The hard drive itself is great. The download and upload times are blazing fast. Had 6 devices watching movies at the same time and it never hesitated. The only thing i dont like is the hard drive only has a usb and a power button. Half the time you cant get it to turn on or power down you have to just wait it out.

Excellent product. Easy to use. Lots of storage space. One down side is that I cannot connect to the Internet through the device if the connection requires a username.

I bought this Seagate - Wireless Plus 2TB Portable Hard Drive to backup my home computer, and use while i am on the road with my laptop. Yes, I could use the cloud and do have access to one, but I prefer the attached local drive that I could hold! and this device serves its purpose, easy to setup, wireless when necessary, and fast.

Good 2Tb drive but wifi interface is poor for Mac

Not many choices for a wifi connected portable HDD for Mac, but this wifi interface NTFS btw is cluttered with procedural steps from setting it up to retrieving files. The interface to retrieve files loaded from a Mac takes trial and error, streaming short video to an iPad has frequent dropped signals, even 15ft from the plugged-in drive. I opted to reformat out of NTFS/master boot to guid and OS extended (journaled) with great non-wifi success.

first of all nix the 10hr use. it's like saying you car can get a weeks of use on a tank of gas... sure, as long as you're not using it. you can get 10hrs ONLY if you use the seagate app and allow for download and play so the drive can "rest" while you watch. remote caching helps when you use a third part player, but you'll be luck to pull 5hrs of streaming. direct streaming using smb or dlna are just as bad at around 4hours of direct streaming (not using seagate's app).
so real use is far under the estimated time since it's at standby it's not doing anying. using it drains it rather quickly.
i'm about to request a second RMA right now. first had issues where the drive started to not connect via usb 3, but usb 2 was fine (using a microusb cable). then the battery started acting up and change from 20 to full in 5 minutes. i reset/reformatted everything and no change.
the replacement came quickly, but it's having a problem too. it's always after a full charge i get the "flashing green light of death." it's not really dead (yet) it just won't shut off. you hear the drive spin then fail constantly... while it's supposed to be off. plugging a usb3 cable in a computer and it says unrecognized device. putting it on a microusb 2 cable and it starts acting as it should again. it's a easy fix for now, but a sign of bad things to come.
if they advertized 5hrs of use, i'd be happy. if i didn't have to do two rma's at my cost for shipping, i'd be happy. but as it stands i'll stay away from seagate when purchasing drives for work and home... i should have remembered the deathstar.
