I have multiple Seagate external hard drives, does the rescue plan cover all of them or do I have to buy separate rescue plans for each drive?

Hi, it is one individual plan to one drive, and the plan is tied to a specific serial number for the drive. They need to be purchased together, but I believe you may be able to purchase the plan and register it up to 30 days after you purchase a drive. Hope this helps.

Its by drive serial number, so you will have to buy one per each drive and register them individually. I do not know what the policy is on these for existing drives, I've only ever bought the plan with new external drives in the same order.

I just used one HD and screwed it in to the holes in the bottom part of the chassis. Not sure what I would do about the second drive.

Try using Seagate Dashboard 3.0 and following the instructions for remote saving of specified data. I have call the help line and found them to be extremely helpful. Note that some areas I hoped were included as part of the remote backup and access were not available. I apparently misread the features/instructions.

Unfortunately, there probably are those occasions where items just malfunction. I have not had that experience to date (fingers crossed), but these external hard drives all seem to eventually die. The best back-up is to have two and to also use some type of internet or Cloud back up for important files and documents.

I run 7 powered Seagate 3tb drives and it work fine. each drive has it own power transformer. I also, at times, run 4 power Seagate drives and 3 non-powered portable drives. it work fine.

Yes, it does. You can use one 2TB HDD as your main drive and the other as your backup, or you can use both HDDs at the same time for a combined 4TB HDD.

It will back up the computer it is connected to and the files you identify for backup. I don't think you can partition the Clickfree drive so all your files from 2 or more computers would be lumped together. I prefer a separate backup for each computer.

The seagate drive is an external drive for backup which is what I use if for. Why would you want to backup one storage device to another? To do this you would need to copy from one device to another using a computer, laptop, tablet etc to move the date from 1 device to another

Generally, Western Digital, like Seagate and others, limits their warranty to physical replacement of the drive if found to be defective. The warranty does not cover data recovery. The 3 year warranty was a positive in my decision to buy.

No you don't have to but if you start with 3 that should be good so in your case 3 tb per hard drive you will get 6 tb only out of 3 hard drives but worth it

Hi, it applies to new hard drives only - purchased with the plan. Hope this helps. Have a great day.

like everyone else said you will see 4 separate drives if you are looking to pool your drives though I would suggest StableBit DrivePool it isn't free but it works great and it is only $20

My external Seagate Backup PLus 4TB Desktop Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA4000100) works perfectly with KDLINKS, my hard drives are automatically formatted to NTFS.

Yes with three provisos. First what you are backing up must easily fit into two 3TB of space. Second, the Seagate could also crash and third, you need to use a back-up program which makes the Seagate a startup drive. I use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

Yes. Transfer the files on to one or two of the drives, put the other 2 in the drobo and initialize them, then transfer all the files to the drobo, then put the other 2 drives in the drobo and they will be formatted and all the files will be protected.
