    This is a great external hard drive that is small easy to travel with and also worth its value. I recommend buying one if you are always on the go. The only bad thing is you have to format for what you will be using. An example would be that you can't import files from a MAC after you format it for PC and vice-versa. There is an option for both and I would suggest it to save the hassle.

    bought this to back up my work computer a couple of months ago. it works great so far, no noticeable flaws. easy to set up, easy to use, easy (and fast) to back up. i don't know how much of a deal it is in price comparison to similar devices, but i'm very pleased with this one.

    I have purchased many My Passport drives over the years. They have always been reliable. I took advantage of a good sale on this one, which I have attached to my D-Link DIR-868L router, using it as a file server No issues in months of use. It just performs great.

    I hate the quality of mp3 files and have captured most of my vast music collection in FLAC files. Even with albums taking up as much as 400mb, I find that i can store plenty of music on these external drives and I have yet to have a Seagate drive cause me any problems whatsoever. I have had cloud service go out of contact and sound terrible. I have also had ITunes replace valuable recordings with something that clearly was not a "match." So I don't feel that a drive that is a little more than half the size of a traditional cd case is much of an inconvenience - especially when weighed against having no real control over my valuable music collection! I am also a musician and I am far more comfortable backing up my masters, samples and DAW program data on something tangible and physically in my possession. This is my third drive and I am sure I'll buy plenty more as I archive more music and movies.

    This is definitely a must have for someone who likes to take photos or record videos. I don't have to worry about creaking my computer with the hundreds of files. Plus being a new photographer, I'm constantly taking photos, so storage was very important to me.

    The Seagate external hard drive is small in size and holds a surprisingly large amount of information that anyone would want to back up against loss. I bought it for my pictures so I wouldn't have to store them on my computer. I started downloading albums and thought I was filling the Seagate but when I checked it was only 3% filled. I have now saved my photos in case of any crash or problem with my computer and since it holds so much information I will be adding other files!
