Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the ample storage, ease of use, and compatibility of the Expansion 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive. Many appreciate its compact size and affordable price, finding it lightweight and easy to transport. Positive feedback also mentions reliable performance. A minor drawback cited by some users is the short length of the included USB cable.

    This is my first time using an external hard drive, but it’s so easy to use and saves me from using so much of my laptop storage.

    I purchased this external hard drive to download my macbook settings/files before selling it to upgrade to a newer macbook. NOTE: YOU WILL HAVE TO PROGRAM THIS HARD DRIVE TO MAKE FILES READABLE FROM MAC to PC. I learned this the hard way! Besides that, incredible storage and value!

    I trust Seagate for critical backups of my systems. I found this unit to be fast and reliable. Also, it is cost competitive with a multi year warranty.

    Served me well over the past year. I’ve kept it clean and away from dust. It is honestly just as good as any of the drives more expensive than it. The load times of this hard drive compared to $60 doesn’t differ too greatly, and if I had to say it is perfect for whatever the use is at a lower cost. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to add storage to a game console or pc. Even for work it will serve you well!
