    This is a great little drive and doesn't disappoint. I've been using it for 9 months with no issues at all. This is the second Seagate I've bought - one for work backup and one for personal. I'm not usually one who cares about color but being able to have the color works better than any label to be able to tell the two apart.

    Saved me when my iMac was stolen.

    A few days ago our offices were broken into and my iMac was stolen. The thieves didn't have much time and simply ripped a couple computers off of our desks and ran. In the process my Backup Plus fell out of the back of my iMac, was stepped on (footprint left behind on it) and kicked down a hallway a few feet outside my door. When I was finally able to boot it up it whirred up without incident. My last TimeMachine backup was less than an hour before my computer was stolen and I restored my new machine from my drive today. It worked perfectly. Since it was designed to be mobile this drive can take a beating and that's really important when you need that added security.

    This is very light,portable and copies files at amazing speed at this price point. I was able to transfer 20 GB data in less than 5 min. Peak Transfer speed was around 110 Mbps. I mostly use it to store my pictures and it has bundled 200 GB overdrive cloud storage. Set up is easy and in no time i was transferring my files.

    You can never go wrong when buying a Seagate drive . The most dependable product at a resonable price. I run several Seagate hard drives without any issues for years. Some of the other bigger brands like WD doesn't even come close. Personally running several SEAGATE 2.5 and 3.5 in drives as well as a business series NAS System. Cannot go wrong.

    It's running now on my 2016 MacBook Pro, but no issues on the 2011 or 2007 models either. It also works fine on my Windows tablet and Linux servers. Plain old USB connectivity to USB 2 or 3. It isn't particularly fast, but it works well enough. I'm converting virtual machines on it now and I really don't care how long those processes run, because they're a background task while I do other work.
