It works.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great. I'm on a Mac so I do have to use Disk Utility to reformat the drive; and never think about it again except to use it.

Nice external hdd.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for what I use it for. (Back up for multiple users). I have the silver model and it's plastic exterior looks cheap. But it's a back up drive I've hidden it. And it's so quite you don't even know it's there.

It works EZ plug and Play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is not a lot to review with an external drive. It either works or it does not. This works, didn't require a second mortgage and hold all I need it too.

Great external HD for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice external hard drive for the money. I bought the 3TB for Mac, and am pleased - no issues. I don't mind that it has an external power supply - in fact I wonder if it might be better to not draw power from the computer. I'm sure that there are some high quality hard drives out there that cost a lot more, but I would, and will, continue to buy Seagate external hard drives to protect my data. I have a couple of WD units as well, and they also continue to give me good service.

Great video HD

Great hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up this external drive because it was on sale, actually the black one was on sale but I got the white one for the non sale price just to match the rest of my apple setup. This hard drive has performed very well since I've purchased it. The UI (user interface) is very user friendly and does much more than most OEM hard drive software. Overall the USB 3.0 speed is just shy of amazing...the only thing I could recommend is a external thunderbolt HD or a Solid State drive both of which I am planning on purchasing in the near future
