    Bought two of these. One is still working fine, the other became corrupted. Was able to re-format and use again. Luckily I had the data backed up on another drive.

    Had the drive for less than a year, so far it works as expected. It appears to be well made and will be a good backup drive.

    I purchased this drive to back up my collection of 19,000 plus photographs. The information I read prior to purchase indicated that it was appropriate for use with the MacBook line of products. Unfortunately, you need to use the supplied "Paragon" NTFS driver with the unit in order to be completely compatible with the Mac OS. If you attempt to re-format the drive using Mac OS Extended formatting, you will quickly develop fragmentation errors and read write issues. I am not a fan of using DOS style formatting, so this drive has been set aside until I can decide where it will fit best.

    This is a solid unit that is whisper quiet. Not needing a secondary power cord is excellent. Transfer rate over USB 3.0 is good.

    Bought this for my xbox one because I ran out of space. Set up was quick and it runs fast and I've had no problems with it.

    It's ok! I have been buying external hard drives for years. This is my 5th 4tb I've purchased. I am not as happy with them since apple did their update last year. You have to download Seagate's paragon program, they disconnect easily and if im downloading I have to start over. The connection port is not as good as their older ones. I always buy 2 at a time so if one fails I have the other. I had to replace one I purchased in January because the connection keeps disconnecting. I still purchased another because theirs not much to choose from.

    If you have an Xbox One, I recommend this hard drive as an expansion for more memory. Very quiet, but it is bulky.

    It takes a second for the computer to recognize it, but once it does it is lighting fast, even transferring large files.
