    I purchased this drive the backup the Windows partition on my desktop computer. It truly is plug and play with very simple instructions onscreen. I'd been procrastinating with data backups. Seeing how easy it is made me realize I should've been using a drive like this all along. Good value and peace of mind.

    What I like about this product is the hard drive is portable. 1TB is a lot of storage and you can use with a MAC or PC. I have tons of music and photos which makes this product great to have.

    I purchased this product, my second Seagate pHD because of my satisfaction with the one I purchased (also at Best Buy), a year or so ago. I agree with product reviews that I checked on line -- this is an excellent product. Also very pleased with Best Buy staff on this purchase. Always courteous and heldpful.

    Got this drive to do 16 track recording of an annual music reunion. Didn't have the levels hot enough last year, (wasn't able to put the notebook running the software in a location I could reach, while playing keyboards). Will fix that this year. Should be able to record several more editions on this drive.

    With 1TB of space, and USB 3.0 speed, there are so many uses for this drive. The USB 3.0 works to get items onto or off of the drive FAST. The small size lets you take it anywhere (like in your coat pocket). Super fast and super small. Until they have a cheap 1TB flash drive, this is the best you can get!

    Bought this because my old drive was failing. BB Shipped it quite quickly and had it unboxed within a week of ordering it. Transfer rates are super fast, sleek design, and registers about 998GB, which is fair due to the conversion of the "rounded" measurement we have now-a-days (1024kb = 1mb, not 1000kb).

    So easy I could do it. Affordable and compact. Going to get another one to have a backup of my backup at the bank safe so I know I won't ever loose my precious family memories and important documents.

    I bought this external HD for my son for his use at the college, based on my experience of having a 2 tb of the same brand. They are very reliable, small size, fast enough for what I need, easy to connect-and-go. I am very satisfied after more than one year of using it.

    This is the perfect drive for your external MacBook air, MacBook, and MacBook Pro backups. Just attach and assign as your Time Machine drive and let the computer and the backup plus slim do all the work. Seamless and seemingly failure proof.

    I was looking for additional storage for my computer. This 1 TB External Hard Drive has proven perfect for my needs. I've copied all the files from one computer and still have plenty of room for even more files. Definitely worth the money.

    Great Little Portable Hard Drive

    I needed to get a portable hard drive to backup everything on my Macbook Pro. I didn't want to be in position of losing all of my important documents, pictures, bookmarks, and so much more, if anything were to suddenly happen to my laptop. My friend who works at Apple recommended this brand and another brand for an external hard drive and so when I went to Best Buy, I found this one. It was in the price point I wanted to buy and with 1TB, it would be more than enough storage for me. It was easy to install on my Macbook Pro and it does what it's supposed to - backs up my files! If you're looking for a great portable hard drive, I would recommend this one! It also is compatible for PC users as well.

    Bought this as extra backup for a bucket-list expedition to the Galapagos Islands, and it was worth every penny. Somehow, a lot of existing pics on the laptop hard drive disappeared (later recovered), but knowing that there was an extra set of the daily camera downloads was an extra security blanket.

    This is a great backup option particularly for those that want to save files in a separate place away from the computer location. Fits in pocket. It is a bit slippery, so some caution is suggested when moving. I do not have USB 3.0 on my current system, but I was able to transfer files fairly quickly.
