Not on the same level as my previous Lacie
I used to have an 8TB Lacie, which was firstly completely silent and vibration-free and secondly had an on/off switch. So you could switch it on when you needed it (me for backups). The Seagate thing, on the other hand, is a rumbler. It's actually not that loud, but you can definitely feel the vibration on the table. Since it also doesn't have an on/off switch, when you don't need the disc at the moment, you have to. Disconnect the power supply from the mains or you'll have the rumble all the time. I can live with it now, in 1 year I will need a bigger disc anyway, but it will be a Lacie again, with which I have always done well over the years - completely noiseless, nice to look at and, above all, can be switched off when not in use.
Pro
- Cheap
- Seagate has a good name in discs
Contra
- Rough
- No on/off switch
- No USB-C, but USB-3 port
- Seems cheap - well, it is...

Means against encryption trojans
I bought the Expansion Desktop as an external backup that can be separated from the system to protect myself against encryption Trojans. It is connected to a switched power strip because it lacks an on/off switch (which is why I deducted one star).
Pro
- USB 3.0
- Almost noiseless
- Fast data transfer
Contra
- No on/off switch
