    I have several Seagate HDs and they have all performed well. I just wanted an extra large one for videos. It did take a whole day to save about 3TBs of files onto it, using USB 2.0, but that is not the fault of the HD.

    Worked exactly as I needed it to. We were in a pickle at work and the server was crashing. Scored a great deal on the external and was able to back up the server before a complete crash. Crisis diverted!

    I went into the store to find a hard drive and walked out with this killer one! It was on sale, which was a bonus, but it's fast loading and tons of space. Definitely worth the buy if you are looking.

    Excellent Hard Drive with ample drive space and is also very fast. This is a USB 3.0 drive and includes a USB 3.0 cable. Would recommend for anyone that has run out of drive space or needs a 2nd drive for backups.

    These discs are dependable and sturdy. We buy a lot of them and have only had one fail. Seagate was able to recover the data and gave us a new drive under warranty - though they did charge for the data recovery. We find them to be more stable than other major brands like Toshiba and Western Digital

    This thing has s lot of space and helped me out in a pinch. I am in a Mac, and this thing does occasionally need to reconnect because it has an additional reader program that it comes with, but otherwise a nice find!
