    Easy to set up with the Seagate backup software. I use one for my main photo library, and a second to back up the first. Quiet and cool running.

    I had three 1TB drives and this replaced them all with plenty of room to spare. It is much faster and so far, very reliable. Highly recommended!

    Got this drive on sale for $135, which is remarkable for a 5TB drive in it's own enclosure. Plenty fast (both in use & benchmarked), quiet, and cool running. Only negatives are the light that indicates drive activity is on top of the enclosure instead of the front, making it hard to see, and there is no on/off switch. Overall a solid purchase.

    For large sizes like 5TB I only get Seagate external hard drives. They last the longest, have the fewest problems and never have file corruption.
