This drive is fast and dependable. The only thing I would improve on is to put little rubber tabs on it so it doesn't slide around. Other than that, it's a great drive.

So far I will give it 4 stars. I got it to store backups on a Linux box. Had to reformat it, but that is expected. It is operating according to spec. It was a lower priced drive.

If you’re looking for a compact reliable back up drive , Seagate can manage all your files and come in different storage sizes. Mine is 1T which is more than I’ll ever need but the price point was spot on. I choose external drives along with Time Machine in the event one fails I will always have a back up.

The Seagate 2TB Expansion Drive is one of those rare tech accessories that quietly becomes essential the moment you start using it. It’s lightweight, slim, and fits perfectly into any setup — whether you’re a student, a content creator, or someone just trying to clear space on their laptop.

The build feels sturdy yet portable — slim enough to slide into a backpack pocket, but durable enough to handle travel or daily use.
In short:
✅ Plug-and-play — no setup needed
✅ Massive 2TB storage in a compact design

I needed another external drive for my laptop and I got this on a good deal! 2TB is a great storage amount and Seagate always delivers on quality in my opinion! No issues and it's very helpful for backing up files when transferring to a new computer/OS.
Plus, I also like how lightweight and quaint it is! It can easily fit anywhere and the USB cable is sturdy too.

My laptop was on its last legs, and was severely underperforming compared to how it’s run for the last several years. I bought this as a last ditch attempt to try and keep my laptop going until Black Friday sales. It has run significantly smoother since purchasing this and should certainly make it to Black Friday where I’ll buy a PC and still use this external hard drive!
