    This is a really well built external hard drive, seems solid and well finished. I don't really notice a difference on transfer speeds but it's ok for an external. The indicator light is a nice touch. surprisingly compact, much thinner then any other similar drive. Only negative I can think of is that the supplied cable is too short makes placement of the drive inconvenient and it's a proprietary one so you can't just use any USB cable. I didn't use the supplied backup software, I formatted the drive so can't comment on that.

    About the weight and size of the cell phone, but with 2 TB of storage. Best part, it does not require a power connection.

    Have been using my first drive (blue one) for a couple of years. Very happy with it. Had to move out of country, and had to leave my old drive with my bro. Got myself a new one (black this time) and it has been great.

    Once you get past 1 TB storage, then any amount past gets better for the price. This review is for the 2 TB, which was an extension for Xbox memory since slightly before I got a 5 TB for computer. If you were to get, I would suggest getting during a sale, such as Black Friday or Back to School. Both Seagate and Western Digital are comparable to me, and I use Microsoft products, so for your own perspective and unforceful choice, I would suggest going into a store and discuss with a rep.
