    The price was good and it works but the Seagate dashboard opens every time I log into my computer which is very annoying! It is used as a marketing tool to get me to sign up for its other services/products.

    Installing with a PC was a pain only because had to download a driver immediately or would not work at all. Once installed working ok. For a macbook - my daughter could not install and get working on her own. product itself is fine just these install issues.

    I watched a YouTube video for this product before I bought it. I don't know much about computers but was able to backup my hard drive easily. It look a long time to backup during the set up because I wasn't using time machine on my Mac. After that each backup was quick. I'm so pleased with this product.

    Got this at Best Buy on sale. Basically the unit is plug and play. Plugged it into my MacBook Pro and automatic backup started. I may have had to select time machine. I also put a separate folder on it to keep certain photos in. However you can drill down into the folders and locate a specific file to restore which makes it nice. I'm going to buy another one for my wife's computer.

    I only listen to music on longer runs when I really tend to sweat and have had trouble finding a set of ear phones that will stay put throughout the run. These have great sound quality for Bluetooth sound and they stay in my ears throughout the run.
