    It is compact, it updates new files, and who needs more than a TB, unless it is a large business. Great product which has updated with time.

    Just plug it in and you're all set. Compatible with Mac but needs reformatting, which is still rather simple. No issues with mine to date.

    It is certainly portable and USB 3.0 fast but.....TSA denied this as my official Passport documentation. Missed my flight to the D.R. because of it. Heard some places down there are not quite 'Cosmopolitan' as you would think, so not a complete loss I suppose. Buyer Beware.

    Windows 10 Back-up

    I had a 1 TB back-up hard drive but when I did the Windows upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 I could not use it. Windows 10 said it was incompatible. And of course Seagate had no fix and did not care. They got your money and that is all they cared about. I went to Best Buy because the sales personnel will give you the best advice their technical ability will give you. I asked for a portable hard drive that would back-up Windows 10 data. I was given advice on a couple of hard drives and I picked the Passport Ultra. It works great!!!!!!
