    Wish I had one of these before my computer crashed and I had to send it out to retrieve all my photos which cost $600. If I had purchased one of these before I would have done that with pictures, videos and documents. Pictures and videos were retrieved but not my videos. Learned my lesson.

    Installation was quick. My ancient laptop running Windows 7 recognized it and installed the drivers with no hassle. It comes with Seagate backup software pre-installed but I found Windows Backup to work better. The USB cable could be a little longer but it's not a deal breaker.

    Works as advertised. I bought this to back up my pc, pictures programs files and all. Works great. Easy to use. Plug it in when it's time to update my back up and move on. Best part is you can take it with you much easier than carrying your pc about. :-) The price was good and while you can find a cheaper price online, it's not that much cheaper and without the easy best buy return ability.

    Defective?

    I purchased this unit for my son just prior to his deployment. He told me that it broke during his 2nd week of use. I haven't had a chance to return it as he won't be back for awhile. We've had other Seagate drives and items that worked great for years, so we assume it is defective. However, the only bad reviews we found were the exact same issue. Next review will be about how accommodating they are with the return/repair.

    This is my fourth purchase of a SEAGATE USB Drive. I had need for additional backup video storage and my previous purchase have proven very dependable. (I was particularly impressed by the fact that one of my drives performed with out any fproblems after being dropped on a concrete floor.)

    This is a nice looking and nice working external hard drive. Good enough size for my backup I don't have a huge amount. Works as stated plug in and it powers up and is recognized by system. Transfer speed is fine for me and that is going to depend on your computer also. Great HD no problems.
