    I had previous version of Seagate hard drive 1TB and love it. This one needs to download tool kit, install, set up, register, etc. so many things and did not backup as you want to SAVE.

    Found it difficult to use after using WD ones bought from Best Buy for years. Think Best Buy unfortunately stopped carrying the ultra WDs that hold 1T and just carry specisl ones WD just makes for them. Could be wrong. The ultra WD super easy to use but have to remember a few items not in user profile have to add to backup.

    Connector to lab top is loose so I have to wiggle it to stay connected. Not a tight fit.

    I bought this needing to go to various computers (PC and Mac) to quickly transfer data onto this single hard drive. I had purchased Seagates in the past and was always happy with them. This, however, is not plug and play and requires a huge program to be installed, which was not an option for me. I returned it and bought a plug and play hard drive.
