    Still waiting for ssds to become more affordable but this Seagate is a great hdd. No issues I've been transferring data from multiple laptops. Super fast and easy to use. I like the texture on it as well.

    Excellent product! I've had it for about a month now, and no problems yet. Only downside is it just comes with a USB-A to Micro B cable, so no USB-C compatibility unless you have another cable...

    I have several Seagate external hard drives

    I chose this portable external hard drive instead of a desktop one. I have a 5TB desktop, and it has worked good for as long as I've had it. But sometimes it lags, and I wanted a portable one that doesn't need a power source. I have other 2TB portable Seagate drives that work well. This one is a little more bulky, not as thin as the 2TB, so I plan to keep it on my desktop. It is an additional backup source. I have several external backup drives in case one is defective. It's extra time to back up more than once, but well worth it for the peace of mind.

    I'm using this on my Mac Pro. It works ok, but then it will randomly disappear from my desktop. I therefore need to run disk first aid to get it back to mount. If it keeps working sporadically like this, I'll probably return it.

    I have used Seagate portable external hard drives for years. They are sturdy, dependable and hold a lot of videos. I only wish this size (5TB) came in red!
