    Software isn't very good

    The hardware does what's it's supposed to do: it's just a fancy thumb drive with a a lot more capacity. The automatic software for backing up is awful. It backs up only what is new in a separate file with an impenetrable and meaningless file name. So, if I am looking for something, I have to make my way through any number of files. I simply move things I want to save manually. I'd recommend this if I really didn't like you.

    I had bought another brand of portable memory before this one and it stopped working the day after I bought it so I got this one instead and its worked great and fast, I feel very secure having my personal pics, music and ipod movies stored safely on my new lightweight but durable memory!

    I’m happy with the purchase. Small and fits in my hand and it doesn’t get in the way. My old hard drive is 4 times as big and probably 8 times as heavy with half the storage. Works as advertised, screamingly fast backups, delivered on time for a fair price.

    I use this to backup my data. files and photos. But then I think I will store the photos to another hard drive together with my music videos and movies. I plan to buy another seagate portable drive so I can take it with me when visiting my relatives and friends.It easily SLIP to the pocket.

    I purchased this when my old laptop finally bit the dust and I was scared I was going to lose all my data, Best Buy Geek Squad did the trick and fast and efficient. I'm very pleased with my purchase was able to back up my two desk tops and my phone data and still have more than ample space.
