    The software does not back up everything. I had to purchase a 3rd party backup program to fully use the drive.

    Great for storing movies from a satellite box. It's on all the time though. I wish it would shut off when the unit it's connected to is off.

    Simply plug in USB and the seagate hard drive is good to go! It's slim design is great to not take up too much space. And if you want to travel with the drive, it's obviously portable with no power source needed but the USB connection.

    Whew! Finally got my Time Machine set up! Not having it was stressing me out so much. I finally looked through a ton of reviews online and settled on this drive. It's perfect, and having that peace of mind is a big weight off my shoulders. Back up your files, play it safe!

    I bought this after my old hard drive crashed after a couple years, I use this to back up my iTunes since the files are too large for the computer to store it. The main issue is it doesn't give simple instructions for install, it seemed like it didn't install since it sent me into a loop with downloading it but it worked. Some reason I can't see it on my computer that well, I had to use a back door way to disconnect it from the computer.

    I own two of these, one for my computer and one for my wife's. They perform super. It's much better to save your data to this external than to the hard drive on the computer. Computers tend to crash but I haven't had one of these drives do that.

    Seagate products are a big part of my life. I have internal and external drives that save my life, allow my files to be portable and run many of my laptops and desktops. Seagate is a trusted brand and their drives keep on spinning..... and spinning ...... and spinning.

    Bought this to upgrade the hard drive on my PS4, at first i wasnt 100% sure if this would work since i had gotten a smaller one before for my friend, but it works and fit perfectly with no issues, if you have a small storage space on your PS4 I highly recommend getting this

    My 2-year old Toshiba external hard drive was corrupted and I went searching for a replacement. A lot of bad reviews for Seagate and I almost went for a WD. After careful research, I decided to go for Seagate due to the more compact size. Boy, and I am not disappointed.

    This is my first time into owning external HDD... This bad boy was super simple to set up! I bought this mainly for my Xbox One... It was pretty much plug and play! As soon as it was plugged in, I was prompted to reformat it... And done! Opened up all kinds of room for my games!

    My son needed more storage for his xbox one and this was the perfect solution. Was recommended by Best Buy sales associate. I believe he just connected via USB port and it worked great.
