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.

    This solved my backup needs. It runs everyday at noon and I have the comfort of knowing that if a file is lost, I have access to another copy.

    The storage capacity meets my needs for back-up of our main home desktop. I'm not using for continuous back-up, more on a weekly basis.

    Just plug it in and it does all the work. I like knowing the I'm not relying on some cloud, that can be hacked to back up all my information.

    Have had this product for about four months now and have had no issues with it. It is a bit bulky and not really meant for travel as it is boxy and requires power.

    3TB for around $100 is a pretty good deal. Drive mounted and formatted quickly. The USB 3.0 speeds are plenty fast for backups, which is what I'm using it for.

    Had to replace my Lacie backup, which failed after a short time. Not sure I am happy that Seagate bought out Lacie, but am hopeful this one will last.
