    The price is what lured me, but the overall slim profile and portability is sold me. Easy plug and play and is used to be my computers back up system.

    Works great out of the box for Time Machine backups without any need to reformat the disk. This is a great, inexpensive and reliable back up solution.

    I bought 2, one for my friend and one for me. He downloaded the Seagate back-up program and I chose to use it more like a giant flashdrive. While my way does not have many fancy features, it works and I love it. I have never had any problems and would definitely recommend this to anyone. My friend, on the onther hand, keeps getting frustrated because the program is a tad slow and glitches every now and then. I think the item itself is awesome, the additional programming sucks.

    I purchased this drive because it is twice as big as the PC drive, so I can create a clone and do other backups. Seems to be working as it should.

    Great hard drive. It's slimmer than I thought. It's even slimmer than my 1TB seagate hard drive I bought a couple of years ago.

    I needed an external hard drive for my PS4, I believe this one is the best on the market for performance at a great price. $69 can't beat it.

    I took this harddrive apart and it was a great upgrade to my existing harddrive. Tons of space and now I've got a nice sata connector for pulling info of old hard drives as a second job. It does what it's suppose to too but I enjoyed pulling it apart.

    This works very well. The Seagate dashboard is also helpful. I just plug it in and it automatically backs up all my files to the hard drive. Nice!

    My computer had failed, but thanks to this i managed to get absolutely everything off of it and onto the new one, now i'm mostly using it as extra storage for my xbox. it doesn't require it's own power source so it's much more useful as portable storage.
