    My old hard drive crashed. I needed a replacement. I always liked Seagate and I jumped on this product once it was on sale.

    It doesn't have the strongest feel, but it does feel ok or good enough. I would unplug it when transporting it in a backack because the connection is like others, could easily bend when inserted. the light on it isn't too bright and it makes almost no noise. Works well with Windows, never any not recognized errors. Seems great. Speed seems good enough. I've had mine for over 2 years.

    I needed an external hard drive to back up my laptop's internal hard drive. This Seagate drive is working perfectly for the task. The transfer speed with USB 3.0 is heads above USB 2.0. I have not tried to use the supplied software. I just plugged it in, let the OS find a driver (I plugged it into a Windows 7 and a Windows 10 laptop) and I was ready to transfer files. I have about 1 TB on it now and have had no problems, but only time will tell how reliable it is in the long term.
