    When Geek Squad recommended the Seagate backup drive I wasn't so sure at first, but find I can store so much more on it and free up some of the PC space.

    I'm a photographer and I needed an external hard drive to save my photos. This was easy to set up with my Mac, portable, and so far has been a good investment.

    I gave a 4 star rating for this product because locating the backup files is not as available as an older Seagate product. I also haven't figured out how to set the security element. Taking too much time to locate items that were readily available and self explanatory on the last Seagate backup external hard drive.

    Needed more external storage, this is working! Needed something better for backing up--does it immediately, software is friendly, much more than the last backup unit I had.

    Consider me a layman...I needed external back up for an aging laptop. This is relatively easy to set-up and use, though I feel like there are features/capabilities that I am missing out on because they aren't detailed for easy "layman" use.

    It's becomming more & more necessary to have larger storage of memory for gaming and this works well . I'm considering 2 TB next time. This came in handy the last time we had a storm and I had to back up and restore my systems to factory reset.

    Of course I won't know for certain unless I lose my information stored on the computer and find I have no back up. But I can say that it was very easy to install.
