    Formatted 1/2 of it (500 gigs) for Mac and left the rest FAT. Supports Time !achine on the Mac and allows me to move large files easily from Mac to PC.

    I just bought my wife a new laptop and I bought this external hard drive so I could move her files from her old computer to the new one. Easy to install, very fast transfer rate. She had a ton of photos and videos on her old laptop and after I transferred them to this drive, there's still plenty of room left. With this drive of 1TB and her new laptop having a 1 TB HDD, hopefully she won't be having any storage issues for a long time.

    Nice in size and portable so I can take it with me where ever I go . The storage capacity is perfect also . I'd recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a small hard drive . I bought it for a very reasonable price . The sales person at best buy was very helpful and if I remembered his name I'd acknowledge that person . Since I bought this it's save me a lot of headache .

    Slim, compact, doesn't clutter up desk/workspace, easily portable, if desired. Transfer rate more than adequate for my needs (using for system back up and file storage). I'm not highly knowledgeable about external hard drives but did research to help me make a selection. Seagate gets solid reviews; my experience has been in line with those of others I read about, and I'm pleased with the performance. Very good price for a solid product.

    I've been looking to buy a new external HDD for awhile now since my 5 year old one finally crashed. This new Seagate model is incredibly small and compares to the size of an iPhone 5s but a little wider. It comes with a bunch of features that I tend to not use but you might. My main purpose of owning an external HDD is to use it as a direct backup to me laptop and run a back up once a month to make sure everything is updated in case my laptop ever crashes. Great little external HDD, let's see how the test of time does with her.
