    I've gone through a lot of USB portable drives; as of Winter 2016, this is the current model I've standardized on. Well priced, well built, and fast.

    Works without flaw for me, and is also generally faster with a bigger tb than the largest Time Capsule. Glad I gave it a try; would highly recommend!

    Bought this for my new Xbox One S to boost the storage and it's literally plug and play. Decently quiet and a bright LED light to show that it's on.

    My old external hard drive bit the dirt, so I got this as a replacement. I was able to backup all my media in a fraction of the time my old one took.

    I've been using the Seagate brand for years, without any issues, so when Best Buy had this on sale, I picked one up. Works great. Nice portable backup drive. Heats up a bit, but I don't leave it plugged in for very long, so I'm not concerned.

    I have several portable Seagate hard drives to back up data. When I run low on space, I get another. Seagate is my favorite brand for hard drives.
