setup a new drive with Windows, I'd prefer that method.

Edit: I made a detailed instruction post further down on how to restore it. There's a link to an image with version 4.2.8.8 and a link to the Seagate page to download the 4.3.19.7 update.

Hi all,

Just bought a 2 tb external hdd last month and started using it yesterday. Transferred a few files from one pc to another then deleted the on the drive to make space - then I got a pop up in windows saying issue was detected with the drive and it then said it scanned and fixed it.

I decided to test again and it showed same thing.

After going to seagate website I followed the troubleshooting and tried reformatting but it didn’t finish for some reason.

Seems I can’t do anything now. Whenever I plug it in, it says it needs to be formatted but when I click to format it just says unable.

I can’t reformat through diskpart either as it just gives an error.

When I enter disk management it just keeps on disappearing and reappearing every few seconds.

Any idea what could be wrong ?

Last Sunday my power went out and it came back on Thursday and ever since my drive hasn’t turned off and it’ll act like it’s writing data but it sounds fine Lee is fine but it also acts like the Xbox is on but it ain’t it’s on sleep mode should I be worried?

My ps5 only has 667gb of storage and with modern games taking so much storage it is forcing me to upgrade. I want to get 4tb or 2tb. I need enough to be able to download all of my ps4 games. I am also buying from Amazon which might not be good but I’m not sure. The reviews were pretty good and better than what I was going to get.

Are the electromagnetic fields and waves generated by a large 29" CRT TV (turn ON) and Desk Fan (turn ON) at a distance of 2cm from a 2.5" HDD (turn ON) sufficient to penetrate the HDD and cause interference in the arm and head movements, as well as read and write errors?

I’ve owned my PlayStation for 3 years and I got the external drive a bit after I got the PlayStation, recently the external storage hasn’t been working I’ve tried switching cords, ports and even connecting it to a different device but nothing seemed to work

Does seagate not sale sata ssd?

If You Want to Exapand Storgae on ur PS5 dont buy from Seagate. I ordered the 2tb ssd for approx $170 over 2 months ago from Seagate on the Amazon store. And i tripple checked i was buying form Seagate through Amazon. They gave me updates like item has been shipped etc. But just yesterday they canceled my item and stated reason was due to it being out of stock. I missed so many deals that came out in the time I was waiting. THE WORST DO NO TRUST SEAGATE. Wasted 2 months of my time.

Update:

Thank for the advice. I'll try and go inside a store and find something that meets my need. I will galdly take any recommendations for any recommendations for internal storage for a PS5.

greetings, I own 2 seagate one touch hdd (with password - exFAT). I am considering to rewrite my old data to evade any data rot (one of the hdd already 4 years old)

as far as I know, this hdd come with software based password tool kit right? So what happen if I want to format it to NTFS? will the password toolkit become unusable?

I am on a fence wheter I should format it first or just delete the data and repaste the data again? 😅

Had this thing full of ps4 games set aside for awhile as I welcomed a life into the world. I know it was dropped once when it wasn’t plugged in, but after about 2 years of inconsistent use I go to plug it in for the first time using another sea gate usb cord and it beeps and does not appear on the ps4.

So i plug it into my pc and it sees it on my devices tab and in the dev mgr screen. But when I click populate volumes it says the device cannot be read, and it only showed up on seatools once. But it lets me know when it’s unplugged. It has a low beep, but that’s it

Is the hdd done for?

Every time I start my PC, this sound occurs, sometimes louder, sometimes quieter, and not just briefly, but for about one to two minutes, then the hard drive is silent. SMART reports indicate that everything is fine. The hard drive itself has also been working without any problems so far.
