    Had over a year. Works great. Really glad it uses a standard cable. Have some WD drives that use a non standard one that I have lost. This is much better.

    Great little unit - no power cable, powered by USB hub. We use two of these for each powered 3-4TB drives. Double redundant backups of critical data are a MUST in our business.

    I purchased this item for a back-up option for my MacBook. The Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 4tb External Usb 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive is a great choice for external backup.

    I've had several different USB backup drives from many different manufactures. These Seagate drives are the best yet. No bloatware and good speed at a very reasonable price.

    My Seagate external drives are always reliable. I have had other brands fail, but not the Seagates. The 4TB on sale is a great value for the money. I use on both a PC and a Mac.

    I've always had a good experience with the Seagate products. I'm converting all my files to digital to save on space. Two shelves of paperwork now fit in the palm of my hand.

    Considered buying a Blu-Ray writer but found this instead. When you consider the cost of writable discs this is a far better deal. Who says size doesn't matter...it's huge!
