    I like the small size and USB3 speed for this 2TB drive. I use it to backup and migrate my data between home and work.

    What's really remarkable about this product is the drive at its heart: the Spinpoint M9T 2TB, the world's first 2TB drive that can fit into a laptop drive bay. I originally bought my two because a vendor Best Buy price-matches was having a sale, and was at a price lower than what I expect the retail-box bare drives to go for when they hit shelves around 3rd Quarter. One I've stripped and installed into my laptop's second HDD slot (WARNING: this does void the warranty on the drive); the other is still as it came out of the box, working just as well as the WD Passport 2TB's alongside it but only taking half the space. This drive has officially become my new standard for external storage--while Seagate does offer a 4TB drive, it's basically two of these in a RAID array and I'm not a fan of RAID because of the "if one drive dies, all in the array are lost" factor. WILL be buying more of these!

    This drive has given no problems so far. It's so small and light, and holds more than my other slightly larger drives.

    My Xbox only had 500 gb of hard drive space and after the os only had about 370.. This sounds good until you realize that each game takes around 50 gb of space. I bought this portable hard drive to store all my games and apps from my Xbox and it works flawlessly! No problems at all and it was super easy to set up! If anyone is lookimg for a expansion this is the hard drive to get!

    This external hard drive was easy to set up on my laptop with WIndows 10. I configured it for daily backups and the unit has done this faithfully. A file folder had disappeared from my documents (I did not consciously act to delete it) and I was able to restore an important set of documents. I am very satisfied and have used Seagate hard drives to store photos also.

    I must be able to toggle files between PC and Mac, The Seagate portable hard drive allowed me to do so after reformatting to FAT. Device is small, light weight and easy to carry and use when traveling. it is ideal for my purposes, provided I take reasonable care,I.e. drop or physically abuse it.

    Seagate Hard Drive is a (Sea) Breeze

    While investigating options to upgrade and/or tighten up my home camera security solutions (D-Link wireless cameras), I was able to come across a D-Link footage recorder (the proper name for the device currently escapes me) and in order to save footage I needed an external drive to plug in. In a pinch, I scooped up this drive because Seagate has never let me down. Western Digital has always been a close second for me...but Seagate has never done me wrong.
