    Over the recent few years, I bought eight Seagate Backup Plus units. Nice price, work fine. Backup software provided seems a bit hard to use, but my patience is sometimes thin.

    Quality and affordability! Can be used on a PC or MAC. Recommend this product. If you are into color, the blue is more of a grey blue and nice to separate from other hard drives by color.

    Bought the external storage to transfer my laptop back up to set up a new mac. Super easy plug and play. 2 TB is more than I needed but for the price i couldn't resist getting the 2TB.

    Perfect to toss in my desk drawer. Has a great amount of space. I have thousands of photos, about 50 movies and a few TV series I needed to store and there was still space left. Great buy!

    Got a new phone and decided that I should get an external hard drive so I can download and save all my photos from my old phone, rather than clog up my computer. Worked like a charm

    I was looking for a portable drive to transfer files from my PC to my Mac. Most of the drives require reformatting before being plugged into a different operating system. This one is compatible with both so you don't need to do anything extra.

    I purchased this external drive to serve as the destination for my new iMac's Time Machine automatic backups. It was very easy to set up and has been working flawlessly so far. Although as a backup drive for my home computer I won't be carrying it with me, it is a perfect size if you do need to tote extra storage along with your laptop. It's very small and lightweight. Really, it's got everything I need.

    Nice product: easy to use, great capacity in a small format. Had a Seagate before this one, so did not need to install a new driver. Of note, my previous Seagate external drive still works fine years after purchase, so I am hopeful this one will last for years as well.

    The Hard drive has excellent read/write speeds. It is super silent when in work and very lightweight. The outside has a dark red finish very elegant sturdy and well designed. I am using the drive as a back-up so it pays all the money it costs. Finally I would buy any Seagate product again. Highly recommended for archiving.
