    The Seagate - Backup Plus 2TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive is a very simple to use backup system. Sure beats using the thumb drives I've been using.

    So far so good. The hdd is to light with hard smoth finish. This may be a disadvantage because even with a slight movent to the very stif cable, the hdd slides over the desktop surface. In the other hand, this finish makes easy to take it out of some tights pockets.

    I bought this primarily for my PS4 as 500gb wasn't sufficient enough! Installation is easy and I'm able to install/run games from the drive no problem!

    Received hard drive, and was surprised how small it was. About the size of an iPhone. I haven't used it much, but when I have, everything worked perfectly.

    I originally bought this external hard drive for my computer, but after downloading games to my xbox one console I needed additional storage. So i used the external hard drive for my game console instead of my computer. It was a great investment at a decent price.
