    Great item. easy to use and does what's its supposed to. I needed one for my xbox one because I had very little storage. I was reluctant to purchase it because I've never had one. I finaly broke down and purchased it. Wish I had earlier. 10/10 would buy again. (Which I probably will for my ps4)

    I bought this HD to expand my laptop's storage capacity. I needed a USB 3 because I can transfer huge amount of data quickly. Although there are several USB 3 portable HDs I picked this one because of its price. I'm very pleased with my choose. Not only it's very fast, but it's also very light and very quiet. Furthermore it is very small and stays cool regardless how much you use it. It is made out of matte plastic that feels pretty well made, though I'd prefer aluminum for durability. The back of the drive has the USB 3.0 port and there's a small blue power/activity light on top of the drive. Also, there are small rubber feet on the bottom, to keep the drive from sliding around on your desk. The USB 3.0 cable is short, so it's best suited for use with laptops. It's compatible with both PC and MAC (OS X 10.4.8 and up). Also compatible with USB 2 (but with reduced transfer speed).

    It was a great price, it' got plenty of space, and it transfers files very quickly. It hasn't crashed and it hasn't attempted to summon any demons into my home. Five stars, would buy again.

    One of the best external Hard drives I have had in awhile. Overall, the price is somewhat fair, and it runs very smoothly and rarely makes noises. Super easy setup as well.

    I previously purchased a Seagate HD for my MacBook to use as a backup drive. It was so handy and portable to use, I had to buy this product to use with my PC. I love being able to keep backups of everything in case of a system crash, and these HDs are also great for storing large file or applications...my laptops stay free of space hogging items and clutter thanks to Seagate,

    I got this device on a sale at $49 and it was totally worth it. Seagate has a lot improved as the previous version was totally a letdown .. I still don't know how long this is going to last but for now I am very happy with my purchase. I play all my games on this and it runs smoothly.

    Definitely worth the $49 I paid for this. Runs fast and is worth the price! If you're a Mac user, you'll need to install Tuxiera to use this though, but no biggie.

    Bought these as a way to back up some important files and also as a way to move large amounts of data from our desktop to other computers. They have worked exactly how I expected them to. I have not had any problems and they were extremely easy to get up and running. They are also small and take up very little room which makes them great for taking with you while having more storage than a thumb drive.

    Needed to replace a backup hard drive that was having problems. USB 3.0 much faster for backing up large files. Much smaller in size, and does not require a separate power supply. Very happy with product.
