    Use this to back up my laptop which is used to backup a couple of phones. Setup was a no brainer and setting up backup process was quick. I use it for data and full disk backup. I even did a test restore for a phone. Worked as expected.

    A very nice drive to have if you need to back anything up. I use it for two different computers and have begun using it to backup everything on my ork computer as well. Very quiet and the backups don't tend to take very long to complete.

    Was looking for an external hard drive for my Xbox one and found this product. Was kinda skeptical but it said it would work and the reviews backed it up. So I got it and it's been working perfectly fine for me since then, no issues.

    I was told this external was compatible with both Mac and PC. I installed on my Mac, backed up some files, then backed up some files on my PC. When I returned to the Mac to back up more files, it wouldn't work. Now I can only back up files on my PC. I don't understand why it won't work on my Mac when it originally did.

    I bought this as for extra storage I have used seagate drives before. It is pretty fast. I t seems to get a little hot. The price was great and it was available in store. The included software works ok. I would buy another one at that price.
