    Purchased this for video storage uses. Went through three WD drives that all failed. So far this Seagate has been great with very good transfer speeds.

    It is certainly plenty of storage as a back-up drive (and lots more). If you're on the fence about how much storage to purchase, go with more.

    Excellent device. Can be used for backup drive or just as an external hard drive. It is USB 3 capable which speeds up the process.

    It's an external storage. Nothing special about it, but it does what the product description stated. No issues, works as advertised.

    Always had good luck with Seagate drives. My western digital portable drives seem to have a 1-2 year life span and die.

    Perfect product, especially because it supports USB 2.0 and 3.0, which I needed due to the age of my MacBook Pro.

    After reading the reviews, I decided to buy the seagate for what I needed. Not planning on running continuously, just backing up photos. Not complicated, but written instructions would be helpful.

    I wanted the all metal 3T WD drive, but they were out, so I got this instead. It's a 4T formatted for Mac, and so far so good. The case isn't all metal, however it stores photos pretty fast!

    Bought this to use with our Netgear router in order to create a share drive at home. This external hard drive is not compatible with Netgear model router. Works fine otherwise.
