    This external drive was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to move all my digital copy movies to it and relieve my main hard drive. Has worked perfectly and was easy to set up with the Mac.

    I have used the Seagates as a permanent extra hard drive, as my Time Machine backup disc and as my portable HD. I currently own 4 of them. They have been very reliable so far.

    I have no issues with this drive, whatsoever. In fact, I loved it so much that I ended up getting another 5TB Seagate drive. I had always been a WD guy, but these connect quickly and feel sturdy.

    This serves the exact purpose it is intended to. I wanted an external hard drive to store pictures and videos and it works well. It's compact so it doesn't take up much space which is nice too.

    The title says it all. It's super portable, only requires a USB connection and has fast transfer speeds. The cable for it is USB A to SATA. Not the most interchangeable format, but it's fine.

    Basically an excellent portable hard drive for storage needs. I use it to store various media items on it because of capacity. Will most likely at some point purchase another one as well.

    Works perfectly for the seemingly never ending flow of new Xbox One games, backwards compatibly games, and 4-6 Xbox Live free games every month. Well over 500+ "instant access" console games in my personal library at this point. Not bad considering the PS4 was a disaster with only 1 or 2 games worth playing for over its first 3 years post launch (no need for external hard drive). Can't wait for Scorpio and true 4k!!! Will need several of these soon.

    Longtime Seagate user -- they provide a good product at a good price. I've got plenty of portables and desktop drives from them and I've always been happy with read/write and reliability.

    It works. Question: for how long? So... As long as it works, I should give it 5 stars. So reviewing hard drives is a problem. Basically one should only review hard drives when they failed. As long as it does not fail, I am happy. Just hope I will be happy for a long long time. The future will tell.

    Bought this for my 1TB Xbox One. Very easy to set up, runs smoothly. My one issue is that it slows my system down substantially, during the booting up process and loading screens - but for the massive amount of additional space and the price, I can stomach slightly longer load up screens.

    I already had a Seagate drive loved it and it's portability. My sister needed one for her Mac book air as it does not hold much space. Got this on sale and it was awesome. She loves it.
