    I had seagate external hard drive 2tb, and after 1 year exactly it stopped working. I got this hard disk for 2 weeks and then returned it too because it started to give a weird sound when it's connected to my laptop. Seagate is not the best brand unfortunately in external hard disks. But it works good with both Mac and Windows and this is the only advantage with this brand in my opinion.
