    Size and weight is great but it doesn't come with any case to protect it. It would be perfect if it was wrapped with some type of rubber case.

    I hadn't purchased another 1TB drive from any company for years after my previous one had issues within a few years. But this drive is smaller, quieter and sits easily on a small desk. If it's not running in a few years, I may change my tune. But for now, I am pleased and I hope you will be too.

    Great product at a great price. Superfast USB3 makes a big difference over USB2, and just plug it in and you're good to go.

    Backing up is not my favorite thing to do but then again neither is cleaning my teeth. However, when the dentist tells me I've obviated the need for serious and expensive procedures because I brush and floss every day, well, it makes the time worth it. So I carry a roll of floss in my backpack and use it every day. Same goes for backing up. The Backup Plus Slim is my stress-free solution to losing my valuable data.

    This external drive was what i needed. Although I was disappointed at the time I spent trying to understand what few instructions there were. Here is my comment to Manufacturers. "Please consider the fact that there are people buying your product that know absolutely nothing about it and need very basic instructions to operate it the first time.

    The drive backs up my hard drive running Windows 8.1 well, but the Windows icon in the "Action Center" still does NOT recognize it to be connected and I continue to get the error message.

    as the owner of 2 table top 4 TB Seagate hard drives, I decided to add a smaller more portable unit to my arsenal, I am a Photographer and having a dependable unit for both travel and storage is an absolute must. Seagate and Best Buy!! A good combination.

    I have mostly pictures that can't be replaced on my computer and have been fortunate to never have had a computer crash. I decided it was time to stop taking chances. I was concerned that it would be hard to back things up and expected a bulky storage unit. Not so with this one and it is easy to take with you if you want to.
