    We bought this for our son who was just starting college. I had peace of mind that he would have all his work backed up and not run out or room! Great investment!

    I like this backup because I use it like an additional drive. I do not use any automated backup system.

    I needed a back up drive for my computer, in case something happens to it. As I'm not tech saavy, I needed something easy to use. This is it! Very happy!

    I needed a 2TB drive to put in my PS4 and they didn't have any straight laptop drives available. This was on sale for less than $100 and was pretty easy to open and remove.

    Portable? Yes; Holds a lot? Yes; Fast? Not so much

    In terms of hard drives, there is always a trade off between portability, size, and speed. While this drive is ultra portable and contains large size, it is not the fastest. Size: 2 TB of data is plenty! Portability: 2.5" size allows for you to ditch the power cord and have a light and easy to use drive. Speed: Do to the large size (>1tb) and superb portability (2.5" vs 3.5"), this external is only HDD is only 4500rpm. Because of this, the fact that is USB 3.0 is pointless and the spin rate would not even saturate a USB 2.0 bandwidth. Simple question then? Do you need 2tb? If not, get a 1tb 7200rpm drive. I needed 2tb so this was a perfect fit!

    Love this hard drive. More than enough storage for everything. The case is metal vs my others that are all plastic. Don't know if it would really protect anymore but it looks cool.

    It does the job I intended it to do. First time I used a Seagate external drive, and I like it well. Works fast and is very compact and light. It installed easily.

    Bought this for extra storage for my PS4 and it did the trick. Don't need to keep deleting things out anymore just to add something new.

    Is it worth $70? No, it is not. This hard drive is nothing speical. Its exactly what you would expect when buying a 2TB hard drive. I do like the choices of finish on the cover however. Its light weight and feels durable. But $70? I dont think Ill ever have to buy another again.

    I bought this HD to backup my Mac. After the first backup I have been having issues with drive not waking up so backup were missed and sometimes I had to restore the drive to able to use it. I was thinking about returning it but after some research online I did some settings adjustment keeping my computer disk from going to sleep and it seems to working fine now.
