    While I haven't had alot of time to use the computer at this point, it appears to be meeting the needs of my wife who uses it for her live chatting for her job. I bought this computer because it was recommended to me as the best one to allow me to pursue my hobby with creating videos out of my pictures.

    As usual the Seagate external hard disk drives serve its purpose... Have not tried to use it as an external system boot device just yet, however for backup files works fine...

    Used it as a replacement internal drive for my PS4. Would've rather used it as an external, but that's Sony's fault, not Seagate's. I'm just glad it fits inside and it is cheap!

    Needed some more room to store games in my Xbox One. Just plugged the included cable into the back of the Xbox One. Answered a few questions on the screen and voila. It's done.

    This driver is exactly what I needed. Small, sleak and quiet. I formatted it for Mac (journaled) and use it for backups and to hold all my photographs (20 MPixel each). This drive is very fast.

    I have an older laptop and instead of getting a new one, I was able to back everything up. Simple to do, could take a bit if there's a lot to back up, other than that, it's great.

    Great external hard drive for the PS4. Swap out the internal hard drive with this one. 2tb for less. And you still have the original to put back in the casing to use. Perfect buy.

    I bought this 2TB ext HD so the Geek Squad could back up int HD data before my old computer finally died. Restoring data from this unit to my new computer's HD was awesomely EZ.

    I had bought a WD EHD and did not like it, had a dashboard which I did not understand nor want. I wanted an EHD that I could use as a hard drive, without bells and whistles. I have two other Seagates that are a few yrs old, each is 500 GB, love them. Returned the WD and got this one, turns out it had a dashboard also! Called the help line, they explained I don't have to use the dashboard, just use the EHD like I use the others. Simple, love it, SMALL and did not like that, but it's been great so far! Only complaint is the length of the cord. Good thing I have a place on the front of my desktop to plug this into, and I have to keep this on the same shelf drawer as my keybord.

    I have been using these drives since my WD bricked and am pleased. Keep in mind that these are cheap mass produced and slow compared to sata drives and of course SSD but for the price point it's cheap storage. I have multiple drives since failure is expected on small percentage of these.

    I am a photographer and download a lot of imaged that I like to edit when I have free time. It is small doesn't take up much space in bag. Only thing is it I wish I had gotten a bigger one because after one month I have already filled it half way.
