    I have had a number of 3TB external drives. I was thinking of going with a 4TB. I was very happy to find a 5TB for a cheaper price than any of the 4TBs I looked at. I haven't used this long enough to speak to the long-term functionality, but this looks good and I love the size of this thing.

    I guess I waited to review this a while so I could share the reliability of the Seagate Drive. two (2) years later it works like a champ. That's what I bought it for, archiving and backing up my PC's and tablets, and laptop. Roomy enough so far, but today there are even bigger and cheaper/GB drives. So go with a name you trust since your data is irreplaceable.

    Solid affordable hard drive for backing up data

    After almost losing some data on a wonky drive that I didn't want to mount all the time, I decided to grab a few of these affordable Seagate drives to back up the data for the rare times I needed to access the files. Over a year later they're still holding up without any issues. When they went on sale again, I grabbed as many as I could. For the price, I'm really satisfied. I will say though, I don't use the drives everyday so they don't get heavy usage. I primarily use them as backup drives. I copy what I need over to them and put them on a shelf.
