    As the space on my Apple MacBook Pro started to diminish, I found myself looking for back-up options. This little portable device sure does the trick! Didn't think I would need more than 2TB, and that seems to be enough...for now.

    This is the third 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim I have purchased this year. I use them to organize my personal videos, to backup my computers and to store all my work and files. I find that using a backup drive for storage and accessing them via shortcuts on my desktop spares me a lot of headaches from crashes and no loss of data at all. This 2TB drive is the perfect size to keep everything I need safely at my fingertips. They are also great for storing personal videos for streaming. I plan to buy 2 more.

    I utilize this drive for backups of my laptop and have one for doing backups of my desktops. They are fast and never get hot like some of the others that I have purchased. I have never had any issues with them not starting up and they are always at the ready to store my data. I like the thin-sleek design of the unit as well.

    Can't beat the price on this ultra portable hard drive. This is the 2nd I've owned, the first I purchased well over a year ago and have had no problems. I use these drives when I travel and they seem rather durable for the price.
