    These external HD are lasting longer than the previous generation but they still do break down. Buy 2 but only use one and keep the other as your back up unplugged and in the box. Whenever you aren't using your main one then unplug that one and it will last longer. 3 yrs is the normal life of the HD but keep it baked up to a 2nd HD that way you don't have to use a cloud .

    This hard drive is primarily used for media storage on a Windows 10 machine. Data transfer rates appear to be consistent with advertised speeds. No issues to date with any aspects after a couple months of ownership

    I now have over 50 Seagate drives for intensive video archiving work. They all have preformed well. I use another manufactures hard drive as a secondary back up source. Have always counted on these drives and they do the job.

    Dissapointed that the Segate interface page would not properly install. The Geek Squad spet over 8 hrs trying to install the interface page,using Segat support as well. The failure to make the interface install and work is dissapointing, however backups are accomplished using Windows backup.

    I bought this item to back up my computer and especially my pictures and my Lightroom5 catalog. So far it is working great. It installed itself with my just inserting the CD and following directions. It seems to have plenty of space to handle what I have now and for a while in the future.

    Seagate continue to improve their line of backup drives and this one is no exception. Software makes it easy to back up what you want, when you want. And with additional drives you can even backup your backups. You can never be too safe when it comes to your digital life.

    I bought this mainly to act as a NAS drive on my ASUS RT-N66U router. It works perfectly for that. Quick response times, doesn't seem to lag when coming out of power save mode, and so far works great.
