    Been looking for HDD like this for a while and couldn't pass up the price compared to others out there. 2TB is excellent and will last storage for while!

    I've only been using the Seagate Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive for about a month but so far it is working well. I was able to reformat it easily for my Macbook Pro and start using it quickly. I needed this mainly for my movies, comics, and music because the 128 gb of space that came with the Pro just wasn't cutting it for me. I thought I purchased this at a good price at Best Buy but now I already see other retailers are selling the same for considerably less which I'm of course not so happy about. But the product itself is tiny, very portable, and seems to work well. All in all, I am happy with my purchase.

    It's everything that I expected. I like it. I was surprised how small it is. I have a fairly new 1T Seagate external drive that is larger than this one.

    I always trust Seagate products for reliability. I'm using this external drive as a local backup, in addition to cloud storage. The drive includes Seagate backup/restore software which was not as easy for me to use as my own product. But the drive works as expected.

    Formatted for Mac OSX very quickly. Consolidated files from smaller, older drives in a reasonable amount of time. Once again, Seagate products did me fine.

    This is a physically small drive and it works great. It only requires a connection to one USB port, which is good. Data transfer speed is acceptable.

    Great external hard drive for the price that was paid. Have 2 other Seagate external hard drives and they worked good also, just ran out of room on them.

    Purchased for PS4

    Purchased as a drive to drop in my PS4 (instructions found on sonys ps4 page for directions). After several reviews recommending this I decided to give it a go and at around $60 on Black Friday I couldn't refuse. I have around 35 games now as a GCU member (worth it) so I needed a bigger drive. The drive speed is the same as the one found in base Ps4 models so you are only gaining size (4x). Also note that this is the biggest drive for the ps4 currently.

    Being one who has limited technology experience, this product has been easy to use - without coaching from the helpful people of Best Buy. So far, I have been able to download several items onto this hard drive, without any snags or other tech related issues.

    This was a perfect purchase. The 2tb is more than enough to store files, pictures, and a lot more. Seagate is always trustworthy, has never let me down.

    With enough room to house hubby's pictures, this is a nice addition to the hard drive space on our new desktop. I am never disappointed with Seagate.
