Customer Ratings & Reviews

I do not give 5 star ratings on items I just recently purchased. The unit performs as advertised and fits my needs quite well.

Nice to be able to safely off load items to this external hard drive. Frees up loads of memory yet keeps it close at hand.

Exactly what I was looking for in a hard drive. This one seem less interface with my macbook air

Love my seagate back up, would have been nice to know that I needed to download a secondary driver in order for it to work.

The drive itself is nice and quiet, you barely even know that it's running. Had an issue getting the back-up software to load so I gave up and just used the file history in Windows.

I bought this hard drive for transferring recordings from my DVR. Worked great! Highly recommend this product!

I have to say, I am a fractionally disappointed in this item, after reading so many good reviews on it. I got this as a gift. First, the HFS+ driver. Not a good idea, unless it is a total must. Mac's can read FAT32 or FAT. I left mine alone.. On apple's website this gets a 3 star rating. Due in part by it working selectively across platforms. The reason I say this. Once you run Time Machine, It is really hard for the Super Slim to read or write on a Windows OP system, driver or not. Because for the most part Mac's have the same configuration. Then, if you buy an external drive for a MAC. Leave it alone.. It is best to keep it as is.. This is from many years of experience from LACIE, to WD . The issues are that it is not consistent, but that is and could be the older version of this one. The box looks different, etc... . I have it and looks and feels great. Do get a casing to protect it from it's exterior. Some get corrupt and some do not. Since it is for a MAC. Stick to that, if you can, It will do you a service and this will last. If you bought in US you only get a 90 day retail warranty. You can look this up here http://seagate.com/retailwarranty. I would suggest opting for BEST BUY's Extended Warranty on this. As I have none. Although if you buy this in the EU. You get 2 years of Warranty as opposed to what is advertised on Best Buy's site (not their fault in my opinion). It is confusing when you read the quick start guide inside the box. I could easily see the administrative snafu. The other part to this is the Data encryption. It does not exist!! Why? This is the only company that came out with the first 4TB of this class and they do not have a way to encrypt your Data files?? If you have classified info, You may want to opt for one that does? Maybe it really does not matter for the sake of the size of this great device. Really is, just pointing out the facts. . In the case that you get your item taken with too much personal data. It could cause a major head ache. I have this and of course already a cloud storage of sorts. With a WD passport circa 12'. I use my back ups for media files. I work in the mixed media industry. Both design with music and design on web and print.. Thus have a lot of work and important sorts, here lies my main disappointment for such a nice looking and reasonably priced storage unit. I would only use this drive for non-personal data and get a different drive for your personal data. It is great other wise, very easy to use. Plug and go. Ideal for a student or family house. The device powers this portable drive through the USB connection. You do not need an external power source. Incredible speeds and ease of interface functions. Like the compatibility with the 3.0/2.0 USB. Over all this is would be a 10/10, But give it a 8.9/10. For lack of security and compatibility issues. That is all. Cheers!!

This has plenty of space for my work and personal use. It is user friendly and very easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

This is a quality external hard drive. My only negative comment is that you need to plug it into a wall outlet to power it.

I am using it simply as an external drive. There was virtually no set up involved. It worked perfectly right out the gate.

I purchased this for my mac and it does great for backing uo my system and storing my pictures and videos.

Without it, my career in DJing would have been over. It is sturdy and reliable. Recommend it completely.

Worked as expected for backing up some pics, needed To fee up some space on hard drive.

Have used seagate external drives fire years without any problems. Love the speed of USB 3.0 over 2.0

I needed a drive to transfer recordings between DISH Hoppers. It's a slow process, but that's all on DISH.

Great price for size of External Hard Drive. I have it connected to my Mac and the transfer rate can feel slow.

I have truly enjoyed this product. I quickly was able to backup my laptop to this drive. I am happy I bought it.

This helped me have an extra backup of my photos and videos!

This is a great 2TB Backup Drive even thought I didn't' use the software! Worked great! Great price!

Does the job. A little clunky Setting up using Apple and Apple time machine. Still worth the money but be prepared to spend time setting up.
