    It's an external hard drive. It works and looks nice too. It is a good value for large storage needs. Mine's being used as a second Time Machine backup for my Mac. I store it in a locked desk at work so even if my house burns down I have all of my 17 years of photos, videos, etc.

    I bought this hard drive to use with my Xbox One. Plugged it in and it immediately formatted for the Xbox One. Very easy to use and is recognized by my Xbox as soon as I turn it on. I moved all my game information to it and still have LOADS of room. So happy with this hard drive!!

    I have used Seagate external hard drives for years and have always been happy! They last quite a while, they never have infant mortality issues (early hard drive death), and they are easy to use.

    Transferred 1.7 GB to it using USB 3.0. I think it took a few hours, I can't remember. Although I would rather have faster speeds than what this provides, it sure beats the ridiculously slow speeds of 2.0. I like that it is powered through the USB cord connected to computer. Good price, good size.
