    I have bought previous external drives of this brand, all of them have work perfectly, of course just be sure to buy the one with the capacity you think might need. Excellent for media, music, photos, documents, etc.

    Great Drive - Not Really "Blue"

    Drive is a great little backup device, but don't expect it to really look "Light Blue" as in the photos; if you hold it just right, you might see a slight hint of blue, but it basically appears silver.

    I’m absolutely pleased with my purchase. I use it to back my photos and videos and it works perfect! I was also able to purchase additional security in the event something goes awry and the product itself comes with some free software! I’d recommend buying those camera to phone adapter things though which I have yet to do. My computer seems to big out if there are too much files to transfer over... But overall I love it! Does what I intended it to do I’m very happy!

    The Seagate is a great alternative to the cloud. It is easy to use and for 2TB it is well worth the cost.

    Bought something on Amazon that looked good but was poorly constructed and took forever to render files. I trust Best Buy and this product differently did what it was intended to.

    Plug it in and go, however goes really slow so spare at least 30min to upload large content. I used it to back up my files in order to add a Linux dual system. I tried adding photos and videos and it took 2hours. Also, consider reformatting it to NTF before using it.

    I have a lot of digital music and photographs that are important to me, so I don't want to lose any of it. So I make sure I have several backups and this external drive is great - small and fast. It is smaller than my wallet. The transfer rate is fantastic. I may buy another one.
