    This hard drive is a reasonably good deal for the price I paid. I already bought two others exactly like this model and would continue to buy this model if I should need another one in the future.

    Great product. I bought it to store important and non-important files, and to organize my laptop and tablet. The packaging is really nice. It's light and slim and can be carried anywhere you go.

    I had an older model seagate backup and I upgraded to this newer model. Really small and slim and doesn't take much space at all. I am so glad that I have this reliable backup.

    I bought this drive as an extension for my Xbox One. Set up was super simple, just plug and play. The formatting was automated and worked without a hitch. Size is also great.

    I wasn't in the market to buy this, but stumbled upon the sale! I bought it because the brand is great and I will always have a need for 2tb. It's a fast drive, portable, and plenty of space.

    This is a very sharp looking drive, amazingly compact for its capacity, and very light. Due to USB 3.0, it has very fast read/write speeds, and the whole drive is a winner.

    I purchased this external drive solely to use with my Xbox One. I was running out of internal drive space so I purchased this. When you initially plug in the drive, your Xbox One will ask you if you want to format the drive to save games/apps or media(music, movies, etc.). I transferred all my games and apps over from my internal drive to this Seagate. I've noticed that games and apps also download significantly faster. I've been using this drive for about a couple months now and it hasn't given me any issues.

    I had actually purchased this external hard drive as a birthday gift for my friend. He's a huge xbox gamer and he rapidly filled up his integrated hard drive. Simply plugged the connector into his xbox and switched over the hard drive. Quick, easy, and works great!

    This is my first portable external hard drive I bought to back up my personal Mac. it was simple to use and follow, and it backed up the entire laptop, pictures, etc within about an hour the first time. Now, I just plug in periodically and it backs up in minutes. User friendly and compact!
