    I thought I could only use this device as a backup drive for my hard disk. I backed all of my photos to this device and was able to play them back on other devices and computers. A pleasant surprise.

    This unit is small enough to carry in your pocket. It's fast enough to back up your computer. It's quiet enough....well...that it's just not a bother at all. Great product and highly recommended.

    Poor Performance

    Bought this to replace a "full size" external Seagate drive for more capacity. After copying all data from my 1GB drive to this 2GB drive I hooked it up via the USB port on my Netgear router. The previous "full size" drive never had any poses or delays. This drive did it frequently. I like Seagate, so I'm gong to go back to a "full size" external drive to hopefully get the performance I had with my previous one.

    I was at the store and they were out of stock on bare drives. Seems like they don't stock anything anymore. So I bought this, took it home and took it apart. I put this drive in my PS4, and the old one in this case, now I have a bigger PS4 drive and a spare portable! Plus it was almost $20 cheaper than the bare drive!

    Excellent way to carry a couple of II-fone recharges anywhere. Only change I would suggest: why not have same cord for Seagate as used for powering I-Fone with electricity, so only one needed

    Honestly I bought this external drive specifically to replace my PS4’s existing hard drive. I can now store more DLC and media, as well as digital copies of games, freeing-up physical space at home. Truth be told, I will be swapping this 2TB out for a better one as soon as SSD prices drop.

    I bought it for my mom when she got a new computer so she could so she could back up her pictures and important documents and have them with her new computer. She loves how easy it is to use.
