    Between Western Digital and Seagate, I don't find much difference in terms of quality. This hard drive happened to be on sale and it a nice compact size that works for the projects I use it for. Highly recommended.

    Was glad to see a well-reviewed external HD with a decent amount of storage at a price comparable with not-so-reliable drives elsewhere. The only caveat is that the plug-and-play claim for Macs is not exactly accurate, and the instructions are unclear. A quick google search found the easy solution, but just a heads-up. Once it was up and running, no problem.

    Perfect HD for my needs. Reformatted for Mac as I did not need the included backup software. Mounts quickly on the desktop and makes copying easy. Great for use as a TomeMachine backup.

    I needed a backup when my old PC tower decided to give up the ghost. Microsoft said that if I provided an external hard drive, they could retrieve the contents of my dead PC. Worked like a charm!

    I used this to add storage to my PS4, and it worked perfect. It was literally almost plug and play, and took no time at all to setup. Overall very pleased, and would recommend.
