    Extremely high storage space, for a really good price, applications on it run a little slow when It comes to loading times, but nothing too significant, I already have installed 700gb worth of stuff on it and I still have 90% of storage left, insane!!!

    Seagate products are always efficient and reliable. This latest purchase made at Best Buy is no different, I am very happy with the product, both for its quality and its price.
