    I was using Western Digital external hard drives until they got greedy and stoped formatting their drives for Mac & PC. Found the Seagates to be more user friendly.

    I bought this because I wanted a USB 3.0 backup drive for my data. It plugs in and starts working pretty much instantly. The file transfer is fast and flawless. It works pretty much as the manufacturer describes. The only "flaw" is that it's not smaller in size.

    This is for my daughter to use in her last year of HighSchool and to take with her to college. She's learned recently that using a backup system is vitally important

    I always use these drives as "shipper" drives. They hold up during shipments and haven't failed yet. Transfer time is fairly quick, not slow at all.

    Great backup for XBox! Just plug into USB drive and XBox formats it in a short time. Only caveat... can either use with Windows OR XBox, not both

    Seems to have ample storage, however it did not come with adequate instruction on how to install so I am still struggling with that issue. It seems to be operating okay but I am not sure?

    Grate speed This is my first Seagate and I can say that I have been wasting my time with some other brands. This model is vary nice, and It’s speed is definitely faster then others. I know that in the description of other brands it may say the same but truly there not.

    I'm sure this is probably a great hard drive for some, but I personally like the drag & drop method. This particular drive wouldn't allow me to do this. I'm saying I'd recommend it to a friend because I know they probably know more about using the cloud than I do.
