    This a great deal for the money, it is a good starter storage drive, as you find more things to store you will need larger drives.

    2.5 years later, and this hard drive still works perfectly. I used it to replace the internal hard drive in my PS4, so it is constantly being used. No regrets!

    Needed additional memory for kids Xbox and this drive worked perfectly. A good alternative to the more expensive drives that claim to work best for Xbox.

    This was just what I needed to backup some things on computer and on my PS4. Works great. Caught this one on sale. If anyone needs more backup storage then this is your product.

    Allowed me to avoid purchasing additional large capacity flash drives. I was able to consolidate data from 5 32G and 4 16G flash drives into one devise with lots of room to spare.

    Got it on sale for 69$, USB 3.0 is fast, moved big chunks of data fast and reliably. USB cable is all you need, no additional cables for power source. Good, small, fast drive

    Super easy to use, even I can do it. Plug and use, drag files from your computer drive to the Seagate drive and that's it. This is my 2nd Seagate and a gift for my husband.

    The program that comes with the drive is super easy to use, just click back-up, and the program automatically backs up the entire computer for you. Easy to carry around too.

    I bought this portable hard-drive because I have another Seagate portable hard-drive that is very helpful to have. It has a lot of space- perfect for artists and musicians.

    This is a great, reliable backup drive. I find they last significantly longer if you raise it using something like two pencils to increase the airflow around it.

    After six months of use this hard drive seems to be operating normally. The price on the unit was very competitive and the service at Best Buy was remarkable.
