    The wife needed a backup and a lot of room. Got this for her and it just plugged and played. It's small enough to carry when she needs to, but does everything it's supposed to do.

    I work on two desktops, an iMac and a PC, and I need to have my files available and backed up for both. I can and do use Dropbox, but I also want a physical, portable drive. I chose the Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1tb External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive because it is compatible with both systems, with no reformatting required. It has performed as advertised and as I had hoped. It was easy to set up, moves seamlessly between my two computers, and has fast transfer times.

    My hard drive failed on my PC.... fortunately I had backed up online. I had the Geek Squad repair my PC. I asked the technician to recommend an external hard drive to back up and keep at home. He suggested the Seagate Backup Plus Slim for its value and simplicity. It also came with a two year online backup service with "One Drive". The set up was easy. Installed software and plugged into my PC. There are some schedule options but I chose the onetime backup and just plug in occasionally to refresh, Happy with the hard drive and peace of mind knowing my files are safe from another hardware failure.

    This item is easy to install and pretty straight forward to use. I currently use it to back up my MacBook and it seems to get the job done. Seems to be pretty well made and durable. The price was reasonable for the amount of storage it supplies. It's a good buy.

    I bought this drive because it was on sale and I'm impressed with Seagate products. This did not disappoint. It's well built and feels sturdy. The included backup software works fine. Now I have to wait and see how good the data is restored to my laptop if it ever crashes.

    After my computer crashed, and I had to take it all the way back to restore it to the original condition when I purchased it, I learned to BACK UP my work. It was a mess to re install all I had on the computer.. Bacjup Plus Slim will be there for me if it ever happens again.
