    The price is what lured me, but the overall slim profile and portability is sold me. Easy plug and play and is used to be my computers back up system.

    The Backup Plus 2T has plenty of room to backup my laptop and desktop. I just plugged it in and started a backup right away. Great value for the price.

    I use this for additional storage attached to my desktop. So far, so good. It is attached and on all the time and has worked perfectly so far - for about 3 months.

    Works great out of the box for Time Machine backups without any need to reformat the disk. This is a great, inexpensive and reliable back up solution.

    I bought 2, one for my friend and one for me. He downloaded the Seagate back-up program and I chose to use it more like a giant flashdrive. While my way does not have many fancy features, it works and I love it. I have never had any problems and would definitely recommend this to anyone. My friend, on the onther hand, keeps getting frustrated because the program is a tad slow and glitches every now and then. I think the item itself is awesome, the additional programming sucks.

    Had an older external backup the was cumbersome to use so I broke down and purchased this Seagate backup. It works great and is much easier to use!

    I purchased this drive because it is twice as big as the PC drive, so I can create a clone and do other backups. Seems to be working as it should.
