    I’m a big hoarder. So getting another hard drive is always good for me. This satisfies my need for “more” like I’m A trash compactor.

    Speedy portable backup solution

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I use this drive to perform a monthly 50GB data backup, supplemental to Windows backup that writes to a second hard drive on my computer. It is a "grab and go" backup in case of fire or other emergency, and a data recovery resource in case both the primary and secondary hard drives on the computer fail for some reason. The USB 3.0 interface is fast, and data transfer speeds are stable. USB 3.0 backup is painless compared to my former off-computer backup, which was a Seagate USB 2.0 external drive. I've used the drive for several months, and it has performed well to date.

    It takes a really long time to complete backups. I had to schedule one set of items for each day of the week. Can't seem to manage all in 1 night. May be because I have it connected via a USB 2.0. Not sure yet if I would recommend to a friend. I'll decide when I get a new computer and see how it works.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    You won't loose your pictures nor your music. Some stuff just can't be replaced once it's gone. With Seagate Backup Plus. You don't have to worry. It is easy to install.
