So far so good. The drive is and does what it says it does. There was no power cable in the box when I opened it. But Best Buy immediately resolved the situation and got me a new power supply on the very next day. Thank you Best bye good job as usual.

Tons of space and it is very fast in copying/accessing files. Also sleek and, although it does make some noise when it's being accessed, it's pretty quiet.

NOT 16 GB!!!!

Not 16 GB. It checks out at 14.5 GB. I bought in part with $220 gift card after purchase of a major appliance. I can't figure out what is taking 1.5 GB of space on drive. Even after reformatting still only 14.5 GB. Is this false advertising? Cud have gotten 16 GB WD drive elsewhere for less but I have had really bad experiences with WD drives in my past. Still 14.5 GB much more than I need at this time but I am disappointed and annoyed that I can't see where the 1.5 B is on the hard drive.

Extern internal hard drive

It makes lots of noise where the drive is moving back-and-forth even when you’re not using it. It seems to slow down my computer for some reason. I bought a new computer with a fast processor but it’s slow which may be due to this external drive.

I only gave this one star because I couldn't give it a lower rating. This came broken and my other exact Seagate broke yesterday after I had it for only 3 months. I had SO MUCH information and downloads on it that can not be recovered! STAY AWAY FROM SEAGATE!!! Don't lose your valuable data! I just traded in my broken one for a WD. Good luck to you if you buy this garbage!

Working great so far. Came with all the necessary cables. Fast file transfer speeds. Have not used the built in software so can't speak to its usefulness.

Seagate Expansion Drive Review
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Drive arrived in perfect condition.
Excellent unit. Very high capacity in a small package. I am using it for storage with my Zapper Box TV off-the-air DVR and it is completely compatible with this unit (I checked with Zapper Box before purchasing).

Excellent drive and tons of storage. I've used Seagate external drives for many, many years and only ever once had a problem. These prove to be very reliable when it comes to storing all your personal files and backups.
