    You won't be sorry

    Knowing that my days were numbered on my old hard drive, I bit the bullet and purchased this Seagate. The space is what I needed most, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the extra free 200gbs of space offered on One Drive. It's quiet, sleek and unobtrusive. With that being typed, after biting that bullet and making this purchase, I pan fried it and seasoned it to taste. You won't be sorry.

    We got this when our computer needed to be backed up and it worked as expected. It was easy to transfer the information to the hard drive. Excellent value for the money!

    Great Drive for MAC and Windows

    I am using this drive with a Macbook Pro set up with bootcamp to dual boot between OSX Sierra & Windows 10. Drive is formatted NTFS for native use in Windows. The Paragon NTFS driver that can be downloaded for free works great to allow OSX to read and write to the drive. I am using the drive to share all my data between Windows and MAC to include iTunes Music library.

    I bought it for my xbox one and works great. Just the fact that it plugs in straight to the xbox is a plus for me. Had no problems at all. Nice products

    This drive is easy to hook up and use. As a student I've found it easy to back up my years worth of school data and clear up my laptop for next year.

    Very Good Backup Memory for PC

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this 2 TB hard drive to replace an old 300 GB Seagate mechanical hard drive that was starting to make worrisome grinding noises. The new H/D works great. Very quick on the storage and retrieval, and 2 TB should be ample room for my photos and documents. I would give it five stars if the restore app had a search feature. Having to remember where I stored a file, and then manually click through the file structure is slow and prone to error.

    Great portable HD...especially for USB 3.0!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I already have a couple of WD Passport HDs that I like. They are fast, but only had about 1 TB of storage. I was looking for a HD that I could travel with to hold video from GoPro cams, etc. I was wondering how well the Seagate drive would perform and I'm very impressed. I'm using it to store all of my action camera footage. Ironically, the only downside is that I still haven't found a good travel case for it. BTW, I can only comment on the performance of this drive for USB 3.0. I don't know how it will perform on the USB 2.0 only system.

    Great Hdd

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this to back up all my media from my laptop, 250GB of mostly music and some photos and documents. I'm using this on a Samsung laptop with a dual core i5 2.5 Ghz pro, 6 GB ram running Win 7 Premium. Plugged into the Usb 3 port it's a great performer, backed everything up in about 2 hours. I'll be using it once a week just to keep up on changes and so far it has worked perfectly. I've always used internal Seagate hdd's with an external hdd housing I have however that is only usb 2. Since those other hdd's never failed me I stuck with Seagate and bought this one here, again it has been working perfectly. I'll be buying another for my son, Thanks!!!

    Item is small and compact. Great storage for the price. HOWEVER... I purchased this online, and when I went to the store to pick it up, I found that it was $79.99 in store. CHECK YOUR STORE FOR PRICE BEFORE ORDERING ONLINE!!!!!!! But it is a great item.
