    I bought this to use with a MacBook Pro for video editing. I love how small and portable the drive is, but the speed is just okay for video editing. It's fine for nearly everything else, but a thunderbolt drive would probably work better for video applications.

    I use this for additional storage attached to my desktop. So far, so good. It is attached and on all the time and has worked perfectly so far - for about 3 months.

    I bought 2, one for my friend and one for me. He downloaded the Seagate back-up program and I chose to use it more like a giant flashdrive. While my way does not have many fancy features, it works and I love it. I have never had any problems and would definitely recommend this to anyone. My friend, on the onther hand, keeps getting frustrated because the program is a tad slow and glitches every now and then. I think the item itself is awesome, the additional programming sucks.

    Upgraded the drive in my PS4. Worked like a charme. I just took the case off of this and put the actual drive into my PS4. Now I have a 2TB ps4.

    Works great out of the box for Time Machine backups without any need to reformat the disk. This is a great, inexpensive and reliable back up solution.
