Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Seagate Backup Plus Desktop for Mac as an easy-to-use and reliable external hard drive with ample storage. Positive feedback frequently highlights its compatibility with Mac computers, seamless Time Machine integration, and quiet operation. The affordable price point is also frequently praised. While some users note the need for a power source, this is generally outweighed by the drive's numerous benefits.

    I had a little over 200 GB to transfer and it took about 3 hours. I transferred from my 2009 Mac which has a 500 GB hard drive in it. I'm looking to upgrade my OS from Yosemite to El Capitan. I considered the Apple airport but the seagate was less expensive and got the job done! I also note the seagate had a lot of good reviews for it's performance.

    The product is ready to use out of the box. I backed up the following for my father-in-law: 1 iMac, 1 MacAir notebook and two phones before my wife and I went on vacation. Upon our return, my father-in-law thought he lost key data from all of his devices. Within a reasonable amount of time, all of his "priceless data" was restored.
