    This external backup is a great item to have and at a low price tag. I made a recovery disk and then backed up my entire computer with room to spare. Should have purchased one long ago.

    This drive is used to save family photos on an external drive from our family pc and it's perfect. I found it on sale and I use it every so often to add my pictures to it. If my PC should crash for any reason I can access everything directly on this baby.

    Purchased the 1TB HDD to backup an aging laptop running MS Vista. Seagate Dashboard software kept locking up without performing a successful backup. Contacted Seagate Customer Service and received a quick response within 48 hrs that identified settings that needed to be changed to remedy the issue.

    I had some trouble finding an external hard drive for windows 10 at first but once I came upon this hard drive all of those problems were solved. Holds a lot of memory and very simple to use.

    It would have been more helpful if it had clearer instructions on how to back up multiple times and to view that back up really occurred. It is good for a portable and compact back up system. The price is good and it is compatible with a PC.

    Easy to use for a beginner with good advanced set up options for the people that know how to do that. This is my second seagate, and I like this newer model. Lots of storage and I got it on sale, so big plus there. It's a bit slow but I have large picture files that might have something to do with it.
