    Needed a backup product with a lot of memory (more than a flash drive) since we had radiographs stored on our laptop. This was easy to use and easily fulfilled our needs.

    I bought the drive to backup my work laptop whenever I'm traveling and on the go. It's quick and easy to use using Seagate's Dashboard. I haven't tried using the cloud or social media backup since this is primarily for business use. No issues to report after a month of use.

    Install the hard drive and the Dashboard leads you through a short process to specify files to backup, how often and at what time. Why did I wait so long to do this?

    Bought this for my daughter as her MacBook Pro was getting full and slowing down her speed so she offloaded her hard drive with this and can use it with any computer.

    Purchased for my PS4 Pro to have extra storage space. Looks great with my set up and also doesn't need an extra power cord. Just hook up with USB 3.0 and format!
