    I have 10 other external drives ranging from 250MB to 3TB. This is the perfect size for the price. It is designed to lay flat instead of standing on end. My other drives are divided half and half. One observation: When I started to use this drive, I used the power sources from some of my other drives because they were handy and all looked the same. But this new drive would not work. Then I used the power plug provided and no problems since. Go figure that there was a difference. Very happy with Seagate.

    Large 5TB storage capacity, quick USB 3.0 interface, and a sleek metal design. It's everything I expected. If you're looking for a large capacity and nice looking design this is the drive for you.

    my first one i had to send back because the plug would not stay in the back of the drive. but replacement is fine. rather a real pain to wait for it to show up just to find out you have got to send it back and wait for a replacement.

    Purchased to expand my storage for my Xbox One and it works great for that use. The only negative is that it uses a proprietary cable instead of a standard USB cable. Outside of that, I've been very happy with the device.

    Works great, but it's 4.5 TB, not 5.0 TB

    The drive is has over 5 trillion bytes, but that does not mean it is 5.0 "Terabytes" in size. Yes, it is semantics, but it is inaccurate. This is a 4.5 TB drive. It does work flawlessly on my Windows 7, 64-Bit PC, and I've had it for about a month. We'll see how well it works in a couple years from now.

    This was extremely easy to set up on our Mac Pro as a Time Machine backup drive. It's not fast, so I wouldn't use it for creative projects like video or audio editing, but it makes up for that in capacity for the price.

    I have used Seagate external drives before and this drive works just as I have expected to allow me to back up files. The transfer rate is excellent. I have used it for several weeks and have not had any issues.
