    About a year ago my wife's computer crashed and we lost many of our pictures. While we were able to recover some of them, we realized we needed a hard drive for backup. The one terabyte Seagate external hard drive has been perfect for my wife's laptop. We were able to move over 2000 pictures with plenty of space left over. The price is great and as I own several Seagate external hard drives they seem almost Bulletproof.

    By far the best investment for peace of mind. I originally purchased one for work. When the time came to purchase a new home computer and transfer the data from my 10 year old VAIO, I went back to Seagate for this reliable hard drive. It is easy to use, fast, economical, and reliable. The price was very competitive and the Seagate name brings peace of mind.

    The Seagate Backup Plus External Drive is great! It takes up very little space on a desk yet holds 1TB of data. Because it is compact, it is easy to take with you when traveling. I would recommend the Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 1TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive to anyone needing to backup important documents. It is also very reasonably priced.

    These Hard drives are great. I currently own 6 of them. My production company uses tons of hard drive space. We are constantly on location dumping cards and these are perfect for us.

    Love this thing can't beat the price, quality & the HUGE AMOUNT OF SPACE !! One drawback is that the compatibility between my Galaxy & this unit is not greatest cuz it does not have a USB output & I need to use an adapter to make it work so speed is only issue ...

    Just plug it in and it's basically ready to use. Holds more space than you'll know what to do with... until you realize it's all filled up! Then buy another!

    As always I kept saying I needed to backup my important files, but never did it. Then a friend said they had a hard drive crash and lost everything. I had flash drives all over the place, but nothing in order, I knew it was now time so I bought the Seagate. Everything is now saved and in order thank goodness. I got is while it was on sale and it has more space on it then I will ever need. Easy and safe and perfect.

    This HDD comes in several sizes, i decided to pick 1TB as that was enough for me. 1TB disk also looks slim and nicer than the larger 2TB drives. The black color looks the best to me, but silver and even blue are pretty nice. The average speeds I got from this disk copying to SSD were around 80MB per second , which is pretty much the maximum for the disk, and is not a restriction on USB3 or SATA interface. I cannot speak to its reliability as i had it only for couple of months, but so far i have not experienced any problems. overall, i consider it a good purchase and would recommend, in fact i have recommended it to my friend.

    It's a really great drive, very fast and reliable. The only thing I have to mention is my daughter has a Macbook Pro, and when she plugged it in and tried to use it, she could only READ NOT WRITE. I checked and the default format for the drive is NTFS, which her Macbook Pro running OSX 10.10 could not write. I had her launch Disk Utility and Erase, format FAT Extended, Quick It took a few seconds, and then it showed up where she had to click in Finder to open it, then it showed as mounted. From there, she was able to copy fine. Like I said, it's very reliable and fast once you do this quick step on the Macbook.

    When I bought this it was on sale for $60. It was a great deal for an extra 1tb of space. I mainly got it to use with my xbox one and its been perfect for that so far!

    I was looking for a small, inexpensive back-up drive and this little guy is perfect. Runs off USB power so there's not a mess of cables and it's quick and easy to use.
