    Title says it all, other USB 3.0 drives seem to be better at moving data back and forth to and from the drive, this one seems to max out at about 40-60MB Per Second. I was expecting 80-100MB Per second.

    I bought this product to use a backup for videos and pictures for a computer that I have that was almost out of space on the hard drive. It is a great little hard drive. Works great so far.

    I am sure it does the job fine, but for mac users I would definitely recommend making sure you buy a Mac pre-formatted Hard Drive. Though it is meant to be simple to reformat, it isn't always.

    Transfer speeds 70 mb/s, not too big, works well. Seagate backup software is slow, online media backup has too much junk and clutter. Seems like a kludge. Just use drive with your own software.
