    Don't buy for Xbox 360

    I was originally looking for a hard drive for my xbox 360. They were out, but they said the computer sticks and hard drives would work. I bought this one because it had 500GB and thought that was a ton of storage. Wrong.... Xbox only allows you to use 32GB of the hard drive. I wish the sales person I was working with would have advised me of this. I would have waited for the Xbox branded one to come in.

    Good external hard drive, its slim and easy to use. Has plenty of gigabytes for storage. Great little device to store all your important information, pics and music so you don't lose it all if your computer crashes or stops working.

    This is the first external hard drive that I have purchased, and I am happy to say that I could not have chosen a better product. The set up for the device is simple, all you do is plug it into your laptop. Not only that, but 500GB is incredible, you can certainly store years worth of material right there and not have to worry about losing a thing. Moreover, despite purchasing this product for my Dell laptop it certainly can be used for a Mac as well, the next laptop I intend to buy. Overall, the ease of use, the extensive memory, and the portability make it an incredible product that I strongly encourage you buy!

    I have bought Seagate products for a long time. Their quality and customer support is great. They are easy to use and compatible with all OS platforms. The built-in software is good also.

    I bought this hard drive to use with my wii u as it's hard drive is small 32 gb. The unit needs a y cable to work ($2-$7 online) which must be bought seperately online. Works well as a backup hard drive for your computer when not being used for the wii u.

    Easy to use, My mother needed to back up her laptop and it was just plug in and go. Set up with the interface was a little complicated for her but reading the manual was a must . Good product overall.

    Purchased for an on-the-go backup solution for a MacPro laptop user. Small size helps with the weight/portability issues that clients care about. Reformatting it for Time Machine use is a snap.

    It was pretty easy downloading everything off my old computer. My last external hard drive (western digital) was a nightmare to use. Haven't uploaded everything yet, but I don't think I'll have any problems.

    This was easy to set up and recently when I was travelling it was easier to bring it with me than to spend time looking for a few documents to put on a flash drive.
