    The size is so useful for traveling and you do not need an extra power to run it. Just Make sure you are using a MAC with this model. Otherwise you will have to download a driver to use it on a PC. It wont run on a PC unless you download the driver. If u are using a PC just get the regular version of this one.

    This hard drive is great. Helped me transfer files from an old laptop to a new one, and also has plenty of space to store older files and photos long term that I didn't need to put on my new computer.

    I am so glad that I bought this. I am a photographer so my laptop was unable to hold all of my pictures. I started storing them all on my external hard drive, and that was the best choice I ever made. My computer runs faster because of the free memory, and I can view my pictures from, not only my computer, but anyone else who has a Mac. Convenient, lightweight, portable, and easy to store. I don't know why I didn't get this sooner.

    Seagate For Mac Is A Must

    If you own a Mac you understand the need for additional storage since Apple is extremely stingy with hard drive space. Apparently this 1 TB hard drive offers 1 TB of hard drive space. Go figure.
