    Needed an external HD to set up time machine on an old macbook when upgrading to a macbook air. This device worked fine, price point was appropriate for my needs, and the device did its job. Will remain attached to the new Air as its Backup.

    I've relied on this small drive to back up everything! All our family photos, documents, videos, computer restore points, digital media purchases, etc. It has worked flawlessly until last night when it decided to quit. After checking my purchase records I realized that the warranty expired a just a few months ago. Seagate charges $600 to recover the data on a failed drive. I would recommend either the extended warranty or the annual backup plan offered by Seagate (currently $10/yr).

    Great external hard drive for the Xbox one

    I bought this 1 terabyte external hard drive for my Xbox one because I was tired of deleting games and apps to make space for new games. This hard drive works like a charm. Plenty of space and I still have all the 500 gb available space on the Xbox one. This is beyond simple to set up. If you own an Xbox one and you need more space, then this is the external hard drive for you!

    It was on my part about having a sec to understand how to use one since this was my first time owning one. I am amazed at how much this little thing can store. And I love the portability of it. Also got one as a gift for a family member and she loves it.
