    After purchasing this drive I was not surprised by the quality or appearance, but I was surprised by the ease at which it connected to my system and the speed at which I was able to archive data. Seagate also included quality software to accomplish the task of maintaining a backup of my files.

    Bought this drive to use on the PS4. Works seamlessly, was able to hook up and format and transfer my games on to here freeing up my internal hard drive. Games load as quickly or even faster via this drive when compared to the internal drive in the PS4. Definitely a good purchase

    I use Seagate products for all of my externals. I was excited to try this new model with a slimmer and sleek look. When I plugged it into my Mac, I had difficulty moving files to it, despite having a Seagate Dashboard on my computer and making sure it was compatible with Mac. Eventually, I had to erase the hard drive and remount it on my computer. Once doing so, I have had no issues with the drive and love how little space it takes up on my desk.

    Seagate is The Best storage device / HD company in the market, the Slim version only puts them over the top.

    So far I like this external hard drive. Once I plugged it into my Mac I was immediately notified to reformat the hard drive, which I did. The hard drive worked perfectly with no problems. Now I have an extra, portable hard drive as an extra layer of protection against lost files.

    however these are only good for about 2 years after that move your files otherwise you might lose them. It would be a good idea to get a bigger system if you have a lot of content

    My daughters' old HP laptop was giving every indication that it was getting ready to die. I wanted to get all of her data off of it before that happened. This little drive was easy to set up and use, and will also be used as a backup drive for her new (formerly my) Surface Pro 3.

    After losing all kinds of data to a hard drive crash, I opted to spend a little extra money on this backup. I have one like it at home that I have used for two years and it has worked very well...so has this one (so far.) Well worth the money and I got this one on sale at Best Buy!

    I absolutely love the size and weight of this product. It's USB 3.0 compatible so I'm especially happy about that. I am satisfied with the speed I get when searching through my files on this drive. I got it with an optical drive and used the Visa Checkout ($25 off $100). Great buy.

    I do not trust storing or saving my personal information and photos in an on-line cloud. But there is the realization that my computer/ tablet will die. Because the loss of all my information is very real and or the cost of Best Buy (Geek squad) to recover it; made buying this device a no brainer for me.

    This is my second Seagate External hard drive. I am very pleased with the ease this product works. When they say plug n play they mean it. It is so easy to drag and drop files. I take the Seagate to my family and friends to show photos and videos. I will continue to purchase this product.
