It's fast, nicely built and small(a little thicker and wider than an iPhone#. It has tons of space and the backup utility#Seagate dashboard) is easy to use. Overall, an excellent buy.

Overpriced junk.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
First off, I purchased this to replace a five-year-old WD that only had 500 GB. Big mistake. The software needed for this to operate in a Windows OS simply doesn't work. I have had to delete it and reinstall it on a weekly basis to keep from getting error messages that it has shut down. And this is going back to when I purchased the thing six months ago.
Second, when I transferred data into this, I lost several years' worth of critical legal documents. Yes I was able to rescan them from hard copies--but I should not have had to if this thing had functioned properly.
Contacting Seagate's tech support was an exercise in futility as they never responded.
I have since replaced it with a new WD Passport and put the Seagate to the only useful purpose it really has--a target for a Sig Sauer.
The only reason this gets one star is because I had to give it something. Really, it deserves no stars.

Returned a similarly priced WD product because it didn't worked and picked this up which was super easy at Best Buy, great return policy!
Real easy set up. The one thing I missed is that when directions say to erase the drive, at least in my case, it meant that I had to go into disk utility and erase it MYSELF. Once I did that it was all set up and ready to go. Had one for years before this but the connectors are starting to fail so got a new one. The previous one I used for years on a PC and then switched to make with absolutely no problems. All around good things for Seagate.
