    The Seagate 2T portable hard drive is very useful to store large files, which is important for me because I deal with very large data files.

    This is the second one of these I have purchased and have had no issues. I purchased the second one due to needing additional space, not due to any problems.

    This is a very good product. I backup about 4GBs weekly and it only takes about 3-4 minutes to back everything. Much better performance than USB 3.0 drives.

    Opened it up, switched it out with the PS4 hard drive, and now I have more space and a new external hd. Online tutorials can be found on Youtube. No complaints.

    I knew as soon as I plugged in the Seagate, I had my money's worth. It was easy to install and use, the sleek design makes it a product I'm willing to leave out on my desk, and the assurance of knowing I have a back up of all of my system, especially my family photos is wonderful. Buy this product if you want peace of mind.

    Son needed to expand his storage on Xbox One in order to play new games. I went on line to Best Buy searched and found what I would meet the need and the reviews helped especially from users of Xbox One. Went to our BB and it was even on sale. Very easy hook up process and son is happy since he can now play games. If you need more storage this will definitely do the job.
