    Space for Years

    I remember when 1-2 TB externals initially emerged, they were extremely expensive and bulky. Now that we can get drives into smaller cases, 2 TB (which is still a ton) can practically hide in a small space like this one can. I might buy 8-10 more.

    Good value for the money. It works with both Mac & PC - interchangeable. Easy to use BUT it came with instructions in about 10 languages yet none of them English. Just said to go to the website where I found PDF instructions which was a waste of time since they had them included in other languages.

    Works flawlessly and hooks up easily. I needed it after updating my 10-year-old Apple Mac Book Air (at the same time, I updated my Iphone 8 to an Iphone 15, so my learning curve has been pretty steep!)

    I purchased another one of these a couple of years ago, but needed to be able to back up my computer without deleting any of the files currently on the older version. This works well and I was glad it came with a cord adapter so it can work with either of my computers.

    As happy as I am with my Hard Drive, I was disappointed to discover, after plugging it into my computer, that it was not configured for a MAC. I made it a point to ask the clerk if it was compatible with a MAC and was told that yes, it worked with a MAC but did not mention that I had reconfigure it before it would actually work with my computer. I lost precious time fixing the problem that could have easily been avoided.

    Bought this as i have my regular laptop and a traveling laptop. Hated that i needed to copy files back and forth. This allows me to connect the drive to either computer and carry all my files wherever i go.

    Bought this to have a second back up data storage after losing our old faithful Seagate backup drive decided to dive and hit the hard surface of the floor. Had a reputable Data Recovery service finally recovered 99.1% of the data from the damaged Seagate. Now I have two similar new Data backup drive to maintain for all the files from our phones and several laptops.
