    I had used a Seagate product before so it was an easy decision to buy another one. Very easy to use to back up my hard drive. Also it's very compact and easy to take with me as we travel. Recommend it!

    I have been using the drives for a couple of weeks now and I have not had any problems with the drive. I am using them to do multiple full backups for client machines. The drives are working like a champ.

    One of the best investments to come by. Make sure you get yourself one. I still have so much space on it after condensing files on my computer.

    I am happy to see that this device can function without an additional power source like older models, and it is pretty portable. Didn't take long to format, and now I use it to carry PDFs of textbooks.

    My old hard drive gave out and I needed to replace it. The old one was huge and loud and got really hot. I love how this one is so much smaller, quieter and does not take so much to keep running.
