    I've always loved Seagate hard drives & preferred them over Western Digitals. Great quiet hard drive!

    Does what it is supposed to do. In orider for it to work you have to download a program on a pc. It feels rather flimsy in your hand compared to my old maxter Drive

    I would not recommend this unit but I wouldn't steer anyone away from it either. Price is all right but not a great bargain. Easy to use but a bit slow. Just a basic tool; no worries.

    Much finger pointing saying it was the computer and not the drive. Spent hours on the phone with both Seagate and Apple and even brought the device to an Apple Store and device did not work on any other computer so Seagate is replacing the drive after close to 5 hours of troubleshooting. Hoping the new (unfortunately refurbished unit) will work satisfactorily.

    Overall I am happy with the purchase. I have only had it a few months but no issues. I have it connected to my TimeCapsule and I can access it wirelessly from my laptop which is great. A good Ext Hard Drive for any Mac owner.
