    I used it to back up all of my photos and such from my laptop. My laptop seems to be running much faster now. I have not yet used it to access any of the data, but I assume it is fine.

    Again, plug it in and standback. Works as advertised and I am pleased. It's a passive unit - so there is really nothing to go wrong.

    No Instructions!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After reading the reviews on line, I was very positive about getting an external hard drive that was described as easy to use. However, there were no instructions with the hard drive or on-line that explained how to use it. This was very disappointing. Through trial and error, I was able to do what I needed to do, but felt totally lost and angry!

    worked great, for a while

    Worked fine in the beginning, transferred a lot of files without any problems. Shortly after that, could not access the drive, asked me if I wanted to format it. Plugged it into another computer, recognizes it too but cannot access it at all. Tried it on a third pc, same thing. Waiting for Seagate tech support to get back to me.

    Do not buy a Seagate product

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    You will regret it. I bought the external hard drive and used it 5 times in 6 months and then it failed. They won't honor the warranty. Lesson learned - buyer beware. I learned to never buy a Seagate product again. I would truly think twice about buying this product if I were you. I wish someone had warned me.

    Worst Portable Hard drive ever!!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Don't waste your time or money on this product, does not work with apple products, nor does it work with Xbox 360. I format it for mac then it will only work with mac now. Boo to Segate and boo to Bestbuy.com, thanks both of you for the headache.

    Very Disappointed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was less than a year old. I lost all my kids photos from when they were little. I am not sure what I was thinking putting them on one drive. I guess I was trusting in Seagate. Never again!
