    The Seagate drive is great, easy to set up, and reliable. Just like my other Five Seagate backups.

    Has a great deal of storage and files transfer fast but it takes a few seconds to spin up. Aside from slow start up, it works well and has given me no issues.

    This Drive is one of 3 I own just like this one. Overall Seagate is my favorite for removable media. The Drives are solid, quite and most of all reliable.

    I purchased this drive in August to back up my MacBookPro running OS Yosemite. I partitioned the drive with 2 partitions, one for automatic TimeMachine backups, the other partition to archive photos and other materials. Four months and working fine. For some reason, at times the backup will be slow, others are fast -- not sure why the difference in speed with some backups being slower. Other than that oddity all is well.

    Just your basic hard drive. 5TB of storage for the cost of the item made this a solid purchase.
