    I bought one of Seagate's other 2TB hard drives from Best Buy last year and was impressed with how fast it was. When this model went on sale during the holidays, I decided to purchase this one as well to be a back-up for my first. It performs even better than the first one! Worth every penny (even at full price).

    Very good product, I used to carry a heavy weight external hard drive, this portal drive is light weight and make my life easier to travel with it, data copy is fast. Copied mega folders/files concurrently, it has very good throughput and performance. Easy to start by simply plugin in Mac and kick off your copy process.

    have 2 one terabyte drives already, and the 2T is just as good. Amazing it is same actual size, about size of a smartphone, so very portable. Good product. I have over 700 movies on it so far- more to come.

    I purchased this drive to expand the storage capacity of my Xbox One. I plugged the drive into one of the rear ports on my Xbox, it was detected quickly. After re-formatting the drive I was able to move games from my internal HDD to this new external. The drive runs quietly and I have had no issues with it.

    Just wanted something for my photographs. I use this to back up my old images and load my new images to it . It is very fast even though I have USB 2, price point was fantastic and it gives me some peace of mind that if I ever had to get out of the house quickly I could grab it from the computer and take it with me.

    Used HDrive inside case to upgrade ps4 then used case to power old hard drive. So now i got a 2tb ps4 and a 500gb storage or back up drive. Plus cheaper this way rather than buying drive by itself.

    This is my second portable drive. After using Lacie portable drive I was looking for something that is of lesser price but same features and performance. Till date it has been working fine with no issues. Also please read several reviews and comparisons over Internet. All suggest that it is undoubtedly the best.

    I was looking for an external drive to back up computer files and I chose this one because of my past experiences with Seagate drives. I have problems with drives from other manufacturers in the past but I have not had a problem with Seagates and this drive was everything that I expected at a good price.

    I have been using this product to back up my photos while travelling. When attached to my Acer Ultrabook I can download a 32GB SD card in well under 10 minutes. So far this drive has been on three international photography trips and four domestic ones and has seen plenty of bumps and is still working beautifully.

    So much gets lost when reading reviews and trying to figure out which brand to buy, which reviews are done by sales people, who has an ax to gring (former employees) etc. The model does what it is supposed to. I have a safe backup for all of our music, photos and videos, and that was what I had wanted.

    We bought this to use as additional storage for our Dish Network DVR, which was constantly filling up. The Dish setup part of the installation was difficult and we ended up calling tech support. Once we made it to the external storage part, things were very easy. It has given us tons of extra space!

    This is my second purchase of a Seagate - Backup Plus 2TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive. I use the first one to back up my laptop at home, and carry this second one with critical backup files to have them available away from home. Both drives work flawlessly and I highly recommend them.

    Since I bought this product it has been great. I used this for my xbox one, and not only did it work great; it allowed me to have 2 TB worth of space now. I have been able to download all of my games and still have a lot of space left. Great product. Super easy to use. Plug in and your done. Thanks.

    Purchased for extra space for my wife's photos when she needed new laptop and we decided on model with an SSD significantly smaller than the HD in her previous machine. Shirt-pocket size makes highly portable with space for lots of files to be kept at hand even without an internet connection.

    I love these drives. They're a bit more expensive than their desktop counterpart, but the tiny size and portability definitely make up for that. Just plug and go! Lots of space too.
