    It's definitely nice having 2 TB of storage, but it is interesting that it sometimes disconnects from my laptop when I'm playing a game over it. So I just fix that by copying my current game over and just using it as a very nice backup. I'm happy enough with it.

    I chose this to store all my photos, videos, etc. I chose the 2TB instead of 1 TB because the price want much higher. This will last me a long time!

    I bought this usb 3.0 backup drive to replace an older usb 2.0 drive that was getting a little old and slow. Really like the speed and smaller size of this drive. Should serve me well for many years.

    so i needed to pick up an external drive that wouldn't break the bank and would be good to go on light work travel. this little guy fit the bill perfectly. with 2TB on tap and an overall size the feels just like a smart-phone it slides into my messenger bag without a problem and had about 1.926/2 TB usable space which was pretty good for me. I'm a happy customer

    I was very surprised how slim and nice this harddrive is. Works great too and holds a lot of memory without needing a power source other thank the USB.

    2TB is really nice to have, especially this compact. Have old 120GB drive that is bigger. So far seems to be reasonably fast storing data/pictures.

    We chose to go with several external drives (2 2gb, and 1 1gb), because we use them for various reasons and in multiple locations. Not only can we back up everything, but we can play videos on our Blueray player as well! They work well for formatting to Dish's DVR so that we can have more than what the DVR player is capable of holding, which is great for recording our favorite series!

    It works great (now that I got the right one, lol)

    I ordered this online and (thought) I already knew what I was getting because I already had the 1TB Seagate and it works great. However, maybe it wasn't labeled or stated clearly enough that it wasn't compatible with a Mac, which is what I need. I thought that they all were, but found out otherwise. Luckily, Best Buy has a great exchange policy. As soon as I received my product and realized it wouldn't work, I immediately took it to the local store and exchanged it for the one I needed without any hassle at all. Now that I have the right one, it works great!
