    I am not very happy with this purchase: the included software did not allow the creation of a hard drive image; I had to invest additional $39.95 for the proper software from Acronis, which by the way is sponsored by Seagate; what a rip off. Other than that, the drive was easy to install and it appears to backup data correctly. Once I installed the Acronis module, the hard drive image is being created as well. My previous Western Digital My Book ran out of capacity which is the reason I decided to go with the Seagate; bad choice.

    I think we are all now wary of keeping our information in the cloud' with all the hacking going on. So I purchased this external hard drive. The setup was so simple a monkey could do it. Goodbye cloud, hello Seagate!

    This is a great drive. Well built, USB 3.0 connectivity. I imagine I will be using this drive for a long time. I would recommend this to others and will probably purchase additional drives in the near future!

    I would like a little better explanation of exactly how to set up the Seagate and to coordinate it with the way I use my computer. I believe the Geek Squad did set it up according to my preferences, but I didn't get any of this in writing, which would be very helpful.
