    I purchased this hard drive as a backup for my work videos. The 3.0 usb transferred my media quickly and effortlessly. Very user friendly.

    Had a few initial problems with it crashing but it updated itself and seems to be running perfectly now. Overall a good buy for the price in my opinion. ( I got it on sale with an extra 100 off though)

    Have been generally happy with Seagate products. The only thing I haven't liked about them (lately) is the built in backup software. Older versions seemed more intuitive and was easier to use. The current backup software is glitchy and unnecessarily difficult.

    My other hard drive crashed and I was able to have data copied to this new drive. I've had it for a few weeks and it works fine.

    This is my second portable hard drive. Lucky for me, the first drive failed in less than a week and I was able to exchange it at Best Buy. This one has worked well for over a month, so I am pleased.

    Can't complain. It's smaller than I expected. Quite compact. Just plug it in and go. No problems. Just wish the cord was longer.

    I use this to backup files from my laptop that has a small SSD. It works well. It's quiet and does not get warm. I've had similar drives fail from other brands and feel like this drive will last longer.

    Everything worked right out of the box, no need to install drivers. Plug and play ready to go. Fast write/read speed and the hard drive didn't get hot after use like my previous one. Great price and size is compact.
