    I haven't had any trouble with this drive. If you need a large amount of hard drive space (I use these for iTunes libraries), this is a solid purchase.

    The 4 GB hard drives have been difficult to find at a price lower than $150. Great product. I prefer Seagate storage devices as they always seem to work right and I have never had a problem with them. Other manufacturers' hard drives have either went bad or the connections went out so I had to buy a new case. I have purchased over 30 hard drives.

    I used this on my Linksys 1900 AC Router. Performs well and faster than some of my old USB 3 HDs that are connected to my laptop.

    This external drive is perfect for file back up. I do not use any features such as automated back up so I cannot speak to this.

    This is an excellent device with "relatively" easy to use software. Attractive unit. Wish software could have been slightly easier to use (but I have used a lot worse!)

    This drive works wonderfully. It's pretty speedy with transfers, has software to automate the backup process if you are using it for system backups and you get an extra 200 Gigabytes of storage on Microsoft one drive if you buy one before the specially marked boxes are sold.
