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.

I've only had this a few weeks, but it seems to be an excellent unit. Silent, easy to use - just plug and play - and plenty of storage at 3 Terabytes. I needed a reliable external drive at a reasonable price. So far, this little Seagate unit fills the bill.

I already had one of these for my collection of 2 1/2 terabytes of Grateful Dead music, I wanted to copy the collection for home use as I keep the original one at work. I use a PC at work and a Mac Mini at home so I was worried there would be a problem or at least some issues using it back and forth between the 2 operating systems but it was seamless, just plugged it in and it worked.

I bought this for my Wii U. 3TB of space for my Wii U. Sounds insane, yes. But old tech (1TB / 2TB) is much more expensive. Picked this up on sale - love it. The fact that I need it for the Wii U - hate it. But hey - I use reuse it down the road when the Wii U phases out.

Great product for the money. Plenty of memory and was easy to set-up. I've had trouble with other company's external hard drives not lasting very long, so hopefully Seagate has it right.

I've been using this drive as an external hard drive for an Xbox One, and it's served me well. It's quiet, and the system reads and writes to it quickly.
