Customers are saying

Customers commend the Backup Plus Desktop 3TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Hard Drive for its ample storage space, ease of use, and reliable performance, particularly with Time Machine. Many appreciate its excellent value for the price and quiet operation. While some users mention the need for a separate power supply and occasional heat generation, these concerns are relatively minor compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback. The drive's compatibility with various USB versions and its suitability for backup purposes are also frequently highlighted.

    Good hardware, however the Seagate software would not work. Worked for a few days then quit working. Unable to reinstall and make work even with the upgraded software. Removed and now running backups with Acronis.

    I was looking for some backup storage and this brand/model was recommended by GEEK Squad because it lays flat, so there's no chance of knocking it over, and they said Seagate was a trusted brand. So far I'm pretty happy with it. Nothing exciting to mention really. It does what it does.

    This hard drive was recommended on a cord cutting web site as being compatible with the dvr I was thinking about purchasing. This paired with the dvr I purchased and the indoor, amplified HD antenna was the perfect choice for us.
