I have used many Seagate USB drives over the years and they usually work well. This one is no different. The nice thing about this drive is the 8Gb size. I use it for backup purposes and I like it.

I've always had excellent experiences with Seagate products. This my 3rd external Seagate drive. My 1st 2 are still going strong & I connect to them via eSATA. All of these drives I use for backing up my computer's hard drives. I got this 3rd drive because I needed additional storage as I outgrew the first 2. This new drive is great & the USB 3.0 port has a faster transfer speed then the eSATA drives I've been using.
