The Seagate Backup Plus 2TB external hard drive is easy to connect and setup on the iMac. I use it to backup photos, documents and other data using Time Machine. Works great!

I purchased this drive to use as an Time Machine backup drive for my iMac. This drive is to replace my failing 5 year old Toshiba drive. This Seagate Drive is double the capacity of my failing Toshiba drive but at least 1/4 as thin. The Seagate drive has performed well so far using macOS Sierra and I expect it to last several years.

Really good external storage solution for backing up your files. The included programs make it easy to back up not only your files but also your operating system, it also includes tools to encrypt sensitive files and keep them secure. Being a newer USB 3 device it offers great speed for quickly transferring and storing larger files.

I absolutely love this backup drive for my MacBook Pro. I’ve had this since July 2018 and it still has a great amount of space left on it. I use this as a backup for all my Adobe graphics, fonts, workbooks, brushes, files upon files upon files. I would highly recommend.
