    I got this as a gift for my mom...to stop her from buying thumb drives like they were the future currency of the world. So far, so good. She hasn;t had any problems

    This has become my go-to brand for portable hard drives due to the great balance between cost and quality. I haven't had any issues using it to back up my files.

    The Geek Squad installed this when they "fixed" my computer. Now all I have to do it put it in another one when this crashes permanently, so they say. Meh.

    I have had this for well over 5 years and it has held up as a great way to backup both of my Mac Books that I use for photography and design.

    I wanted to use this as extra storage for my laptop, but turns out this isn't what it does. It backs up your social media and things. But you can reformat it to do this so that's what I did and it's fine.

    I keep this permanently attached to my computer for making backups of all my data and picture files. You hardly notice it sitting on top of the tower. It's fast and convenient although it still doesn't touch a thumb drive for portability.

    Glad I bought to backup files especially when old PC crashed soon after. Was able to transfer files to new PC with no problem and use for continued backup.

    Old photos were starting to fade so got an Epson scanner and have placed at least a thousand or more photos on it and they are perfect.

    Hey, it's decent. Works fine, does what I bought it for and that was for extra drive space for my Xbox One that now allows the use of an external hard drive. Over the moon about it? Not really, but it's probably great for the laptop it was intended for...

    Excellent product! I was having response problems with an external hard drive from another manufacturer, so I purchased this one. Does a great job and is quick to respond.

    I had a Seagate back up drive before and it worked fine, but it stopped working when I got Windows 10. So I bought a new Seagate drive for my back up. I plugged it in and it didn't ask any questions ... it just started backing up EVERYTHING. It took more then 24 hours to complete. When complete I found a bunch of sub-directories and files with odd names ... nothing related to my file structure. I tried to contact Seagate service and was not given any real help. Just sent to a website that was no help. I think it is backing up my files ... but I am not sure ... and if it is can't find them to check. If you are a computer geek you might have better luck.

    We store thousands of gigabytes of images on hard drives. We tried all the major brands and Seagate seems to outperform them all. Love the compact design!

    Easy to set up, quick back ups, I like this device especially the terabyte of memory.The only thing is if I leave it plugged in, I keep getting a message that I need to format the disk to use. Do not do this! There is no reason to reformat the disc.

    The disk is tiny, comfortable for carrying, the USB-3 speed is great, it triplicated the speed of other USB-2 disk that I have. The USB3 cable is very short though.

    I'm not sure how in depth I can get on something like this. It looks nice, turned on, and appears to work. Had good reviews and I trust the people.

    Getting this item has helped me a lot. With over 4000 songs on my ipod with even more to come means I can get up to 10,000. Easy setup and going strong.
