    It does what I bought it for but it's not very cut and dry to figure out. Being that it's 2020 you'd think the user interface would be super easy to navigate and understand by now. Instructions and explanations of the different options would be very helpful.

    works just like any back up without the large price tag of big name brand hard drives. gets hot so give it room to get some air. this is my second one. 1st one died just over the year mark. my current one is over a year and still kicking.

    Working Fine So Far

    A back up external hard drive is kind of hard to review. So far it is working just fine. I use it for regularly scheduled backups for my laptop. I'm sure that, like the last one, it will work fine until suddenly it doesn't. ;-)

    The Seagate backup drive never disappoints. I used another brand backup drive in the past and 2 of them went bad with all my data on them. Fortunately I also had the Seagate backup so I didn't lose all the data. Wouldn't use anything but Seagate!

    Relatively quiet disk compared to WD. I bought longer 3 and 6ft USB cables than the 1ft that comes with it so it's farther away from the desk. I use it for iMovie and my MacBook Pro Retina 2014 I boght at Best Buy. Very fast.

    I had to Seagate Plus 1TB. So it was time to upgrade. I read reviews and went with the one. It is not living up to the hype. It also causes a weird glitch of freezing my computer from time to time when it detects updates to the drive or if I add any content to the drivevand tries to update it. Not pleasant.. I would not recommend.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
