    I'm no techie, but I did manage to get a backup completed satisfactorily with minimal confusion or fuss. I got the light blue color because I need to be able to see it in the black laptop bag. And yes, the cord is very short, so don't go grabbing your laptop without the Seagate in hand.

    This drive does what it's supposed to do - give me someplace I can store a lot of data at a reasonable price and a reasonable speed with TimeMachine. Check. I'm taking off one star because it offers basically no visual feedback that it's doing anything. I didn't realize how much I'd miss that sense of "Oh, my drive is actually doing something" until it wasn't there.

    Perfect to clear out your phone and save all of your pictures! This storage device helps me to not pay for extra icloud!! I have thousands of photos saved on this and room for thousands more. I simply plug the device into my computer when I want to see my pictures!

    I know it's meant to be used as portable device, I use it with my desk top iMac and so far its working very well. It was easy to set up and my cat can't knock it over which caused my original hard drive to break.

    This is a nice external hard drive with 4GB capacity - with power supply and use on a table top. Everything worked and works flawlessly. It came with sets of cables for use with different USB tips. Very happy with this unit.
