    For 1TB, the price was great, especially since it was on sale and I got a free $10 gift card with it as well. Very happy with it.

    I am currently using this with my XBOX One as an external hard drive, and it works perfectly! Games today take up a large chunk of console memory, even with the hard copy due to the updates and download files. As such, a hard drive is a no brainer, and the Seagate provides a perfect balance of transportability and efficiency.

    This external drive was recommended by the Best Buy staffer when I was replacing my laptop. I am an amateur genealogist, so I have lots of scanned documents, photos and research materials that I need to keep and need to store safely. This has been a great addition to my laptop and has been easy for me to use. (I am not a tech savvy person).

    Other than the cloud, I wanted to be sure both text files and pictures we safe. This external storage was just what I needed. Simple, easy directions, automatic additions of material. Past performance with another Seagate was very successful. It just sat there off to the side and did its thing with regular backups. I recommend it for beginners on up.
