    I got the drive for a great price and the size is perfect. It comes with a backup program that works great with Windows 8. I've had the drive for about a month and I have not had any issues.

    I took the hard drive from the casing and put the drive in my ps4 as it was cheaper than any internal laptop hdd of that size. Then I put the old hdd in the casing, and after formatting it has served as an external hdd. No problems have been experienced on either end.

    I've never bought a Seagate product before so I didn't really know what to expect. It's a good price for the amount of storage space and Very easy to use and setup. Great for backing up all of my family photos and important documents. It hasn't let me down yet.

    I purchased this because I've been running out of space on my previous external and my computer was beginning to run out of space. Right out of the box, I plugged this drive into my computer (I use a Linux operating system) and it was recognized right away. I even played a movie directly off the drive and it seemed to run better than if I'd run it off the computer's internal drive. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

    Small, portable, does its job, not SSD

    One of my primary drives got a corrupt MFT.. presumably taking it out of one external bay and putting it in another. I was able to recover all the contents but needed a new drive to copy it onto.... Ran to BestBuy to find a fast drive to copy onto.. since they didn't have WD Black series drives or any great internal drives like this, I went the portable/external route and purchased this Seagate. The price was decent, and the "Geek Squad" guy seemed to think it was SSD. The drive worked perfectly (albeit USB 2 speeds since that box didn't have a USB3 port), but I was disappointed to realize it had a standard 5400 RPM drive inside instead of SSD.
