    This is a great product and incredible price for the size. Was able to put everything onto this and get rid of the couple smaller ones I had. No issues at all with this item.

    I was already using the same drive for a portable storage to supplement my solid state drive on my PC. It was easy to select the same pre-formatted for my MacBook Air.

    I've long trusted Seagate hard drives and continue to turn first to that brand when I need one.

    I needed an external drive for backing up my Mac so I purchased the Seagate Slim Backup Plus, 1 TB. It was formatted to my Mac so it was ready to go. So far so good.

    I've had my new drive for a few months now and it's still working great. I love how compact it is. It fits easily in any of my bag pockets when I'm editing on the road.

    My portable hard drive is great. Everything worked, I had to email the company and asked one question about deleting what I put on it, and got the answer quickly.

    I needed to back up my MacBook Air as a safety precaution. It was simple to use and what I like is I use "Time machine" with this hard drive. It's also light weight and not very big.

    I wanted a small, unobtrusive and quiet backup drive. This does the job very well. Lots of storage for the job, fast data transfer and almost completely noiseless.

    Drive worked right out of the box with my MacBook Air using Apple Time Machine. Small form factor and reasonably high capacity combined with good price makes this USB drive a winner.

    I got this to backup and expand the space of my MacBook Air. It's nice and light, doesn't take much energy for when your on the run. It's not supper fast so consider options for large file transfers. Let backups take place plugged in and while you take a break.

    This is my second time purchasing a Seagate Hard Drive and I'm not disappointed. As a filmmaker, having a hard drive or three is a must. Trust me it's worth the money.

    Does exactly what I need. Had to buy a new cord after a while from poor use (on my part) but good to know you can buy them for cheap!
