    I really like the Seagate brand in general, over the years I have come to find that they are really reliable and put out a quality product. I am happy to say that they have continued that trend with this item. We actually liked it so much that we ended up buying two more. The HD is very lightweight and easily portable, it can fit almost anywhere which makes is super easy to use in all situations. Just remember that you have to format it for either Mac or PC you can't have it for both so set it up on the OS you wan't to actually use it on.

    I bought this for my daughters laptop. It's very small and uses only a usb port. Lots of space available for such a small device. Very portable.

    I bought this external hard drive as a computer back up device. The initial set up is really easy and back up are automatically done once you have made an initial back up. Also, you get a reminder every 10 days to connect the device to update backup.

    Works right out of the box, MAC or PC. No need to configure it or format it. Just plug into USB and use. Sleek design and very reliable. Highly recommended.

    So I originally began with a half a terabyte (of course) by Seagate and soon realized between school docs, pics (from my iPhone, iPad mini, etc), a few videos, movies, and music files to name a few --- that I was running out of space. I thought stop moving files around between my devices, all-in-one hp and MS Surface Pro 3 and just freaking upgrade your external. Best decision of several I've made. I absolutely adore my 2TB Seagate external portable drive. It's fast, compact and sleek. Seagate keeps getting better and better; price is awesome as well!

    It's pretty standard stuff, I guess, but having 2TB in a small enclosure with no power brick is still amazing to me. I always use Seagates and have had no issue with backups in many years.

    I have to move word files and and data from my PC at work to my MAC at home. This is a fantastic tool for saving loads of information and working effortlessly between operating systems. The small size allows me to toss it into a purse or briefcase.

    I got this hard drive to put into my ps4 and it worked flawlessly. You could also replace the hdd from the ps4 and put it inside the case and reuse it after doing some work with it. This 2tb hdd is great especially with games being above 50 gbs.

    I had a very nice external drive fail on me and so I had to replace it with a new one this thing is great! It connected to my MacBook Air nicely and is quick to pull up my stored files. Plus I love the thin lightweight look. Highly recommend.

    Love this. Smaller, thinner, quieter than previous versions. I have 3 back up drives that I keep in different locations (in case something happens to one or two of them). This is my favorite one! I keep it with me to access any files I have stored.

    I use the Seagate backup drive in an audio component to which I have stored my CDs. Using the drive I can play back my music without tying up my computer. This Seagate has proved to be very reliable as have been my other Seagate products.

    I like the ports. the wire doesnt come loose if you move it around. All the other types of external storage like this I have come loose and that includes the mac my passport. I can also go back and forth from mac to windows. That is a big bonus.
