Customers recognize the Backup Plus 4TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive as offering substantial storage capacity at a great price point. They frequently praise its ease of setup and use, along with the fast transfer speeds enabled by the USB 3.0 connection. Positive feedback also highlights its quiet operation and compact size.

    I bought this as a secondary backup to my iMac. It was very simple to install and work along side my Mac. It is very quick using USB 3.0. I also loved the fact it was a Best Buy deal, very cheap.

    It is a good one with nice look and smooth work. Slightly noisy but acceptable. 4TB with the price, it is good deal.

    This is a solid backup hard drive with lots of capacity. The only thing that may be better is the portable ones.

    Excels as a backup device (it’s right there in the name). I use Macrium Reflect to back up Drive C every Monday (1 a.m.), Drive D every Tuesday (same time), and Drive E every Wednesday. Backups are scheduled and the throughput via USB 3.0 makes it quick and essentially invisible. Great drive.

    A lot of space for a good price. I did not like the Seagate backup software so simply cut and paste files.

    BestBuy took my online order processed it and arrived quicker than expected. As for the product it hooks up quickly and installs itself. Seems to be working, but its hard to tell what its doing as it just kind a sits there.... Makes ya wonder what its thinking?

    I bought this to use as a backup for my photography business. Everything transferred quickly and I only plug it in every few weeks to update. Works well as a data storage.

    good backup drive, USB 3.0

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a good backup drive and is USB 3.0 which makes it much faster when used on a USB 3.0 port on a PC, laptop or server (it is backward compatible to USB 2.0 also). The USB 3.0 cord that came with it is pretty short (I think it is about 3 feet), which is fine for a laptop, but it may not reach for a desktop or server. I had a longer one that i used instead to give me the length that I needed. This one has an external power supply that could be a plus or minus depending on your needs. I wanted this because I knew the USB 3.0 port that I was going to use was not powered and required external power. I did not use the included software, so I can't comment on that.
