    I like Seagate color options to quickly identify device topics contained. I hope these are long term reliable but have only started purchasing various colors. I have recommended because of brand name and slim size to those looking for backups. Best Buy sells the cases that hold 2 of these slim devices and cords.

    Already owned another Seagate 1tb external drive and it was time to move my thousands of photos off the main hard drive to an external. This unit has worked perfectly. No issues at all.

    This drive proved to be truly plug and play. Launched the control panel and with a few mouse clicks my initial backup was started. Easy updates to backup file daily. Extremely satisfied.

    This hard drive does exactly what it says. I have not had any issues with the transfer speed or with corrupt files. Perfect for on the go with the edition of a slim hard drive case. The cable that was included was kinked slightly when I opened the box, but I do not think that this will pose any threats.

    I use this device on a Channel Master DVR to hold recordings. Works well and all I had to do was plug it in. The Channel Master DVR and the external drive paired and works seamlessly.

    I used to use the WD hard drives but both failed to work and I lost a LOT of files. I have had no problems with this product or my last one from Seagate. I would recommend it to anyone.
