    Bought this as a replacement drive, and it has far exceeded expectations. Transfer speeds are excellent and it runs very quietly. True USB 3.0 and cables included makes this an outstanding Value.

    I needed extra space for my 500gb Xbox one, 5 tb for $140 was a sweet deal compared to other similar models at $200 plus, formatted easily and runs my games faster, overly pleased with this product

    This drive has been the perfect solution for my requirements. So far I have transferred about 3 Tb of data to the drive without any errors. I don't use the backup feature on the drive so I cannot comment.on this feature. This is my fifth Seagate drive and I have never had any problem with any of them. I strongly recommend this drive.

    A lot of storage for the money ... this year ... lol of course at one time the 1.4 MB floppy was a big improvement over the double sided 8" floppy. It all changes. At one time I paid $ 1500 for another single sided floppy drive (189K cap) and $2000 to upgrade my RAM from 16K to max it out at 32K on my mini computer.
