    Bought two other external drives one for me and one for the wife however had to aquire the wifes so bought this one to replace hers. Simple easy to install, data transfer is super fast, another great product from Seagate. The textured skin does make this a little more flashy so something for both techies and fashion heads.

    I use this for only game console HDD game storage. It works great and speed seems fine for small external without need of power supply. Just plug and play. Can't give details of use on computer, since only used for game consoles.

    I've always had good luck with Seagate. Bought a few others, but most turn into a brick shortly after purchasing. I just lost an external I've had for about 9 years. *sigh* So am getting a replacement. It's here and running great!

    Great external backup memory for your desktop/laptop computer. Its an easy to install and reliable way to backup your precious files and programs periodically before that eventual hard drive failure catches you unprepared. Everyone should have one.
