    I've been using Seagate products for over 25 years and can vouch for an outstanding product as well as a company that cares about their brand. Their QC (quality control) is 2nd to none. You will not regret this purchase.

    The unit was easy to setup and use and I like it. However it does not work with all my computers. It needs two powers USB ports to function and my MS Surface Pro 3 has one. Other than that it's great for all my other computers. JJRYAN

    I have 3 of these drives. I use them for video and photo work as well as general backups. While not SSD speeds I can get 170-180 MB/s on large files.

    A bit larger than most portable USB 3.0 drives, but given the capacity to be expected. Great performance!

    This is a very good external HD to use as: - Archiving external HD - XBOX But not for your primary external HD because it's a bit slow, get SSD for daily use.

    I purchased this to store the media for my Plex Media Server. For a reason I could not diagnose, Plex would often report the file as present but "Unavailable". The same files on my WD and LaCie drives never experienced the problem. Since upgrading to a WD My Passport 4TB drive, I haven't noticed any functional drop off due to the drop in theoretical transfer speeds. I've also always been partisan to WD drives, so my bias may have also had a role to play in my lack of patience for sticking with the Seagate drive and better diagnosing the issue. Overall, I would go with the WD My Passport. Sleeker, better form factor, and I have not noticed any performance drop off.
