    I needed this because I got the new MacBook Pro and only has 128 Gb. This works great and works with the Mac with no hassles. I believe this one is cheaper than the one that says "for mac" on box but it's the same thing. So get this one for less the price.

    So I originally began with a half a terabyte (of course) by Seagate and soon realized between school docs, pics (from my iPhone, iPad mini, etc), a few videos, movies, and music files to name a few --- that I was running out of space. I thought stop moving files around between my devices, all-in-one hp and MS Surface Pro 3 and just freaking upgrade your external. Best decision of several I've made. I absolutely adore my 2TB Seagate external portable drive. It's fast, compact and sleek. Seagate keeps getting better and better; price is awesome as well!

    This HDD was used to upgrade the original PS4 HD to a 2TB HD. Installation was easy. Removed the HD from the plastic casing which is simple. Works flawlessly and PS4 recognized it without error.

    This is a great hard drive to use as an external, but if you find yourself in need of a larger internal hard drive for your laptop for a decent price this is also it, as long as you have some experience removing an external hard drive from its enclosure.

    It's pretty standard stuff, I guess, but having 2TB in a small enclosure with no power brick is still amazing to me. I always use Seagates and have had no issue with backups in many years.

    I bought this external hard drive as a computer back up device. The initial set up is really easy and back up are automatically done once you have made an initial back up. Also, you get a reminder every 10 days to connect the device to update backup.

    I got this hard drive to put into my ps4 and it worked flawlessly. You could also replace the hdd from the ps4 and put it inside the case and reuse it after doing some work with it. This 2tb hdd is great especially with games being above 50 gbs.

    This external hard drive is great. I used it to extend the storage on my PS4 Pro and it has done tremendous so far. I would highly recommend this if you're looking for a portable hard drive. Seagate makes a great product

    I had a very nice external drive fail on me and so I had to replace it with a new one this thing is great! It connected to my MacBook Air nicely and is quick to pull up my stored files. Plus I love the thin lightweight look. Highly recommend.
