    This is the perfect device I can keep it in my safety deposit box or I can bring it home and use it. It stores everything I need.

    I replaced an old seagate that required external power with this model. It's a small drive with a lot of space and doesn't require external power.

    Plenty of room! I partitioned this drive into two 2TB sectors and clone mine and my wife's iMac's to it every so often as a redundant back up.

    I can't believe they fit 4tb into this little hard drive and I've never had any issues with booting or errors so all in all a great product.

    I use this to back up my computers so it stays in the house, but it is so light and thin that can go anywhere without being cumbersome.

    I was very happy with the suggestion of the Best Buy associate in helping me choose an appropriate back up storage unit for my Surface Pro3. This unit was simple to format for Windows 10; after a little research and trial and error.

    This is a small easy to use external hard drive. I would definitely buy it again. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish the cable it came with was a tighter fit. It's fallen out a few times which is a pain.
