Will this Adapter work with the Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA4000100)

I believe so. If it the desktop model. Check and see if the bottom part pops off. If it does, then yes.

EDIT - Yes, the SCA4000100 works with the Seagate TB adapter. It turns out the seller Amazon used to fill this order sent the right box but the wrong drive inside. Amazon refunded me and I ordered from a seller with a higher customer feedback rating, so hopefully sometime next week I will be able to use my adapter. I'm sitting here with the STCA4000100 HD and the Seagate TB adapter. Unless I am missing something, there is no way that this HD fits into this adapter. Nothing pops or pulls off the HD either.

It should work. The bottom piece of the drive pulls off to expose the connectors, so that you can just slip the drive onto the Thunderbolt adapter

I was able to use it on my 500BG Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex which only had a 2.0 USB adapter originally. No problems. It does not come with cables though.

yes, but check at the seagate website. beware, it is a 5400 rpm drive, not 7200, does defeat the purpose of usb 3.0 somewhat.

It works with any Sata drive. Mine is Seagate 5400.6 500GB. I am sure it works with your hard drive

I have Seagate 3TB external HD USB 3 and it works with this ok it just takes awhile on reboot or start up for Windows 7 to pick it up.

I believe so, there is an USB 2.0 port in the back. Note: I only use the STAK100 for my two Seagate 1.5TB 2.5 portable drives. I use an Seagate FreeAgent Home 1TB to connect my 1.5TB FreeAgent Goflex Desk or any brand of USB storage device, even and usb powered hub to add more drives.

Yes, I am successfully using this with all my USB 3.0 External Hard Drives 2 1/2" (Seagate's and Toshiba's) ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. Works like a champ. I am using this on a Windows 7 Home tower computer I built (Intel platform). This unit provides enough power to run the external hard drives at USB spec 3.0.

It did not fit the 3.0 port on my Western Digital external hard drive. Not familiar with Seagate port. 2.0 port cable does fit into the esata port on my Dell Studio 17 laptop.I use a cable with 2.0 on one end for laptop esata and 3.0 on other end for WD external. It came included with the WD hard drive.

No. The Backup Plus is a portable hard drive, which means it's using a smaller laptop hard drive inside. This is meant for their Seagate GoFlex drive which is non portable and uses a larger desktop drive. My advice would be to get a portable USB enclosure with USB 3.0 compatibility, take the actual hard drive out of your Backup Plus, and put it in the new enclosure.

I have several Seagate 4 TB drives plugged into my StarTech Hard Drive Enclosures, so 3 TB should be no problem.

Not sure I've been using it on my Seagate 1tb external drive and haven't had any problems wish I knew sorry

Yes, Amazon does show the thunderbolt adapter.Seagate Backup Plus Portable Thunderbolt Adapter (STAE128)The Thunderbolt adapter is separate but does provide faster speeds over firewire and USB 3.0.Please remember you need to have a thunderbolt port to use with the adapter.Also consider getting a thunderbolt cable if you get the adapter.I did not notice the thunderbolt adapter including thunderbolt cables. Thunderbolt ports are common on most newer apple computers.

Yes, it works with 4TB, Seagate Desktop Solid State Hybrid Drive - 4 TB, 8 GB Flash, 3.5 in, SATA-600, Buffer 64 MB, Internal - ST4000DX001, so should work with WD drive.

Yep. My Seagate Desktop 4TB HDD had no problem connecting, so you should have no trouble.

adapter works great, but the only issue I had was when I tried another brand of hard drive not a seagate on it, it crawled at a snails pace. Switched it to even an old internal 2.5 from a macbook and it flew. It must look for a seagate firmware drive too.

Do not know the answer to this; I used it only on the Seagate drive specified in the product description above.

This WILL work with drives larger than 3TB. I have one of the new 8TB SeaGate drives in one and it works perfectly.
