    Frustrating to try to hunt through the Seagate web information to try to address configuration questions about back-up. In-box information lacking. Would prefer on-line or phone-based customer support.

    It was easy to backup on to this system with my MacBook Pro. Just plug it in the USB port and follow the instructions.

    It id the job. I'm not sure why but it came pre-loaded with some files on it caused problems with the computer. They may be factory files, not sure.

    It was reasonably priced and I got it for my Xbox. However during game play the harddrive disconnected once, making me question it's reliability.

    i read the reviews of other buyers of the same model of sewing machine before purchasing, after which i found that it was cheaper priced elsewhere. i might return it as I am yet to use it.

    Rapidly transfers my files for backup. I could not get the restore function to work properly when needed but since the drive had sufficient space for a conventional copy of my old records things went well.

    This hard drive has a great metal finish that feels very premium. The included software installs easily for Mac or Windows. So far I haven't had any issues, it performs very fast when used with a 3.0 port.
