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.

    Wish it was USB powered rather than external power - but outside of that, good hard drive thus far, especially for the price!

    Not compatable for back up with Windows7

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this to use as a backup with Windows 7. After several failed back up attempts, I looked around online. I found that the large Seagate hard drives, for some reason, won't back up a disc image with Windows 7. It will store pictures, music, video, and everything else without a problem. I ended up reformatting my original external hard drive for back up and just using the Seagate for general storage. I feel like I wasted my time and money buying this.

    It is a little slower on USB 2.0 than my old drive and a little louder too. I wish it had a standard cable. Nothing bad about it but nothing great either.
