Almost perfect external HDD
The Firecuda Gaming Hub is, in my eyes, the best external hard drive I have ever owned. It offers a lot of storage space, is lightning fast in response, and has a consistently high data transfer rate. The only negative points are the access noise and the LED lighting, which I find useless. Nevertheless, I recommend the hard drive without hesitation because Seagate offers an absolute top product here, due to the above-mentioned reasons!
Pro
- Large storage capacity
- Very high speed for HDD conditions (>200mbit/s)
- Soft rubber feet, thus
- hardly any resonance on the surface
- Fast access time (response time)
- Cool optics
- Relatively cheap
Contra
- Audible access noise
- Flashing LED
- Boot time somewhat increased
Diese maschin gut
Pro
- Baba terrabits
- Sweet lights
- Fast transfer

macOS support not great, no usb-C direct connection, but fine otherwise
I was expecting to be able to connect the drive to my macbook with an usb C cable, but in this case nothing happens, the drive doesn't even start to spin. So you need to use the good old usb 3.x cable (included) + your own usb A to usb C adapter to use this product with a recent mac.
And small thing: the "Toolkit" tool from Seagate is not able to change the way the LEDs are used (RGB, etc.) under macOS, so it is also a small negative point.
But otherwise the drive works fine as a Time Machine disk.
Pro
- Fine as Time Machine drive
Contra
- USB C not really usable
- no RGB settings under macOS

Easy to operate
The normal USB cable (i.e. not usb c) must be plugged in for the hard drive to run. It is automatically switched off when it is ejected.
Pro
- Easy to operate
Contra
- No switch-off button

Good, but beware of noise and vibrations.
The disc makes a lot of noise and vibrations. For comparison. My old 5TB Porsche LaCie is much quieter. You can't tell if it's on or off. In short, it's clear when the Seagate is on. It's a shame.
Pro
- Capacity
- Ease of use
- The customisable LED banner
- Front USB ports
- Transfer rate
Contra
- Vibrations
- Noise

Super
Very good hard drive, we find the announced performances:
215mo/s in copy on a Samsung EVO 970 Pro
Very good design and fits perfectly in a "geek" atmosphere
Possibility to set the LEDs, several brightness features.
It scratches a bit during access, which is normal for a mechanical drive, but it has a bit of 90's nostalgia without being too loud or intrusive. Quiet in playback.
And especially an excellent value for money. about 300.- for 16TB hard to find better.Pro
- Large storage capacity
- nice design
- LED function
- USB-C and USB 3 front port
- Relatively quiet
First joy clouded
I wouldn't buy it again despite the chic design, write rate simply too low for my liking.
Pro
- Installation without problems
- LED adjustability super
- Almost no noise during operation
Contra
- Speed leaves much to be desired
