    Unfortunately my old seagate drive went bad & was out of warranty. I made this purchase as a replacement but I shou have known better. No sooner did I get home to try it and it wasn't working. Returned it and purchased a WD (Western Digital). Needless to say no issues with that one.

    This product is terrible, really bad. I bought this external TB1 because I needed to clean my cell and my computer of important files and pictures, however, after a couple months the passport hard drive started acting up such as the blue light didn't show up, weird noise came from there and any computer recognized it. I contacted Seagate and they found it has malfunction device and in order to recovery I need to pay Starting $600 and they will send me another one with my files and pictures. It's too expensive for me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL

    Tried 2 computers and 2 USB ports on each computer. I can hear it spinning, but never shows up as a drive. It is recognized in device manager, but not disk management. Should be plug and play, instead it's DOA.

    I use a fair amount of external hard drives. This drive has had the slowest transfer rate of any of my drives ever on USB 2.0.

    Excellent product!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is nice and small and fits well in the limited space I have on my desk. It's a little slower than advertised, probably because I'm working with a USB 2.0 instead of a 3.0. Because you just plug it in (no formatting or drivers to install), and you can just drag and drop folders and files, it's quite easy to use. Works just like a flash drive. Great price for a lot of space!

    Great for the Price

    This is a great external HDD with easy transfer due to the USB. It's lightweight and durable, but I have not given it 5 stars because it advertised "Data transfer rates up to 4.8 Gbps," however, I transferred 106 GB of data from my computer to this hard drive and got a maximum of 103 Mbps which is far from 4.8 Gbps, but still really fast!

    Another Great Seagate Hard Drive

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have a Mobile DJ business and I use the Seagate Hard Drive for my music. I bought this one since it now eliminates the need to have to plug it in. For a busy DJ, it is one less plug. I will be buying one or two more very soon. I have had this one for over a year and it works great.
