    Extremely easy to use. Plugged it into a USB port, loaded the program, and backed up my computer. Secondly, I loaded a quick app on my phone and backed up all my pics and videos.

    I needed a hard drive to store all my info just in case something goes south with my computer. This has enough memory to store everything I will ever need for a decent price.

    I got this drive to fill the double role of providing an additional back up device and to use as a portable device to allow access of desktop data for our lap top and our other portable devices. The size and reviews are excellent, and reformatting was a snap. I would recommend this drive as a solid, medium sized portable drive for any purpose.

    This is a simple to use and very affordable backup option. I keep it on my desk and at the push of a button back up my entire laptop contents each week in a matter of minutes. I am happy with this product.

    Easy to install & use straight out of the box. The automatic backup system was a little intrusive, so I uninstalled the software & just manually back up my files periodically.

    Quick and easy to back up system. NO issues! The installation went exactly as instructions stated. Backing up took a bit because of the amount of data but I expected that.

    I use this for the files that won't fit on my ultrabook's SSD. It's easy to carry around with my ultrabook. Comparable speeds with the built-in HDD on my other laptop.

    I recommend using the Windows 10 back up system instead of the Seagate back up system. I figured if I lost everything on my computer I would have to reload Windows 10 and would not have to worry about reloading the Seagate back up system, too. I did two back ups the "image" back up on the Seagate and just copied all files from my hard drive to Seagate. The copy all files back up is just in case one file gets messed up and I don't want to reload every single file on the "image" which is what I think I would have to do. When I contacted Seagate before I purchased this product, they were very helpful.

    Was worth the money. Does pc and Apple, if I remember right. Wasn’t the cheapest thing in the world, but worth every penny when backing up your files.
