    I have this setup to do constant backup of my Win7 Pro 64 system. I see no impact on system performance as it runs in the background. This was a fantastic buy.

    Using it to backup my M.2 SSD drive that I'm using as my system drive. Both the drive and the Seagate software work as advertised. USB 3.0 connection is fast.

    Haven't really had a chance to dig into it deeper, but will come back and edit when I do. Seems to work well, fast and does what it's intended to do.

    Writes are a bit slow, reads are pretty quick. I use it as a backup disk that gets written to at night so I don't notice the slow downs.

    this worked well to back up a computer that had stopped working. The Geek squad stored all my information, and got me started again.

    Bought to use with my Xbox One X and am currently using it on the original Xbox One. Just plug it in and go to hard drives and format it and it may be easier than that I can't remember if the console prompted me to format it or not, takes seconds. I have one just like it I have been using for years on the old Xbox and another one on a computer and both seem to be going strong.

    Works like a charm as soon as plugged it. Automatically backs up pics from all phone, iPads, android tablets and multiple computers as long all of them are in same Wifi. Enough to last for couple of years.
