    I purchased the Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 2tb External Usb 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive as I have a Toshiba and a Western Digital external drive. The Seagate works just as well as the other two drives that I own and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some additional hard drive space.

    I bought this product to be my primary back-up system for my new desktop computer. I was running out of memory on my older back-up drive, because it was backing up three computers. My older drive was also not very portable. This one needs no external power supply. It was very easy to set up.

    I needed the extra room to keep all of my classes and assignments in order and in ONE PLACE instead of a different flash drive every semester. This is an amazing product with incredible room. I definitely recommend it to anyone that may be a student.

    I bought this product to hold files of video, pictures and, music for when I do video editing on my MacBook Pro. You know to save storage space on my MacBook if you have one you know what I'm taking about. Two Terabytes is more than enough for everything I do and the transfer speed is pretty fast.

    it is a good hard drive that does the job. the issue with these hard drives is that if they are too sensitive. so if you drop them once, you are dead.

    After a friend told me about his hard drive crashing and losing spreadsheets and pictures I decided to be sure it would not happen to me. I looked at Best Buy for an external drive and I definitely made the right choice. This drive met all of my needs and came with extra perks I wasn't expecting,

    Very slim, portable and lightweight! Love it! Would definatly recommend to a friend! Make sure you either buy a case for it or be very gentle. If you're too rough with the device you might damage the internal memory and possibly lose data so be carful!!! Other than that a great product!

    We use dozens of these in my company to transfer footage between offices and for delivering finished videos to our clients. The size is quite convenient for shipping and we've never had one fail. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a compact, fast, durable external hard drive.
