    I bought this hard drive to swap out with my old one on the PlayStation 4. It has more than enough space for me to install my games and everything.

    I currently use this to store data from an older hard drive, the older drive I have is also a Seagate 600gb, its probably 7 or 8 years old, this was an upgrade for that drive since I was running out of memory, I don't use it for anything other than storage space for photos and videos, so I can't speak to the backup or other functions, but it serves my purposes, nice small and lightweight, I still use the other as a backup device.

    I bought this mainly to keep important files and other things on this for safe keeping. I also use it for games and movies that I have downloaded so that I don't have to keep them on my desktop.

    In my opinion Seagate has been the premiere maker of portable external drives for years. This product is excellent - fast, reliable and flexible, can be easily used for either a Mac or a PC.

    I always buy Seagate over Western Digital and Seagate has not fail me yet. This USB drive being USB 3.0 made it even a better product and I can see a big difference in read/write file transfers. I would buy this drive or a higher capacity one in the future. For the price and the brand, this was a fair bargain.

    The Seagate Backup Plus has plenty of storage with 2TB and comes with it's own very easy to use Dashboard software for backing up individual files or your whole computer, you decide. It also has a continuous backup feature that is great because you never have to remember to backup as it does it for you automatically. Great product and less expensive than it's competitors.

    i bought this about a month ago mainly to save music and photos from my computer. it was a little pricey but figured in the long term with all the storage it has i wont have to buy another one any time soon. only used it once and had to read the directions a couple times to understand what i had to do. overall works ok.

    Great storage device. I had trouble installing initially. I went back to Best Buy for advice and was advised not to follow installation instructions. Just plug it in and click on it. Works great!
