    Nice little portable drive, good capacity for the price paid. Works great with Windows and Ubuntu so far. My first personal venture into HDD storage with Seagate. Always been a WD guy. No complaints.

    Excellent way to carry a couple of II-fone recharges anywhere. Only change I would suggest: why not have same cord for Seagate as used for powering I-Fone with electricity, so only one needed

    My computer tried to crash. Thanks to my awesome husband, he got it back up. I decided I didn't want to risk loosing all my pictures and documents if it fully crashed so he bought this hard drive for me and so far it works great. It's easy to use/access.

    Seagate is the product to go for if you need an external hard drive. This is my second hard drive for my MacBook and it is wonderful ! You just have to format it for Apple products.
