    This external hard drive was very easy to use and easy to set up. It gets the job done and I like how slim it is and the portability of it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an external hard drive.

    Good back up for my data files and desktop image

    My original plan was to install an internal hard drive (HDD) to back up my data but my desktop apparently requires a proprietary SATA cabe that is difficult to get. I opted instead to purchase the Seagate external hard drive and use it with my QuickShadow backup software to save back up files to the Seagate in real time. It is working perfectly and as expected. Just a note - when I tried to save an image of my desktop drive to the Seagate I received an error from Windows saying the external drive needed to be in NTSF format. I simply had to convert the Seagate from exFAT (what the apparent default format was) to NTSF. I was then able to store the desktop image along with the QuickShadow data back up. I am happy with my purchase.

    I added this to my PS4 to get extra storage and this drive works seamlessly. PS4 recognized and formatted it right away. Got all the games back that I had to previously delete. Highly recommended.

    This is the second Seagate Backup Slim external drive I purchased. It worked so well on my first Mac for backups, it was a no brainer to buy a second one for my other computer. I highly recommend.

    Needed to offload a bunch of video files and a 2TB drive is the easiest way to do that. Have not had issues with previous Seagate drives, so kept to Seagate for new backup / transfer drive.

    Had 1 storage unit I filled. I am treasurer for a couple of non-profits and need to keep files. My computer was getting full with both them and my home stuff. Just plug in and use on my PC.

    . This did most of the work. Now my photos are being backed up externally which was required. Works well if maintained. I hope I don’t ever have that problem again. Thanks Seagate.

    This is a WOW purchase. I have a Dell Laptop, I 7 processor but very limited internal storage and not capable for any greater at a reasonable price. So I had to purchase little usb 25k GB and that is expensive. Well when I say 2 TB and a great price I grabbed this drive. It is a high valued brand (Seagate) it it thin, and 3.0 USB means it is fast. It us a companion to my Laptop, and the plus is if I have to share lots of data I can simply use this to share data. Bi points, Fast, lots of storage in a very spall footprint, the colors available are cool and once again I got it at a Best Buy Sale. I highly recommend.

    Have 2 these one is old. Bought 4 tb WD and it failed in 1 yr. Data is easy to recover. 2TB is alot of space if you can only run 2.0 Speed on one of old computers.
