    Very compact and light weight you will not even know you are carrying it. Very fast data transfer with the USB 3.0 and with 2TB you will have all the storage for your files that you need.

    This external drive by seagate is actually a Samsung drive that is the slimmest drive out in this capacity. it's a little slow at 5200 rpm but it's ok for the storage capacity.

    Excellent product and excellent customer service. One of the reasons I shop at best buy is for the excellent products offered. However, excellent products mean nothing to me without also receiving excellent customer service. At Best Buy I receive both. I always get what I'm looking for.

    I shoot a lot of photos in RAW format on a 36mp sensor, so even after culling a shoots worth of images, the files still take up a lot of space. Pair that up with exported versions of each photo, and I run out quick. I trust the brand and the price was right. So far no issues at all.
