    My Seagate external hard drive arrived and was minimal hassle install. No issues with Windows 10; I'm using it to back up work files from my All-In-One in my home office, not trusting a computer that most likely couldn't be fixed if something went wrong. I am also uploading reports and photos from my iPad when I'm in the field. Though, I'm using the cloud as my middle man. Plenty of storage for my use. I also went ahead with the Geek Squad extended warranty since it is storing my livelihood.

    I can only say one bad thing about this drive: the new connector for USB 3.0 is a bit troublesome, as it doesn't hold as firmly as the micro USB port. That makes it hard to move without unmounting first (on a MacBook), because a slight jolt causes the port to read the drive as ejected. Other than that, speed is great, and drive is very responsive. I recommend.

    bought this for my daughter so she can have a backup of her college material, and other important stuff. Seems to work good for her but was disappointed when a best buy worker told me later that they are only good for about 6 years and then could fail because they have moving parts inside. Otherwise may have bought a much cheaper USB drive. Time will tell.
