    I got the last portable 5TB on the website and am I happy about that...holds alot of entertainment content (as well as music) . It reads the stuff on it very fast as well so you don't see the "spinning wheel" of death for long while you wait for things to load...very portable as well just the USB cable and you're good to go (no brick to plug in).

    I purchased this external hard drive (USB powered) as a replacement for an external hard drive (AC adapter required). This purchase provides me with greater mobility for backing up my computer and laptop. I felt it was a great buy for the money!

    We really like Seagate drives. We have never had any problems with any we’ve bought. I use them to back up our many gigs of pictures we take.
