    Used for manual backup for Windows 10 laptop. Light and quiet. Didn't use the built in software, but for manual backup of entire directory there were no issues.

    Product was plug and play ready. I have owned it for about a month and have had no issues to mention. At this point I feel comfortable recommending this product.

    Hard to review a device like this as it has no bells or whistle to really go by. It just loads files and save them. The only time you really notice is when things go wrong. So, it is doing what it is designed to do and is nice and compact while doing it. Time will tell...

    It's a great product, simple as that. It's easy to set up...I've used them before with MACs and PCs and they are flawless! Great quality, great amount of storage for video, photo, music, and other data/document files at a great price! I've bought multiple 500 Gigabyte, 2 and 3 TB drives from Seagate over the years and I can't say enough good things about such a simple device.

    Seagate makes some pretty good harddrives. I had a few thru the years, and they all worked pretty well. The Backup Plus Slim is SLIM and versatile. I thought about between WD Ultra and Seagate Plus Slim. The Slim looked better. With usb 3.0, I get around 93 mb/s to 130 mb/s.

    I bought the drive to photo storage, primarily on trips, not as a programmed backup instrument for my computer. At first, the software seemed not to understand.... So far, with limited use until less than a week ago, the drive has worked seamlessly and with any particular effort from me. It does everything I need it to do.

    I'm on the road a lot visiting customers and often need to present software modeling demos. The Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 2tb External Usb 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive is absolutely perfect for intensive demo software that you don't want to load on your computer due to the heavy processing requirements. This drive is thin and light which is great when you want to travel light.
