    I purchased this as a back up for my work computer and haven't been disappointed in it. It runs and holds all of my data as advertised. Seagate is a wonderful name brand with a good reputation and I love their products. I would absolutely recommend this to college students & business professionals.

    I found that this 1 TB External Drive was a great way to backup each day's shooting with my digital video camera while covering a "once in a lifetime" event over several days in the field. It provided "peace of mind" knowing that I had someplace to backup and store my work each day!

    Need more options to use this as stand alone back up instead of scheduled back ups. Dashboard doesn't give you many optoins

    I bought this 1 GB back up drive for a friend--i don't know how they review it yet. Based on my history, i generally choose WD, but this drive came at the recommendation of a professor who teaches movie making, so i'm confident that it is reliable. And, it was on sale! I like that it is 2.0/3.0 since my friend has old equipment.

    I use this hard drive regularly at an IT Help Desk, having it partitioned into 2 halves, one for PC, one for Mac. I am constantly writing to both, and deleting files/folders as I do file backups before performing computer repairs for clients. This is a durable, fast, great-value product. Get one.
