    Great portable drive for everyday use

    Over the years I've purchased dozens of external drives, both portable and desktop, for various purposes. I've found the Seagate drives to be the most reliable of the lot available. I've had issues with other brands HDD controllers inside the portable enclosures, and have had to remove them from the case in order to recover the data. Not so with the Seagate drives. This drive is used everyday with my work laptop. My work laptop has a 128 GB SSD (mSATA), so I'm limited with storage space and it's too costly (and a hassle) to upgrade the internal mSATA SSD to anything useable. I don't use this drive to back up files - it is my primary document drive. I've encrypted the drive, and made the drive the location of my DropBox folder. I have a 2 TB Pro account with DropBox, and the entire HDD is backed up on the cloud. While I rely on having my files with me all the time, if the drive were to fail, or worse yet, I lost the drive, I still have access to my files and can restore them from the Cloud. I highly recommend this drive. The slim form factor makes it easy to travel with, and its read/write speed is perfect for everyday work. While I do store media files on this drive, and its fast enough for HD movie playout, this isn't intended to be a media server. There are many other products better suited for streaming movies to your AV devices.

    I needed something for both school and everyday. I must say, between all the pictures on both my laptops, and all the school work I have saved, I'm happy to know I still have plenty of space. It's also super portable, as it's about the same size of my wallet.

    If you have important files, pictures, documents stored on your PC, it is so necessary to keep them on an external hard drive, so you will never lose them...NEVER.... Found this out the hard way when my 4 yr old computer would not start, even after having a tech repair/programmer take a look at it. Was able to retrieve the hard drive, thank goodness, and get files uploaded to external hard drive. This Seagate back-up was so easy to use, plug it in and transfer. Just as easy to transfer to new computer. It's inexpensive and well worth it for peace of mind.
