Wow! 5TB is so much space; I’m not sure why I bought two, then I realized they came with a two month trial of adobe Creative Cloud & I was sure I made the right move. One for professional use & one for my passion projects. Sometimes my laptop doesn’t recognize the device right away, but that might be on my laptop. Anyway, good stuff. (Please note I added the label myself.)

I bought the 5000 version twice, first on sale to extend my storage on my PC. I was so happy I wished I had done the 10000/15000 at the time but it works very well for now and likely for the next few years—I have a lot more games and spend a lot less time thinking about what games I want to keep on my PC at the moment vs what games I’d like to have in general. I liked it so much and saw it would be compatible with my PS4 so I bought another one. It’s great for the same reasons, I suggest my friends purchase this if they dont already have an extended hard drive & if they can afford it—but now it’s even more affordable than when I bought it (both times)!

This is a very good product to store all of your files or memories that you do not wish to lose. It is small and easy to carry in your pocket if you want to take it with you anywhere. Seagate is a very good brand i wouldn't trust and others and 5 TB is a lot of storage for a small device. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it for that price!!

highly recommend this portable hard drive! It loads and moves data extremely well—much faster than the hard drive installed on my laptop. This is a must-have that’s also very affordable. With its speed, storage space, and great price, it’s the best buy out there!

I haven't had it long, but so far it has been working well. I use it to hold my VODs from past streams (I have a lot) and there have been no issues.

Needed a larger external storage capacity to help back up PC files, and was very happy to find this one in store. Hoping this lasts for a long time. So far so good!

I needed a second backup with a lot of storage. The Seagate is wonderful for the job. It works on my iMac and with Time Machine, I was able to back up my original iMac and then transfer everything to my new iMac with ease. Quick and Painless. Good product.
