Great Drive, Excellent Capacity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great drive for those that needs plenty of storage at a reasonable price. The performance and data transfer throughput are great. Takes minutes to transfer very large files or many files over a usb3 interface. Love this product. It will serve well for the data backups.

Best for Mac and the long haul
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third Seagate HD. My first two WD HD both bit the dust without warning after about 3 yrs. My first Seagate is over 5 yrs and no problem, and my second is now 3.5 yrs old. Bought this one to replace both of my first two Seagate HDs as a precaution. I never want to be in a position to lose data ever again. This one is much faster (data transfer) USB 3.0 than the previous two. Finally, for the Mac the Seagate seem to work so much better.

Must have Hard Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm always worried that my precious files will be deleted or lost, that's why I'm really picky when it comes to my external storage hd.. this particular one looks very nice, sturdy, lightweight and easy to use. User friendly plug and play type, easy drag and drop files and fast transfer rate ( must be USB 3.0 compatible hub ) if you have large files videos / pictures that you want to keep for a long time, this is the one.

So far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy installation. Instantly recognized by Windows 10. Software was OK, but I switched to Acronis for backups. Large size is more than enough to backup my main SSD drive and second internal storage drive. There is more than enough room to back up my laptop as well. Nice to have backups all in one place. This drive makes it easy. I haven't noticed any excessive or over heating issues. It just sits atop my case and does it's job.
