    Nice little drive. Fast, dead silent. Having it bus powered is a huge benefit, it makes it simple to take it on the road.

    I'm a Mac and PC both user. I was confused how different the normal 4T external hard drive and this as both can use for Mac and PC. Then after all chatting with the best buy customer helper, I decided to buy this as my main device to use is Mac and it's a perfect choice. If you download "Paragon program" on Seagate website, you can use without any formatting on PC. Working properly and very nice size for the big data external hard drive.

    Seagate is a good backup. I have yet to have any problems with it. I recommend this to anyone backing up a lot of images. Very good portable drive without needing it to be plugged in.

    I am a GoPro/canon camera/cell phone video/photo habitual taker. I take photos and videos daily, whether it’s of my daughter talking gibberish, my cat cackling at the shadows or capturing our family memories every hike or exploration we go on. As you can imagine, that takes up a lot of space, which my laptop was out of. Thankfully this 1tb life saver is easy to use and store my photos/videos on.

    Being a photographer, I tend to fill up hard drives rather quickly. I can honestly say that is no longer the case with 4TB of storage! The drive is super quiet and small. It fits in my backpack and I take it everywhere. The only thing that would make it better is a longer cable. It is just too short when you need to grab your laptop and move around.

    I have had multiple Seagate drives over the years and have two of the 2tb version of this drive. 4tb is only slightly larger than the 2tb slim drives, but speed and performance is far better than the slim. Overall a great purchase!

    I purchased this size in order to consolidate all my other little external hard drive's I love it so much data in one place instead of umpteen other places. Ease-of-use for sure I would highly recommend this product to others!
