    The Seagate External Hardrive is everything I expected. It is smaller then then WD Harddrive and has a fast transfer rate.

    I had malware hit my recently deceased brother's computer that deleted all backups on my brother's external hard-drive and this one had only one. Otherwise I would have lost everything my brother had saved for five years.

    Was looking for a hard drive compatible with the ps4 so it had to be a portable hard drive 3.0. It worked fine.

    It was suppose to be plug and play. I meant to use it on my Mac, but it didn't even recognize the drive, so I tried it on my PC. Nadda. Zilch. Can't even see the drive. And when I plug in, there is spinning sound coming from it. If you read the Costco reviews on this, you'll see many people had the same experience with faulty external HD, either at purchase, or less than 6 months. So I returned it, and bought a different external hard drive that's not the same model.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
