According to our external hard drive HDD expert
The Seagate Expansion Desktop 3TB is an external hard drive for your desktop PC. Thanks to the fast USB 3.0 connection, you can drag and drop vacation photos, movies, and music files from your computer to the external drive within seconds. Because this drive is plug and play, sharing these files with other computers is just as easy. Simply connect this model to any desktop or laptop with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port, and the drive will be ready to use. What if the device is connected, but isn't being used? In that case, it'll automatically switch to a energy-saving mode.

Connecting the drive is as simple as it can be. And you can use it right away without having to do anything. You can register the product if you want, but it is not necessary.
The length of the cables was not a problem for me, but if you have the drive about a meter from your computer, then the USB3 cable is a bit on the short side.
The drive can be heard clearly when it is on, but if you turn off the PC, the drive will remain off until you use it again. (So your PC is on all day, but you don't need any files from the disk, the disk remains on standby) The disk booting is nevertheless still smooth.

A nice design and not too large dimensions. The HD is a must for anyone who needs a large backup. I work with a Linux Mint PC and there was no problem at all, my PC recognized the HD immediately.

In itself a fine external HDD, but after three years it stops. So just don't buy it if you want to use it for more than three years. Seagate turns out to live up to its reputation of unreliability. Opt for a WD HDD, much better.
