Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 500gb External Usb 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black is still working strong.. love it

Highly recommend for the first time user, just plug it in and it does all the set up for you

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.

I dont like tro clutter my laptop with pictures, music, etc. This external hard drive is just what I needed to dump these files to.

Easy to use, user friendly, did exactly what I needed it to do. Would recommend to others.

I learned the hard way good ideal to get the hard drive back up so when your computer crashes you can at least save your information

This is a wonderfully item, you can store thousands of pictures on here and still have enough room for other things.

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.

nice affordable external hard drive, the techs did a great job backing up my files

I had no problem having the computer detect the portable drive. Easy to use and lots of storage space for what I was needing.

I needed a small hard drive to back up some of my files. This fit the bill perfectly.

Love this external hard drive, it's perfect, holds so much, back up everything once a month.

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.

I bought the device to store work files for travel and needed something small and portable plus easy to use....it fit the bill

The hard drive is a good low cost option for basic data storage. It is much cheaper than an 128 GB flash drive has has a lot more storage.
