Seagate - 250GB External USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive

This hard drive was easy to use and has a pretty good warranty on it. The memory for the price was great and not I don't have to worry about losing all my valuable pictures and video! I also am very please with its small size.

Bought this to use as storage for a video game system. Works great right out of the box. Just $50 for 250 GB External. Sleek looking case. Stays pretty cool while operating. Very small, compact, and extremely portable. Thinking about ordering another one just to have a spare in case a need comes up for it.

This is a great product, I was skeptical, but was profoundly surprised by the ease of use and worth of the hard drive. I am a teacher and I use my home computer for some of my stuff and this HD is perfect for moving big files back and forth. I would recommend this to any one who has access to multiple computers, but do not want to carry a laptop for you many files.

I have had one of these little drives for nearly 2 years and it is still chugging right along. I have had a cheaper Western Digital that has bitten the dust in about 6 months. I will only buy Seagate drives from now on. You might have to pay a little more for these drives but they are totally worth it. This should be the biggest factor in purchasing an external drive. Western Digital drives come with a 2 year warranty. This means that they think that their drives will die somewhere just past the 2 year life of the drive. Seagate has a 5 year warranty. This means that they think that their drives will last more than 5 years. Major difference. Save your time, memories, productivity, and sanity buy going with a real hard drive company like Seagate.

Overall I think it was a good buy. You will probably find other hardrives with more space for a cheaper price, but this offers a decent warranty and doesn't come from a no name company. It worked seamlessly with windows seven, and it was immediately working straight out of the box. My only complaint is that the cover plastic is this shiny mirror plastic that will blatantly show any and all fingerprints and dust. Of course that is also my only problem with this drive. I wasn't looking for a big drive, just a standard backup. This is one of the few smaller ones that is of decent price.

Wish it had a little bigger capacity. I thought it was 250gb but in reality it is only 232gb. Otherwise I bought the replica software that is offered to you when you register the product and it is really easy to use. Now my harddrive is fully backed up every time a change is made to it. The full hard drive, not just documents. I am very pleased with this product and would definately buy it again.

Anyway it worth the price, a lot of storage opportunity, very heavy for a portable device, and useful for any laptop that makes you keep the good performance.

The external drive works very well so far--it seems fast and while not the largest of external drives in terms of space, sufficient for my needs. The body seems delicate compared to an older external Seagate USB drive I have which had a very rugged body. The USB cord is useable but much shorter than I would have thought and the part of the cable that connects to the external drive is specific to that connection so if the cord is lost, the drive would be useless. Given the sale price, it seemed like an excellent purchase for its size.
