    I was surprised on how efficient it is. I edit video with it and it worked perfectly. This is a great product and would recommend it any video producer.

    This drive travels with me everywhere and has survived nicely in my backpack. I have a little Seagate padded sleeve that I had from an older drive to protect it, but no complaints so far.

    I use the drive to backup my Mac mini. It’s extremely easy to set up for automatic backups. The transfer time is relatively short (I’m backing up 1TB of info).

    I bought this drive in Aug 2016 to increase my storage in my Playstation 4 and it's still going strong. The 500 gb drive was just too small. I still have plenty of storage space.

    I use these for backups and also sometimes for a media drive when editing with Avid Media Composer. They're fast enough to cut with DNX36, no issues. I own a couple dozen.

    This 2tb hard drive will future proof your PS4. Disassembly required. *Please note* : when you take this drive apart you will be voiding the warranty and you won't be able to return it!

    I was impressed with the amount of memory(capacity of space 2TB) for the price. I will probably never use that much space but with the price, couldn’t pass it up.

    I have an Xbox one s and I plugged it in (do it when the Xbox is on already) and it will ask you what you'd like to do with this device. Now I have an extra 2tb storage for my games!

    This is a great item. I Love how I am continuing to back up stuff off my computer and is isn't even making a dent into the storage space. A must buy if you have a lot of data to store.

    Been using the unit for some time now and have had no issues with it's performance. Was a bit disappointed that there was a 50.00 difference between the Apple silver version and this version with absolutely no difference in the spec's. I do a lot of Apple, Linux, Windows systems / OS repairs and this unit comes in very handy.
