    This hard drive was better than I expected! 2 TB for this price is a great deal especially how quick this one works and how incredible light and slim it is.

    Great storgage for large files

    I have purchased several of these units for video file storage. Files range from 1Gb to 10Gb typically. I can have over 300 files of these sizes on one drive. It is USB 3.0 capable for faster file copy but works well on USB 2.0 too. Used it on several Windows platforms (Win10/Win8.1/Win7/WinXP) and all windows versions recognize the drive quickly after being plugged in (no separate drivers required). Copying these larger Gigabyte files take 2-20 minutes depending on file size and USB version (3.0 vs 2.0). My experience with the drive has been quite reliable over the past couple of years. Playback of the video files directly from the drive occurs without pauses if used on computers with 'good' specifications (most computers bought within the last few years). In addition to video files, the large size of 2Tbytes is big enough for backup of multiple computers (doc files, pictures, programs, etc.). Some of these drives also have a OneDrive cloud storage offer (did not test). It is recommended that the user use proper dismount procedures when disconnecting the USB drive from the computer.

    Bought the two terabyte drive. It is super compact and easy to Cary in my laptop bag. It has so much space I could backup my desktop and laptop and still have tons of space.

    I used this drive to upgrade my PS4. It was a little difficult to pop the case open, but once I did it was easy to swap. You have to make sure you CAREFULLY remove the tape holding the USB converter board if you want to replace this with your old PS4 drive. I put my old PS4 drive back in the casing and it works great! This drive in my PS4 is fantastic, I would definitely recommend it and it's great value!

    I purchased this device to add space to my Xbox One. It was extremely easy to install and was basically plug n play. 2TB is more than enough space for what I desired.

    I bought this hard drive specifically so I could go between windows and mac and not have to format every time I do so. Hard drive works great and is pretty slim for 2 TB!

    Amazing how fast things are improving. This 2TB drive is over 10x smaller than the 1TB drive I brought less then 5 years ago. As simple to use as a flash drive.

    I take a lot of pictures and then copy them down to external drives for storage and use. I needed some additional space as I don't yet want to keep all my pics in the cloud. I wanted a reliable drive that would not crash. That is one of the reasons that I went with Seagate. This drive has met my needs. It is small fast and I also used it as a back up drive. I use it with my mac.
