    Wanted to have a backup for all of our pictures and with the large storage capacity, we can both. Backup our laptops. Just a bonus for those of us who take out laptops when we are on the go!

    I use this mostly for my go pro videos because they take up so much room on my laptop. Haven't even come close to filling this thing up yet. But when I do I definitely will buy another.

    I was concerned that backing up my Mac would be be complicated but I just plugged it in and fired up Time Machine. It took 6 hours the first time because I have USB 2.0 but it is very quick after that.

    I have many photos and the cloud or my computer did not seem secure enough as a storage place. An external storage unit such as this is better. This Seagate is a great value for the price.

    This hard drive was easy to link to my computer. It saves me the worry of crashing and losing everything, which is what happened prior to my purchasing this. Be safe and back up data!
