    Great external HD. Very lightweight when compared to my Toshiba that recently crashed. I hope this lasts much longer and isn't as sensitive if it falls. Only time will tell.

    Great for use with my MacBook. Backups don't take too long (depending on how many files you have). Seems like it's quality-built.

    Great Backup Drive for a very reasonable price. Ended up being smaller than my needs unfortunately, but was still a great deal and I didn't regret purchasing it as a result.

    We bought this external hard drive as a Christmas present for our son. He has loved it as he has transferred many, many pictures and videos seamlessly to the hard drive.

    Even though my 1TB HD on my iMac only uses 300MB a 500MB Seagate Backup would not work. This 1TB works with Time Machine and the 500MB Seagate is now the Time Machine drive for my MacBook

    I'm not very experienced with using backup drives, but this one is pretty easy to use and its a nice, small size. I keep it in my computer case and I hardly know its there. Its also very lightweight. No problems thus far, I have been using it about 2 months.

    Needed a simple 1TB back up drive for our Mac. This has been a real "plug and play" experience. Have been using it for nearly two months and find no problems.

    Backs up automatically and all I have to do is click on the icon to open Seagate and make sure all my important stuff is there and accessible. It always is!

    I do not read reviews because I'm not smart enough to understand technical things. So I asked the clerk in the store I bought this based on his recommendation.

    Picked this up as a time machine backup for a Mac laptop and it has functioned perfectly so far. Would recommend it as a cost effective backup device.

    I use this exclusively for Time Machine backups and it does its job to a great degree, I even transferred my data from my old laptop to my new one using this.
