    Super easy to set up, I'm not a techie and I was able to do it without a problem. I loved that it is compatible with Mac right out of the box. I did not have to format it like my previous one which was a pain to do. The directions are so simple, just follow the pictures and its 1, 2, 3. Also thanks to Best Buy for delivering it ahead of schedule. That was a pleasant surprise!

    This HP Envy printer seems to have all the features I need. However, it is slower than my previous HP printer....'All-In-One'. I have forgotten the previous model I had, but all my HP printers/scanners seem to last a long time and perform well.

    I purchased this HD for an external drive to my DISH DVR, and I was able to transfer files for long-term storage on this drive. The DVR was upgraded to a better unit, and this Seagate 2TB HD allowed me to retrieve programs I had transferred.

    The Hard Drive was easy to set up and use. Works fine with the Mac and has quite a bit of storage. A little slow backing up large files.

    Bought this on sale. Tested for bad sectors then ripped it apart. Many videos online how to do it. Pa4 working great. Took the 500gb and put it in this case and now I still have a probable HD. Will have to use disc management for Windows to clean the drive to plug and play with no extra drivers. Seagate does have a driver that will make it plug and play for win10. Great purchase huge upgrade for little cost

    So far, this external drive has served me well. It's (sometimes) a tad slow, but that is likely because it's on a network. But, all in all, it's been great. Giving it 4-stars, because it's a hard drive and . . . . nothing's perfect.

    This is the 4th seagate backup I have bought. I really like it. The ease of using this what attracted me in the first place. It is iMac ready to go. I like backing things up manually. I simply open the drive and select from my mac what I want backed up and drop it into the drive or whatever file I have open in the drive and voila', its saved and backed up.

    I have this same product on my old iMac so that Time Machine can back up to it. When I purchased my new computer I hooked it up to it and used Migration Assistant to put the info onto the new computer. It worked well, and first time. All icons on the screen were even in the same place. I would recommend this product for sure. It's peace of mind that your computer is backing up in the background every hour without you even knowing.
