Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great hard drive. Super slim. So far no problems and has plenty of space for storing basic documents. Would recommend if you need something you can slip in your bag.

I've had this drive for a while now and it's proven to be a good unit to store my mp4 video files on. The only thing I've noticed that caught my attention was that it doesn't like to be moved if you are transfering files to the drive.. My baby slid it a bit while I was transfering some files from my laptop and the drive terminated the transfer. Then I had to disconnect the drive from my laptop and reconnect it again to complete the file transfer. Other than that one thing, it's been a good drive. Others may do the same thing as well but I haven't run into that yet.

Geat little advice .. Easy to use best of all small enough where you can fit it in a pocket .. Very thin .. And easy to use comes with it's own cord.. Worked well with my PC.. Are Mac . Plug and play. Does what it's meant to do store information ..and pictures and any other things you want to backup and save.. I buy it again if need be..

I've purchased this to back up several files on my computer. It was very easy to install and worked without any problems. I decided not to use the included software as I've had issues in the past where it showed it was backing documents up when it wasn't. (This was on earlier versions, not sure if the software had been changed, I didn't want to take a chance) I now manually drag and drop onto the drive and it works perfectly.

After buying this external drive I see it was affordable and a good investment. I plan to get another one, definitely want the same brand, with more space to back up my MAC Book Pro. I like the style and sleekness of the drive and it doesn't take up a lot of space on my desk.

This Seagate hard drive is amazing! I have a Macbook pro with retina so i only have 128 gb of storage on it, which isn't nearly enough since i download a lot of games, software, and movies. I got this external hard drive because i wanted something small and something easy to use. The installation took about 2 or 3 minutes and after that i began transferring data, it took about 60 seconds to transfer 11 gb of data. Aside from the incredible speed, this drive just looks great and it feels expensive when holding it. Overall a great product, I'd recommend it to anyone.

This item is very slim, portable and a great price.

I purchased this product because I wanted to re-image my computer. Everything worked perfectly. I was able to save my files and get them back on my Hard drive--after cleaning the computer--without a hitch. Safe, affordable and efficient product. I am very, very happy with this product.

i got this to back up my ps4's data so i can change out the hard drive. it worked perfectly. i just wish i changed the hard drive when i first bought the system so i wouldnt have gone through hassel of backing it up. whole process took me about almost 3hrs.

This is my third Seagate portable drive, so I am obviously a fan. The drives are simple to use and light, small and portable, yet with an impressive capacity. Worthwhile purchase for backup and archived storage.

It was really easy to use and transfer my info and pictures and videos to this external hard drive. I am very happy I went with the larger capacity and not the smaller one. I really like it.

This hard drive is great for a Mac or PC. For Mac use, on a PC format the drive as exFat. Allows both Mac and PC to write/read without issues. Slim design for portability. The only downside is if you do not have the new connector cable. It comes with 1 that is kind of short and not many people have these kinds of cables yet so you would likely need at least 2. One for travel and one to keep in the office/home.

Purchased for my daughter to use at college. Lots of storage, easy to use, comes in very handy. Earned a lot of 'great dad' points for this purchase

This Seagate portable hard drive is hard to beat. Its slim feature allows for great portability. Holds a lot of data.

Us for backup drive. Nice and small and compact. Drive works fine but were not able to get Seagate backup software to work had to use Norton for backup.

Easy to use. It has a compact design and it easy to transport. It Allowed me to transfer my files from a PC to to my Mac

Easy to install and use. We use this to backup a small business server with 25 user. Extremely affordable.

Awesome that it works for PC and Mac, ease of use, great way to back up music and photos

Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 500GB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black. Absolutely excellent. Being only 9.5 mm thick fits into any laptop (of course after you take it out of the case) Perfect size and speed up to 60MB/s(wt). Works very well with various software. I haven't had any problems to date. I would recommend this drive to others as I already have done so. Great for pics and video storage on the go as well as for those files you just can't be without.

The product does not have any major defects with the use and storage capacity. Easy to use and functional.
