    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.

    A good simple to use external HD from a known brand. Hopefully encrypted HDs will become available for a fair price.

    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.

    This works very well. The Seagate dashboard is also helpful. I just plug it in and it automatically backs up all my files to the hard drive. Nice!

    I took this harddrive apart and it was a great upgrade to my existing harddrive. Tons of space and now I've got a nice sata connector for pulling info of old hard drives as a second job. It does what it's suppose to too but I enjoyed pulling it apart.

    My computer had failed, but thanks to this i managed to get absolutely everything off of it and onto the new one, now i'm mostly using it as extra storage for my xbox. it doesn't require it's own power source so it's much more useful as portable storage.

    I used this to upgrade my PS4's hard drive. Works flawlessly. First one was DOA but the Best Buy customer service was awesome when I exchanged it.
