    I bought this as a present for my son who makes a lot of videos for his YouTube channel. They eat up space on his laptop so this is a welcome addition and should hold many more videos.

    I am using my Seagate 2 TB Portable hard drive to back up all of my music. It is easy to use no problems. I can also us it on my lap tops without filling the main hard drive with mp3's.

    This is a great, reliable backup drive. I find they last significantly longer if you raise it using something like two pencils to increase the airflow around it.
