External drive good, software useless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seagate's software does not seem to work with my laptop and Windows 10. The built-in Windows back-up facility works well, so don't l base your selection on Seagate's software. The hardware works well, although the real test will be long-term durability.

Just works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use this drive for backup and archiving purposes with my Windows 8.1 laptop. Does work just fine, even reasonably over USB 2.0 after the USB 3.0 port on my laptop had died...

high capacity, has separate power supply
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good external high capacity HDD, external power supply provided. Is not dependent on USB power only. Some external HDD require two USB ports to function properly. Something to watch out for if USB ports not enough on laptops, etc.

Great value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can never have too much storage. With 5tb to play with, this external provides plenty of space. The only criticism I have is drive speed. 5400... Wish it were faster....

High Capability for the Money

Nice External
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I go through a lot of storage, so I needed something that can hold up to that. This has worked great. The only reason for a 4 star is occasionally my computer doesn't recognize it (which could be the fault of the computer, not the drive)
