    Very pleased with this product. Seemlessly saves data from both pc's and macs without reformatting, which is perfect for a student like myself who uses both platforms daily.

    I bought one last year to store my personal files and bought another one to upgrade my ps4. No issues with neither. Hopefully they'll make a 3tb or bigger in this model soon.

    Perfect Fit for PS4

    Wanted to upgrade my PS4 to 2TB internal hard drive. Ready a lot about several "external" hard drives that you could simply remove the case and reinstall into the PS4. Worked PERECTLY. Now while I was removing it from the case, I took extra care to not mess up the case... so when I was done, I took the internal hard drive that was in the PS4 (500MB) and placed that into the case. So, now not only do I have a 2TB internal in the PS4, but I have a bonus 500MG external for whatever I want it for!

    Small, good looking, fast, and a good price($79). I'm a photographer and I loved to see how fast my pictures were going in as they where both raw and JPEG picture files.

    I've always bought this particular name brand. Never given me any trouble. The reason I continue to purchase is due to larger sizes. Great product would seriously recommend.

    This had drive has been great so far. It has a small form which is great for travel. Yet I'm amazed at how fast large files copy over. I've very pleased with my purchase.

    I needed an extra hard drive for my Mac computer and I got this for a great price on Black Friday . It is very small & slim for a 2tb. It was a little harder to use than my older Seagate but that could also be because it's my first time with a Mac. I learn more every time I use it.

    I had an older clunkier version of a 2 TB seagate portable drive. I like the sleekness and solidness of this one. I've had it for a year without issue.

    2TB in a Small Space? Yes Please!

    When you can get laptops with at least 1TB in them by default easily, backing up with a 1TB external drive isn't enough if you want to keep multiple copies of files. In the past moving to 2TB meant a powered drive (yuck, AC adaptor) but not anymore. This thing is a great drive, I am using mine as a Time Machine drive for a Mac. Just don't move it while it's on and you will get a lot of life out of it.

    I've seen many use this for what it's intended to be for (ex: pc/mac). I've gotten this for the sole purpose of upgrading my ps4's storage capacity. It's done just that.

    The quality and the data transfer speed are good. Honestly, I cannot say anything about the reliability of the hard disc, because its only been a month. So far so good.

    Great value for a backup drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this drive and partitioned it into 4 separate 500GB partitions so I can back up my 500GB iMac weekly (with Carbon Copy Cloner) so I have a bootable backup in addition to my Time Machine backup. This gives me the security of having an quick restoration if I ever get hit with one of the encrypted disk viruses. At $79, (less the 5% reward rebate!!!) it was a very cheap insurance policy.

    Nice external hard drive with 2 TB of memory. It is amazing how thin such large capacity drives are now for such little cost. Works faily well with our Apple computers. Has had some trouble shutting off, however, due to taking too much power via USB connection, but overall a good product.
