    I like the thin small size and built tough for shipping. I'd like to see more colors. Works well!

    It really is a good external hard drive. It's compact, lightweight, quiet, I haven't had any cooling problems. So far so good at three months of ownership. I couldn't ask for much more.

    Easy to use. Lightweight, making it portable and easy to carry in bag without taking up a great deal of room. Only disadvantage is if you lose the cable, the connection for the unit is not a traditional micro USB connection. So to ensure I don't lose it, I just keep cable plugged into device.

    This purchase has been terrific for my family. We use it most of the time. I like the color too. I looked at several and chose this one. The Traverse City store is large. It has many, many different items for sale. There is lot of items of one thing to look at and choose. This has a good price and so does most of the items they have for sale. I like what I bought. I like the way I use it. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    We need more space for our system. This works great and is compatible with our system. We did review this before buying as well as price matched. Best Buy had the best price.

    I bought this hard drive with the express intent of using it to create a backup for my PS4 just in case the system's built-in drive failed, and while I haven't had to utilize the backup that I made, I will say that this hard drive is amazing! It runs really quietly, has a super slim profile, and sends/receives data at super high speeds. With Sony introducing expanded storage to the PS4, and the Xbox One already having a similar feature, I fully intend to buy this exact same drive in a higher capacity in the near future, and can only recommend that people in the market for a good external to use with those features do the same.

    Having owned many external hard drives over the years, I seem to always have the best luck with Seagate. The Backup Plus Slim offers plenty of storage in a small, portable package.

    Good Little Drive

    Its USB3.0 and self powered, it makes a good snatch and grab device for personal items like photos and such. Words of Caution!!!! NONE of this type of drive are meant to be always attached to any computer. I've had multiple failures on similar drives costing hundreds of dollars to recover if even possible... You plug it in, do what you need, unplug it and store it with your "need to grab" items around the home/office.

    I've had the product a couple of months now and I find easy to use. I very much like the slim size and the feel of item. I haven't reached the maximum storage so far as I plan to use it only when I travel but the speed is pretty good.
