    Took less than five seconds to format...in fact, it took longer to unpack it and plug everything in. We use it as an external drive for our WiiU and it performs perfectly. We haven't noticed any lag in loading our games from it, so we're very happy. It also takes up far less space than the WiiU so that helps keep the electronics eyesores to a minimum.

    I removed the drive from the cabinet to install in Drobo 5S. It is cheaper than buying a bare drive. Works perfectly in my Drobo.

    I have several Seagate external drives and none have failed. It just happened that this one couldn't be used with the device I connected it to as the device didn't recognize a 4TB drive.

    I have purchased several of these hard drives over the years. the 4 TB hard drives are the best and have the least problems. This particular model is one of the better ones I have owned. Larger capacity hard drives have problems much sooner so the best ones to buy are 4TB or less. This model is one of the better ones I have owned.

    I wanted to move files from one computer to another and I was able to do it easily with simply a drag and drop. I then unplugged it from my older computer and added the Seagate as an additional drive to my newer computer. It works perfectly. I would give it 5 stars but I don't think personally I'm able to give any product 5 stars.

    Didn't have any problems with this one. Sometimes I can hear the drives running, but it is not that loud. It never got any close to warm. Got attached to my new router and it works as my personal cloud. I used crystaldiskmark to get write and read speeds on a USB 3.0 port with a 1gb test size.

    This was what I needed for a price I was comfortable with... I needed some assistance from my tech support (aka my millennial niece) but once she showed me the way, the external hard drive was very easy to use.

    Been using this for a few months now for weekly transfers of 50+ gigs of photos and video. It plays nice with all 4 computers I've plugged it into, with quick transfer speeds. No complaints so far.
