    I've been looking to buy a new external HDD for awhile now since my 5 year old one finally crashed. This new Seagate model is incredibly small and compares to the size of an iPhone 5s but a little wider. It comes with a bunch of features that I tend to not use but you might. My main purpose of owning an external HDD is to use it as a direct backup to me laptop and run a back up once a month to make sure everything is updated in case my laptop ever crashes. Great little external HDD, let's see how the test of time does with her.

    I still don't know how to use this. It's supposed to be "plug and play"--not!

    My Macbook hd is small (SD is fast, but low capacity), so I have all of my music on one of these. Works great with iTunes and works the same as if it were on my computer's drive. It automatically backs up on time machine. Everything is seamless and easy.

    This drive is working great and saves so much room on my hard-drive which I had filled with pictures and videos. Having moved them to this drive freed up quite a bit of space and now my laptop runs faster too!

    This drive has made me very happy. It has already proven my Western Digital to be far more reliable. I prefer the housing it is in as well, compared to the plastic the WD was in.
