    This drive has a nice simple design and worked immediately with my Mac, with no complicated formatting procedures. Transfers are very quick with the USB 3 connection. Good value.

    Easy to set up and back up hard drive. Laptop hard drive is full so I wanted additional storage space = want to move files and photos off laptop onto this drive. This will back up your files, but as one single file, you can't select and view individual files or photos.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It is an excellent additional source of memory storage for any computer, espectially the MacBook Pro. Its greatest advantage is ia very small size thus making it very transportable.

    if you need some extra space to store music, movies, games, pictures and other media this is a great buy. You only need the usb cable to connect as the device is bus powered.

    This is a good external hard drive and the price was right. I was able to use it easily on my laptop. I had trouble on my desktop due to having a previous Seagate product on it.

    This harddrive was easy to set up and easy to read instructions. Has been backing up my personnel files every day with no problems. I did check it every day for the first week. Since then just once a week.

    Set up was very easy. Have transferred everything from my 750g with room to spare. Got it networked for wireless transfer. Have not done anything with the 'cloud' option yet.

    As bonus 200GB cloud storage and after 2 years you can't upload anymore, data will be read-only, that at least is better than deleted. Drive itself is ok and it appeared as USB attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device, which is different than most usb drives.

    i loved the idea of getting an external hard drive for a great price, however, i have connected it to my mac and it backs up everything EXCEPT for the stuff i want backed up like my files, it gives no instructions on how to do it. I have to find time to take it to geek squad. more hassle than its worth. i work 3 jobs so its hard to find time to go in and have them look at it. it did back up apps and things i don't need bc they are backed up thru my cloud.i would recommend it for a windows comp or a mac if you know how to reformat things so your important files back up.
