    Just what I needed. A good amount of storage for a reasonable price, and it's USB powered so it doesn't take up valuable space in my power strip. Formatting for Mac was super easy, and I never have to worry about running out of space for backups.

    I did a lot of research to try to find the best external hard drive for the money, and I came across this one during a sale. I quickly grabbed this one, and I can say that it does what it’s supposed to do. I can’t complain at all. I’m using this for my Xbox One X.

    I bought this to replace my 2tb external drive that was getting kinda full. Caught his on sale for less than I paid for the 2tb a few years back. Quiet and dependable. I should have bought 2 of them.

    I mainly bought this for my PS5 for extra storage for my games. I wanted enough space to hold most of stuff and more games if I bought any. Definitely worth the price for it. I was able to download all my games and than some with the updates and still have like 4.5gb left.

    Solid drive case--- not SSD, but still fast enough to copy data as needed. Use these smaller compact drives versus my bigger bulky drives for my data now... this is easier to take with and only requires a USB cable versus a power adapter.

    These back up hard drives are great to have. Bought this one for my daughter so she can have her own back up stuff. Thanks to the rewards. Only bad thing is they Best Buy makes you use the rewards that has an expiration date.

    Had purchased a different seagate brand previously from a different store. Had to return it. Connection was universally compatible or not easy to set up. Came back and purchased WD a trusted brand I have used for a long time now and this was easy plug and use.

    With a growing media library this was the perfect external HDD to buy. Would recommend getting a pic express USB c card and cables to max out transfer speeds.

    This hard drive is working fabulous for me. Every USB 3.0 device I tried on Ubuntu 18.04 MATE 64bit linux on my Acer Chromebook c720p and other laptops did not work at 3.0 speeds..infact slower than USB 2.0 So far I am loving it because I can FINALLY back up stuff for real.....quickly Too!
