    Purchased this for my Xbox one since I was running out of space. Good bang for the buck, plenty of room and cheaper then the "xbox" branded Seagate hd. I did some research with this vs the western digital and this beat it in most of the test

    I got this device to run backups on a number of computers. Plugged it in on each of them and it worked fine. Light weight. Has enough capacity to do a couple of 500GB computer systems.

    I needed a simple HD to backup my computer while I travel. Taking my Time Capsule with me was not yieldy. And it does the job very well, I had no setup, just hooked it up and Time Machine was working as if it had been there all the time :-)

    You can store a ton of data, music, movies, and pictures. Very small and portable, it's no larger then a cell phone. Can be used with 2.0 or 3.0 USB.

    The computer worked for about two weeks. Then we had to take it back. It took another week to fix which was frustrating being with out it. I use my computer for online teaching and it was a major inconvience. The geek staff is super. Very professional and explained the problem thoroughly. We had a virus.

    I have only used to back up one time since I bought it. I found that it was easy to use, however, not sure about it backing up all my documents and photos, or just the programs. I need to use it more and see what it is actually backing up.

    Perfect Backup for MacBook Pro Time Machine

    This is the third Seagate backup Hard Drive I've purchased for my laptops and each one has performed perfectly. I use one on my Windows based laptop and the other two for my backup Time Machine on MacBook Pros. Easy to set up and use. I had purchased a WD brand earlier but was so difficult to use that I had to quit using it. I highly recommend the Seagate Hard Drive for backing up the MacBook Pro.

    This was purchased to increase storage for an XBOX ONE. Took a few seconds to format the drive and start loading games. Has it's own power supply so it is plugged into a power strip along with an extra fan to cool the XBOX.

    Using this drive on our family Wii U. So far it's working well. My only complaint would be that I had to buy it in the first place. Wish the dang Wii U had a larger hard drive and wasn't limited to 2TB, as it was hard to pay the same price for a 2TB as I would have for a larger drive.

    I bought this to replace my WD Passport I had for years. Although I was disappointed that Apple Time Machine did not work with this drive as promised, I am sure Apple or Seagate will eventually release an update to correct. I had to manually move all of my documents and apps to the drive.
