    The hard drives are easy to install and provide ample backup for all my documents, work products, photos and music in one convenient location. I bought two, I mirror image them once a week, and I keep the second one in my car in case of a fire in my house.

    This drive was used with an Xbox for additional storage. Available storage was 4.5 TB. As soon as it was hooked up to the Xbox, it was recognized immediately and I followed the simple prompts and was able to use it for storage in about 5 minutes.

    We upgraded from a 500 megabit Seagate hard drive because we ran out of space. This new drive has more than enough storage space for our needs.

    I researched several larger capacity external hard drives, and this one had one of the better prices. I have had several Seagate Hard Drives, and it can be hit or miss..some have crashed after a couple of years, some have been excellent. Since the design of this one is different than the ones I had issues with, I am hopeful it will last longer.
