    One whole TB of a great external hard drive! It's portable and small enough to take wherever I need to backup my work. My tech- savvy son recommended this item and now he wants to get another one!

    Bought this external hard drive for work to backup estimating and construction document data. At one terabyte I don't think I will ever max it out but being very busy at work and having a lot of data to backup it still may take a while. it's very light to carry in a backpack and extremely easy to use.

    When I went looking for a hard drive to be compatible for my x-box the rep that helped me was knowledgeable to my needs for the hard drive and highly suggested Seagate. Is all that was expected.

    Great Deal Once You Get it Working Right

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was looking for an internal hard drive, but found this the best deal for the cost. Its sleek design made it a perfect 2nd choice because it takes almost no additional space. It worked almost perfectly upon plugging it in. It didn't get 5 stars because the registration and the free additional gigabyte storage on OneDrive promotion required several tries and help from tech support. I connected it to my network to create a 1 terabyte personal cloud and it works great! I like it so much that I am planning to buy another to increase our home network cloud storage. This is an excellent buy for the cost; once you get it working right.

    Excellent value for the amount of very portable storage, for the next one I may get the wireless or blue tooth version, but with a 3.9 USB this is very fast and clean backup and remote storage device

    This drive is reasonably priced, a great size both physically (small) and data size (large). It is also very fast with USB 3.0 and extremely convenient since it is powered by the USB connection.

    If portability is what you are looking for to provide extra data storage, this unit is it. Oh, and it also lets you back up content from social networks. Great little unit with plenty of storage.

    The best thing I can say is that this does exactly what it should do. I do not have any issues with this device, I use it as a backup for some fairly large video files, it stores them well.

    I was so happy to find an external hard drive that could switch back and forth from a PC to a Mac. It made switching from PC to Mac a much easier process and the device is SOOOOO easy to use.

    Running out of room on my internal backup HDD (500Gb) and needed another backup drive. This has been a great backup drive with lots of available space (1Tb). Priced right and worth it.

    The small size of the product and the amount of memory was the reason I purchased the 1st one. I found it easy to use. When I needed backup for other computers in the house, I bought 2 more. The only reason that I didn't give it 5stars was that I've never used it for recovery.
