    Drive works as advertised. Fairly quick transfer. Wish the drive had an on/off switch so I didn't have to control power by unplugging it.

    It's getting the job done successfully. Successful enough that our office now has eight of these. Do test the drives promptly, though. Had one that would not initialize, but was returned and replaced without problems. Otherwise, seems to work well.

    I was happy to purchase this Hard Drive because I have bought Seagate Hard Drives before and have only had 1 issue. I am glad to have this because I can store music and pics on this and this will work better than the Toshiba Hard Drive that I have.

    I got this when my NAS backup unit failed and I just connected it to my Seagate Personal Cloud via USB and use it to create daily backups of my NAS drie. It has been 3 months so far and I'm happy with the way it has done and how easy it was to setup!

    I do a lot of photo and video work with my EOS-1DmkII, my Olympus OMD-EM-5, my Leica M8, and my iPhone 6 and needed a lot of storage space for both my program catalogs, scratch, and backup storage. These have worked great. Nary a problem.

    This drive has performed flawlessly since the first moment I installed it. Transfer speeds are lightning fast. The price for the drive alone was great, but it was an even better deal once the extra 200GB of OneDrive storage was thrown into the mix.

    I've used Seagate hard drives for some time and have had no problems with them. I store a lot of video and regularly back up my laptop to them. I don't worry to much about failure but nothing is 100% perfect. Thankfully these Seagates work well!

    I do a lot of gaming and memory is always an issue. I have two of these and I have no complaints. They work great and are quick and quiet unlike my old one. Most hard drives are more expense. You get a lot more bang for your buck with Seagate.

    I am no techie and was a little intimidated at buying and using an external hard drive. It was super user friendly and easy to back up my entire office network.
