    The hard drive is very light weight and that's what I was looking for. More space and light weight. I have another seagate hard drive for 1 TB but that's very heavy, This one is better.

    Having returned the cloud backup drive by Seagate, reluctantly purchased this drive. Setup was easy and in moments was filling the 2000 gig drive with thousands of photos (artist reference files) in a matter of moments. So much more room left to store documents, and even two laptop hard drives. The speed of data transfer Is impressive and reliable. Looking For a slim, powerful, fast backup storage drive? Have to recommend this....

    Works great, you can open the case and stick the HD in a PS4. Then stick the old 500gb from the ps4 back into the external case. USB 3.0 connection is a lot faster than the USB 2.0.

    I had looked at purchasing the drive earlier, but decided to wait until after the holidays. When we went out to look for TV buys, we saw it. I bought 2 and my friend bought another.

    Expands Xbox One storage fast

    Having a 500 GB version of the Xbox One after downloading some large games, that drive filled up. So in researching external drives, I read some great things about this Seagate and they were all spot on. The installation was easy, read/write times are fast thanks to USB 3.0 and there is nothing better than seeing your used space go from 90% down to only 10%. Highly recommended if you want to expand your storage fast.

    While I do see the benefits of putting some of my files in the cloud, I have plenty more I would prefer to keep on hand locally and yet also want to be able to take with me. Thumb drives are great and handy but i was starting to accumulate quite a few of them and wanted to consolidate everything onto a larger drive. Now I've got all the backups I need to be portable on this one 2TB HD drive that cost me about the same as some 256GB thumb drives.
