    This Seagate portable HD is very slim. Fits nicely with my not so large laptop bag. I had a difficult time using as a back up for my Mac though, I wanted to transfer my vids from my Canon camcorder SD card. But it couldn't be read by my Mac so I just used my PC instead. It was simple....

    I bought this to add space to my MacBook. I am able to store all my data files and not take up the flash storage. Fast access and still room to grow.

    I purchased this while I was in a pinch. I needed an external for backup photos and memory for my SSD laptop. This was affordable and I could use it for either Mac or PC. I recommend this to everyone.

    I wanted an affordable way to back up my valuable files and this has been an affordable investment. I feel more secure witha portable drive versus the problematic cloud systems that are out there.

    Perfect sized external hard drive for a college student or business associate needing to transfer or carry large files and/or programs. Also great for a back-up that can be placed in a drawer.

    This external drive is sleek, fast, quiet, and overall a great item. I use it for college and personal use on the daily. The price sometimes seems a bit steep, so you might want to wait for a sale.

    I love these Slims. As my second one, I'm really satisfied with them. I primarily switch both drives as bi weekly backups to my files, and they travel well if I need to work from the laptop.

    This is by the best bang for your buck. Not only is the transfer fast, the software you get gives you a free upgrade to pro. The encryption is a great feature as well and the thing works flawless!

    This external HD is great if you're looking for something small and portable with a ton of space. The set up and installation process if not hard, but it's not easy and I'd rather just have a HD that plugs in and begins working. Other than that, this is well worth the purchase.

    I have had several Seagate's over the years both at work and home. They have never failed me to date. The one this was intended to replace is still working after 7 years. Keep going strong!!!
