    The hard drive is really light, especially when compare to the previous model from Seagate I owned. The speed is also good. I can backup my computer and watch HD movie at the same time.

    Seagate is a very reliable brand. This is my third Seagate hard drive. I've had the other two running strong for about three years now.

    I'm using it to back up my server. I have 2 of them, and I use the Acronis backup software. I switch them each day, 1 is off site, and the other is being used for that day's backup.

    Easy to use. I just wish I would have been told it had to be used on a Mac first in order to be used on both Mac and pc. I used it on a PC first and apparently it will need to be reformatted to be interchangeable.

    I have purchased more than one of these for various reasons. I love the actual size as they are easy to store or carry anywhere. The cost is reasonable and frees up computer space.

    Setup was fairly self-explanatory, and after I stored all my data, I still had five times more space left over. All parts work properly; everything seems to be built firmly as well.

    This is my back up drive for a desktop computer, b/c when I travel, I can take it with me to have everything I need at hand. Easier than having to remember so many different passwords.

    I travel often for work and the slim frame of this hard drive lends itself to work on the go. So far it's working well. I can't say I'd give it an 'excellent' rating based on the fact that it just does one thing, backs up my computer. Otherwise, good product for a great price.

    This the cheapest drive available for 1TB. It works perfect, looks sleek and nice. The perfect solution for extra space and to back up all your important files for that "Just in case your computer crashes," moment.

    I needed a new hard drive since my old one was 320 gb, and up recently upgraded to USB 3.0. There isn't much special about it. It works great, does the job, what else do you want.

    A Quality Drive For Shipping Files

    This is a nice compact 1Tb hard drive that appears to be very rugged. It's capacity and small size make it quite useful for transferring large video files with a minimal shipping charge. The NTFS format accepts larger files (more than the 4Mb of FAT32), and can be read by Macs (and written to with 3rd party software such as Tuxera). Or, the drive can be reformatted in HFS+ format for use with Macs. This is now my drive of choice for portability.
