    I have carried this in my work back pack for over a year and it works great. It is very dependable and I love how easy it is for me to use. I am not super tech savvy so something that is super easy for me is probably going to be for anyone else. It was easy to install the soft ware. I have organized all my pics and even cleaned up my computer. Storage space is just amazing. I finally stopped carrying all those tiny jump drives around and just use this!~!!

    I found this device to be easy to set up and to use. I like the fact that it automatically updates my data. It was a good value for the price. I would recommend this to people who are looking for some security in protecting their data.

    We purchased this to make a backup startup drive for our Mac. We partitioned it to also have plenty of storage for movies and photos. We found out we can plug it in directly to our smart TV and view those same movies and photos!

    Bought 2 of these for my Xbox Ones to add more memory, works great only thing is that I had to move all my games over manually. It's small, easy to use, comes with all you need. If you need more room on your XBox this is a must.

    My last external hard drive was HUGE in size with very little space and confusing to use. This Seagate was SIMPLE to use and has amazing storage capacity for the size. The icon on my desktop helps me remember to update. Yes, I love it!

    I use this daily for school and work. Never had a problem worth it. Fast, reliable, and tons of space. And the price can't be beat! Just make sure you format it for mac os if needed. Otherwise you're computer won't recognize it.

    Does exactly what I needed. Serve as an external HDD and is portable. Uses USB 3.0 for best results though it can use USB 2.0. However it is nowhere near bulky like previous TB drives I have purchased. Great product and well designed.

    I bought this because the second hard drive in my desktop was full and I needed backup space. The 2TB drive is both the largest memory and the smallest dimensionally I have ever owned, but it does the job quickly and quietly.

    bought this and easily popped it out of the case and put it in my PS4. Also put my 500GB PS4 hard drive back in the case and now have a 500GB external HD. Its a win-win!

    This is a nice external drive. It's pretty lightweight, small in size, and easy to fit into my camera bag when I need to take it with me. I use it to store photos on so they don't fill up my computer. It hooks to my surface pro with a USB cable and I can transfer my pictures easily between the two devices. I have already transferred several thousand 25.4 megapixel pictures onto this drive and it hasn't even dented the total capacity this thing can hold.

    Very compact for a drive of its capacity. Extremely easy to install. I like that the Seagate software is downloaded separately, instead of having a (probably outdated) version already taking up space on the drive. I haven't used their software yet, but I haven't felt the need to. I just plugged it in and it was ready to use within seconds. Unfortunately, my computer is only USB 2.0, so I don't enjoy the speed benefits of the 3.0 drive. Overall, this seems to be a great value for my basic backup needs.

    I liked the first one so much, I bought another one for a different machine. I would have given it 5 stars, but there are no instructions if this is your first rodeo. I set this one up to use with Mac's Time Machine. But I use the first one to save and share files between Mac and PC. That requires a different setup. I had to go online to find out how to do that.
