    I really like the compact size. As soon as I plugged it into the USB it's internal programming came right up. Very easy to configure and use. I mainly use it to store personal files instead of on my work computer but I think I'm going to use it a back up. The only thing I didn't like was that I had to register at Seagate before using.,

    This product was recommended by a friend and I have not had any problems with it to date. It is much smaller than I expected but that just makes it all the more easier to store or transport.

    I just started to use it, looking forward to backing up a zillion photos and video clips. Seems easy to use, so thus far I am happy with it.

    I bought this drive to replace another of its earlier siblings that suddenly gave up the ghost. I had no reservations about this purchase - at this price it seems foolish to try to fix a disk drive that's gone south. Seagate drives have been industry leaders for a long time, and I'm confident that this drive will be in my stable for a long time.

    This is my 3nd Seagate 2tb external USB hard drive! They are very reliable and easy to use. It's as easy as plug and play! Downloading your movies and files are a snap and fast, quicker than normal USB flash drives! Purchased thru Best Buy on sale at great price! Seagate is a reliable brand. Highly recommend!

    I love the sleek design, size of device and the storage capacity. I purchased a 2TB device for just my music and despite the large storage size, the device is still small and compact. Loved it so much, I purchased another for my scanned bills so I can get rid of paper and have more space in home office.

    Works like a charm and plenty of storage for backing up files - photos/vids/docs/etc. Haven't had any issues and good news is the multi-device compatibility. First external I've purchased, quite satisfied. Mac users should know it works with TIME MACHINE to backup everything on your Mac, which is highly recommended. Overall great product.

    The 2TB Seagate back up plus slim has a small footprint. However, it transfers files fast and the company has proven to make a reliable hard drive. The silver color adds a nice elegant look...not that it matters but it is something different if you're into such things. Plus it come ready to use on a PC so it's basically plug and play!

    I brought this compact drive with me on an overseas vacation to backup my pictures during my trip. Very small size to carry along, but has a large storage capacity. Worked flawlessly. I am not sure why they don't carry these drives in the stores any longer though. I had to order it on-line and had it within 5 days.
