    I needed extra storage for my digital photography and this met my need. Easy hookup and very fast using USB 3! It also has a small footprint - mine just sits on top of my computer tower. Highly recommended.

    It can be confusing if you are not computer savvy. I didn't give up and managed to figure it out. I feel better knowing my files are backed-up and I can take them with me if I like. I chose Seagate because it has a good reputation from other sources that I've researched.
