    I was excited reading reviews and was lucky to find one in the store. It is professional and I use it regularly and did find very useful for a day to day using.

    My mom's boyfriend use this hard drive to store his karaoke songs when he hosts events. The drive's large size and USB 3.0 capabilities suit his needs very well.

    If you need a router, and you have a gamer in the house, and you don't want to disrupt or lessen his "ping"... this is the router you need.

    It works great with my xbox one console. Wish it had given more details about rotational speed of platters. I even looked on seagates website. Anyway I haven't had any issues, plugged it in, the xbox formatted, and I then moved all my games to the 4TB drive.

    Small and portable. Easy hook up to xbox one. Like that it is small enough to hide. And the speed of loading times are faster than the internal hard drive.

    Box says "Mac Compatible", but it's not

    I have had really bad luck with a competing company whose initials are the same as a popular tv series on AMC about zombies, so I wanted to try a different brand. The box clearly states that it's Mac-Compatible, but when I plugged it in, my computer couldn't recognize it. It showed up in the Disk Manager Utility but not in Finder (Windows Explorer's smarter brother). Anyway, returned the drive to the store only to discover that in the shelf directly above it had the same drive but the title was "Seagate...For Mac". Exchanged it and it worked as soon as I plugged it in. Very happy with the version specifically factory-formatted for Mac, vice the one that states it's Mac-Compatible.

    Brought it home, Plugged it in, Installed fairly quickly. Set up Back Up Plan. Appears to be working fine. Won't actually know unless I have to do a restore.

    The product works well with my iMac as an external hard drive for my photos, however it does not work well with the automatic backup, which is my only reason for not giving it five stars. Also it wasn't plug and work for me...Wish it was.

    I like to manage my own backups without additional software and this hard drive allows you both options. It gives you an user friendly software too!

    My computer adviser recommended backing up my computer with an external drive and suggested this one. We are both very satisfied with this selection.

    We used this as a drive for our XBox One. It works great and is fast enough to keep up with the demands of the game. And the cost was acceptable.
