Load all my music, pictures, and video still have over one half of it left for future storage. Easy hookup to load information. Would purchase the same one if needed.

Holds enough for my 3 computers. Easy to download and put all my information and items on it. For the price 1TB was total worth it.

Nothing much to write about. It's a terabyte of storage in a slim case. Works well.

Make sure that you have USB 3.0 drivers installed to get the most performance out of this hard drive....and make sure the USB slot on your computer that you plug this into is the blue one. It will still work on the white or black one, but the blue one is faster (if you have one).

This replaces an older Seagate unit with a smaller capacity. It came at a reasonable cost, easy to set up, and offered 2 TB memory -- that met my needs so I did not do any comparison shopping. I was pleasantly surprised to find it backed up some programs as well as my files.

I had one previously that lasted through two graduate degrees and three years of me teaching, so when that one crashed, I bought another Seagate with more memory!

1TB offers a large amount of storage and is small enough to carry in bag. Great for anyone who want to have info readily available or just extra storage or backup.

I purchased WD before and it did not work. Shifted to Senate and it was a good move. This portable HD is working fine without heating up. Although box does not specifically mentions this, it is USB3.0 with backward compatibility to 2.0. All in all it was a good purchase.

Honestly - looks sleeker than WD passport and cost-wise 5-10 dollars cheaper. This is my third Seagate purchase. I would recommend this anytime compared to WD.
