    Purchased to store Lightroom library on a device that can be used on both my desktop and laptop computers. Other than having to reformat for OSX use, the drive has functioned without any additional user input. Drive writes and reads appear to be speedy and the drive appears to generate little heat. Would recommend this drive.

    Picked this up 2 of these-one to use as the intended portable hard drive, and one to use as a PS4 replacement hard drive to upgrade to 2tb...both uses of this hard drive are great! It is a perfect portable hard drive--small, fast , and sleek looking. As a PS4 upgrade, it is also about the best you can get at this price...

    Instead of saving everything to my computer I purchased this external hard drive to store things that I don't need everyday as well as back up to everything I NEED to use everyday. It works great and has a lot of storage space. It's also portable so I can take it with me when ever I need to. I would recommend this product.

    Bought this to replace the stock 500gb PS4 hard drive. Opened the enclosure, and swapped the drives. Easy as pie. Now I have 2tb in the PS4 and a 500gb external. No issues with either. Good price, too.

    I was in need of a backup support, because my pic crash and I lost information, so I research and seen this sea gate backup plus had a high ratings and I also compare others and this one was a good selection, it is portable compact convent for traveling, just missing a good case to protect it other than that it works so far.

    The size, portability, and price make this a must have item. This is a usb 3.0 device with a subcompact size hard drive inside. The only thing not clear about the product is the spin speed. Most HD's designed for notebooks only spin at 5400, so most likely this does too. However, it works well enough to handle all of your storage needs.

    I recently purchased two Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB external USB hard drives; one as a Christmas present and one for myself. I found the unit to be extremely easy to use and am using it to back up my photos, music and significant documents. Purchasing it on sale, it gives me peace of mind at a very reasonable price.

    Bought this hard drive to swap out with the 500gb one that came in the PS4. SUPER easy to do, and it works perfectly. Absolutely no complaints. As a bonus, I was able to put the 500gb drive into the Seagate case, so I have a 500gb external drive!

    I used this drive to augment my laptop storage capacity for storing digital media etc that I didn't want to fill up my internal drive. This unit is compact and holds close to 2TB of data. Also useful for transferring large amounts of files between systems or backing up data before restoring laptops to factory defaults.

    I am enjoying my external drive. I am using it to hold all my embroidery files. You never know when your computer will crash and I am using this as a backup. We have many storms in Florida and this is easier to grab than all my embroidery designs.

    Needed an external portable drive with lots of memory and this fit the bill for a great bargain. I've only used it so much since purchasing it a few months ago but it's a solid product with great design and simple to use. I may pick up another one in the near future to backup information on my desktop and laptop.

    I have used a Seagate external hard drive for my Macbook pro before buying this one. I didn't have much problems with it and I loved how slim it was. This external hard drive is also slim and nicely designed. It has 2 TB capacity so I have enough room to backup everything in my Macbook pro. I like it so far.

    This is my second experience with seagate My Passport External USB. And it meets exactly my expectations as I used it as an external hard drive to back up documents, photos, videos and music media. It doesn't make any noise or get hot. Besides,

    I was looking for a small hard drive (1tb) and when I saw this item with a storage capacity of 2tb for a price of less then $100 the decision to buy this item was quickly made. When I started using it it works well and fast and I put some 500 GB on it and will get another one when I do fill this one up.

    This drive can be put into a PS4. It does require to take apart but you now have 2TB drive to download and play games. Look in youtube on how to do this which requires other steps to install PS4 software. But I only bought this drive to upgrade my PS4. I have had it already a month and no issues so far.

    This product is nice and compact - not bulky in the least. Yet, it can store huge amounts of data. It's perfect for anyone who travels and needs a convenient device to either store or backup lots of data that would otherwise overwhelm their hard drive. it's also perfect for a frequent traveler who may have a collection of downloaded or digitized movies that they'd like to have convenient and easy access to - either while on a plane, train or simply in their hotel room. Actually - this device and it's capacity can easily handle both the largest of your work files and most -if not all of an average - or slightly larger than average - digital movie collection.

    This is my 3rd Seagate - Backup Plus 2TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard. I find them to be very reliable. I like the small size, and not needing to add powered USB port.. I copy all my digital movies to them. they stream great. I use them on all my media centers. highly recommend. Great Price for the size.
