    Very intuitive, easy set up, no issues at all. Had to replace an old one that met a tile floor from 4' up. Don't recommend that move for any piece of hardware!

    We bought this to do exactly what it is advertised for. We use it to backup photos, videos, and music from our laptop. The USB 3.0 speeds are fast enough to transfer data across at a decent pace and the portability is exactly what we needed.

    I use this to increase the storage on my Xbox one, which was only 500gb. Funny part is that this drive is faster than the hard drive on the Xbox itself.

    Couldn't ask for more convenient size for 1TB external backup use. Recommend the Insignia™ NS-PCCHDC5 case as it provides ample size for unit storage.

    The hard drive is great for back ups & storing photos. Very reliable. One side note: was not happy they have a specific cable for this hard drive. USB on one end and the other end can only be used with this HD. So, don't lose the cable.

    Awesome product to plugin as needed or keep plugged in continuously to backup computer or other devices with storage and USB port. Life saver with all the recent Windows updates that have caused numerous issues on all my windows operating system devices. The Seagate external hard drive is small and easy to store and just as easy to use.

    We bought this hdd when the one my fiancé owned went bad on her. She loves it and it's a lot smaller then her old one and it's fast. For what she needs it for, mostly to store documents and work on them, this product does the job.
