    This was purchased as a gift for my husband to replace his current external hard drive. Pros: small in size, nice and sleek, seems easy to use based on instructions Cons: had to install 2 times for it to download to laptop, tried to copy images from cell phone to drive and it never works, erased all the photos from my phone when I thought it backed up to the cloud, unclear on how to back up from gmail / cloud storage So far the only thing I have been able to back up to this thing is files and pictures from my laptop...anything else just gets lost in limbo.

    This thing is so small and packs a ton of space. This was perfect for what I needed it for (backing up a bunch of old photos). Can also use it with my new xbox one s which doesn't have that much space to begin with. Caught this on Black Friday and couldn't beat the price.

    Great External For Xbox One

    I primarily use this for saving digital titles on for my original 500 gb Xbox One. It's great to hold games you want to play later but not want to take up the limited internal space on the console. Having such a small form factor, it can easily be stored and carried.

    For such a slim hard drive, the weight of the drive is excellent. Sitting it on top of my Mac works excellently, and the speed of the USB 3.0 is incredibly fast. I find Seagate hard drives to be incredibly reliable, and thus far, the drive is proving to be as well.

    This is my 2nd Seagate 2gb external hard drive from Best Buy! I've found the prices are pretty good and when on sale, even better! Seagate's are easy to use and have had no problems! Just plug in USB and download! Very simple to use! Highly recommend!

    Worked like a charm with my Windows 10 work laptop. After a network outage killed half my data, I had to have a backup. Setup was Plug-n-play, access is fast and storage is capacious. Small form factor is a big plus too. Seems sturdy despite its diminutive size.

    Perfect Drive for photo backup

    I work as a photographer and travel the world photographing the wildlife. When traveling to Kenya, Tanzania, Canada, or Alaska I can't afford to not have 2 copies of each of my Raw files. It is impossible when on safari to cull photos taken in a day, so all photos takes are copied to 2 - 2 TB external hard drives from my Surface Pro. Weight and size are extremely important when traveling around the world with the new lighted carry on luggage weight requirements. and this drive fits the bill for me.
