    I have thousands of mp3's and some big music/picture files. This is an excellent storage device. It can also be a backup drive for my OS.

    It's used for work. It's great because it doesn't take up much space, and it's easy for others to use, such as those in the office who aren't very computer literate.

    It's a good product for storage. However, I thought it would automatically back up every time I updated my files if I kept it plug in to my computer.

    Using this as a backup to keep in a fire proof safe, so the compact size is great. To date no problems with this device.

    The portable disk drive is used for backup of a laptop. Installation was automatic and fast. The capacity is adequate for a long time.

    Self-powered through the USB. Has USB 3.0 so it can be very fast. Software on it not very useful, but I didn't need it so no big deal.

    The I like the Seagate Slim 500GB, it's truly smaller and lighter than the previous models. Very quiet, I like that it's USB 3.0 and backwards compatible.

    All is good with this product. But has seen that you should not remove the cable when the copy is in progress, otherwise it will corrupt the hard disk.
