    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.

    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.

    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.

    Seagate Expansion Drive Review

    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).
