Great all around harddrive. Use it daily for storage of my photos. Small, compact, and can take anywhere. Was easy to set up and has pretty good speed for a smaller harddrive.

But if you want to save money, go with the STDR1000100 instead and format it for a Mac. Takes all of two minutes and saved me about $15.

This hard drive is by far the best portable drive I have ever used. I store all of my audio samples for music production on it, and there is no delay in loading up a sound in my software. This drive is much more durable than the Western Digital MyPassport Ultra, as I dropped one off of a desk, and it was no longer functional. However, with this Seagate Backup Plus 1tb drive, it has survived multiple falls and hits with no resulting issues or damage. Still, definitely take care of this drive. Seagate makes a rubber case for this drive for about 10 dollars, which is totally worth it for the extra protection.

I managed to get the USB 3.0 version and I am really impressed with the speed and it has not given me a single problem since I bought it.

This hard drive is slick and small and was very easy to store and back up my photos from my computer. Best Buy by far.

I purchased this backup system to use on my MAC with it's Time Machine program. Easy setup. Works great! Small and quiet.

I don't really need one desperately so I just needed one fro music, and it's great, easy to use and compatible with my Mac. I love it and it's not that expensive for 300 gb

It was so easy to use! I recommend this to everyone because it's easy to use and very reliable.

Nice compact drive for laptop computers.Use with time machine backup on laptop Mac... Good Price.

This product worked perfectly, it took about 10 minutes to clean out our computer. Now we have twice the amount of room to add more programs and pictures.

Easy to setup On a mac and responds fast. Use it for photography.

Great backup, lots of storage. Easy to setup and use.

Great portable HDD. Works on Mac and Windows (with Paragon driver). Very fast transfer speeds and free 1TB cloud space!

I'm pleased with the quality of this Seagate for Mac and the delivery was prompt. What I'm disappointed in is the "bonus" that Best Buy offered, which was your choice of a $20 gift in Shutterfly merchandise or an 8x8 free photobook. Each time I tried to redeem it, the code would load and I'd get a message that said "sorry, this code has been used." I called customer service twice and was transferred both times and they sent me a new code. On the third try (now this has taken me over an hour in time) I still got the same message - and I tried to redeem it on a different computer and my phone. See example (partial code blacked out) attached. The customer service rep said, "Sorry, we cannot give you another code - we've tried three times." I asked if she would just place an order - no. So, I've expended more than the $20 in time lost but it was principle... I do think Best Buy shouldn't offer something that has hitches in it. I am not a novice at computers - I'm on the computer over 80 hours a day. So, thumbs down on the bonus and thumbs up on the external hard drive.

I've had this Seagate Plus portable hard drive for Mac for about a year and have thus far had no problems. However, be wary once problems do arise. I first took the drive back to Best Buy to get it diagnosed, however apparently every computer in the Geek Squad department was being used to transfer data. So, the attendant offered to ship the drive to HQ to be assessed for *get ready* $200 processing fee. I wasn't even sure if the drive was the problem at this point. After trying the drive on various other Macs, with a number of other cables, I determined it was the drive that had the issue. After contacting Seagate, I was told that I could return my drive to HQ only to hear that Seagate "may replace your product with a product that was previously used, repaired, and tested to meet Seagate specifications." I'm sorry if I don't want a pre-used drive that was previously returned because of problems.. My brand new drive was supposed to "meet Seagate specifications" and it broke within a year.. Additionally, in order to recover my files, Seagate was going to charge a $50 processing fee *not too bad* ......AND a $550 recovery fee.. *jaw drop*. The problem was a faulty hard drive, and I don't recommend the product because of the terrible warranty (giving you a pre-used drive) and the insane cost to retrieve files when it wasn't even my fault that the drive broke. Thoroughly annoyed and will no longer buy from this brand.

I waited a long time to buy a slim drive because I didn't really see the need before I had a smart tv, but it proves itself more useful everyday. Wireless is not always reliable and it's nice to have a convenient hard-wired option.

This hard drive works very well for backing up my MacBook Pro. It took some time to figure out how to format it, but other than that it's been good and reliable. I like Seagate products. They always seem to work well.

This portable hard drive is exactly the size I was looking for. It's slim and compact...fits in my hand I do need to get a case for it. I currently still carry it in the original box with the sub cable.
