    Good Drive

    I needed some more stage for my media and backups. The only issue I had with this one is that my main desktop won't read the hard drive. My laptop has no issue with it though. I can get around it by transferring things to my WD, then plugging both HDDs into my laptop and transferring that way, but it takes a bit. Could just be a hardware issue on my end.

    Does It's Job, But Trouble With Windows 10

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

    We bought this for my husband to use with his gaming PC. Seems to work fine, but it caused the PC's hard drive to crash when we were forced to install Windows 10 in an update. Took us forever to figure out it was the problem, finally had to reinstall Windows without it.

    Seagate makes great hard drives!

    I only buy Seagate hard drives (both internal and external) because they seem to hold up the best. Plus, they fit well into all aftermarket enclosures.

    Great product I highly recommend

    This is my favorite 2T hard drive for backups of my Mac. It is tiny but has huge capacity. I have never had a failure of this drive and my only wish is that it came in a 7200 RPM version. The drive speed is not listed on the packaging, but I gather from Internet searches that it contains a 5400 RPM drive.

    Great backup source for price

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

    I think we caught this on a clearance price but don't quote me on that one. A two terabyte drive for under 100 dollars is amazing. We have a 1 terabyte WD (my passport) that was purchased about 3 or 4 years ago and it cost us about 140 dollars on sale. The big difference between these two back up drives are the software interfaces. The WD has a more graphic interface showing different areas for files as they are being backed up. This drive shows progress with a small progress line and percentage. Overall, it's doing what it's supposed to do, and that is protecting files.

    Great for xbox one

    The xbox has very small storage when you compare how many games you can fit on a 500gb console so these are a must have if you get lots of games
