I purchased this item less than a month ago. Put all my pictures n important documents.. Now they are all gone no way to retrieve all my stuff. I called customer support at Seagate they offered to retrieve my info for $500. After less then a month get real? If you want to keep your info safe don't purchase this defective storage system.

It is slim and light weight. All was good. It worked great and then it wouldn't turn on and and wouldn't recognize any computer. I am so sorry we couldn't return it to BestBuy. It was past the 15 day return policy. SO I could send it back to the company but they would send me a refurbished one.

My only regret is I should have bought one with a power supply so transfer would go faster.

I've had drives like this before. Needed a bigger one for backups before is upgrade. Read reviews and recommendations for my then current operating system level. Bought this one. Plugged it in and no luck getting it to show up on my desktop. Odd buzzing noise, light was on. But it would not show up. Read mice type - it was for higher op system. Took it to work and told my IT guy I'd have to return it. He said he could format it to work for any mac, but tried it on higher systems on PCs and Macs we have, and it simply was not working at all, not showing up on any computer so he couldn't format it at all. He said it should not be buzzing like that. Returned for refund.
