    This is a great little hard drive. I love how you don't need a power source. It's not the fastest at transferring files but the large file space and tiny easy travel size makes this hard drive awesome

    This is an excellent drive if you need some extra storage. It's very sleek too! I do think Seagate can make it look better though. It ran faster after I had formatted it to NTFS format. It comes FAT32 stock,

    This is really what I was looking for. I needed enough space to move all of my pictures from my laptop and this did the trick. Very compact so you can take it anywhere. Great product at a good price.

    For the same price as some USB memory sticks, you can have far more storage space. This is lightweight and easily portable. I've used these drives for many years and never had any problems with them.

    I purchased this drive to add a couple more TB to my Xbox One. Just plugged it in and it recognized it right away. No issues and super easy. So, if you're looking for a good portable HDD, this is it.

    This is my 4th Seagate external hard drive. I am an amateur photographer and needed something to put my photos on with my new laptop. I had purchased a 1TB but actually prefer the 2TB for my photos.

    I've been working with a WD 500 GB hard drive for the longest time, and the thing that aches me was having to plug in a power supply along with the USB. The Seagate hard drive helped me get over that. Granted, I did have my WD since 2010, so it served its purpose. The Seagate works at a very comfortable speed in transferring data from my computer into the hard drive. I also use the hard drive for the purpose of storing my movies and playing them on my Samsung TV. It still works exceptionally well when playing movies and other forms of video. I would recommend this hard drive for anyone who is always on the move or not looking for something heavy duty that requires a power source.

    Looks cute and is very handy. I love how small and compact this drive is. I can take it anywhere. It's basically like a USB but bigger and with a lot more storage .Really great quality from Seagate. The product is very thin and looks beautiful. Stored all my memories like photo, videos, movies, songs and projects.

    Super slim model feels great in the hand. Can't complain re. capacity and speed. This is the third of this model that I've purchased, not because of issues, you just can't have enough backups! ;-)

    I just plugged it in and it was ready to go. Backed up important files off my hard drive in no time. A huge amount of storage at a good price. Will use this instead of zip drives for now on.

    Purchased to expand the hard drive space for my Xbox One. Works with no problems, satisfied with purchase. Chose the slim over the standard hard drive so I could use the USB to power the hard drive instead of needing a separate power source.

    Out of the box this is amazing, I would say if you are using this for back up storage the set up will be simple for anyone who can follow prompts, if you are wanting this to play media from a gaming console you will need a little extra knowledge and patience. I highly recommend Seagate over any brand for an exhd.
