    I am very please with this external USB hard drive. I'm using it on my Windows 10 PC and it's working great. I like the fact that it doesn't require an external power source, it just plugs into the PC via the USB 3.0 cable.

    My wife recently got a new laptop and we wanted a relatively inexpensive solution for backing up our files. The Seagate was easy to set up and is small enough to be unobtrusive on the desk.

    This thing is idiot proof. It's as easy as clicking a button and it pulls all the files you'd want and more over. It took a few hours on my old desk top, but if you're not in a hurry, it's no big deal. Very happy with this purchase.

    I bought this hard drive for my younger brother who badly wanted a hard drive to store the pictures and video and he really likes it very much. Its easy, portable and ready to use. I have a western hard drive which is slightly heavier than this Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 1tb External Usb 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive.

    Use this with my Xbox One. Works great for game saves and keeping data for the Xbox. No speed or compatibility issues. Definitely better alternative to the Xbox branded drives that cost more.

    Data transfer to it is very fast (assuming a USB 3 port on the computer). The unit is very compact. We've not had it long enough to comment on reliability, but prior Seagate storage devices have been reliable.

    This back up is so cool. Is is very lightweight compact and can be carried in your shirt pocket. It does a great job of backing up any PC with a USB connection. I use it all the time to keep my systems backed up.

    Have been looking for a backup drive for my computer and saw this one. Very easy to set up. Just plug it in and start the backup. With the automatically scheduled backup you can even forget that it is there and working.
