    My husband love that he is able to put all our movies on this drive instead of taking up space for DVD's. We can also take it with us on vacation and use anywhere there is a USB port. Very good.

    I have three other external hard drives, aptly named "Book" for their size, so this one is greatly welcomed. As usual the product is easy to navigate and use. I am very pleased with this new one.

    I had a My Passport backup drive that was VERY simple to use and I loved. I plugged it in the USB drive, a box came up asking me if I wanted to run the backup, I said yes, there was a status bar and I knew it was working. Even an idiot could use it. So, I replaced it with this model. Now, the newer model is more complex. It refused to load on my computer. I needed a professional to install it and then the backup software was not simple as it was before. They want to you set up a schedule. There is no option to just back up the machine right now. I finally told them to rip it off my machine and I just use it as an external drive and it is just fine for that. But as a one touch backup drive it was useless. I hated the Seagate one touch back up drive but it did install the minute I plugged it in, unlike this one.

    Why pay $50-$100 more for 500GB if memory when you can get this bad boy and never worry about games taking up all your space. Compact and sleek. Fits perfect on top of Xbox and very discreet.

    My sister showed me this product. The price was very affordable for the amount of space this has. It is also very small and compact to be able to fit in any bag for me to bring it with me!

    I purchased this to upgrade my six year old external storage drive and couldn't be happier. This drive has more capacity, is smaller in physical size and is faster than my previous one.

    3T size is nice. Very easy to install but I would like a longer USB cord. It's a little short and limits where you can place this drive.

    I needed an external HD to store digital copies of several TV series, and this product is great. Fast, easy to use, and small so it doesn't take up much space at all. Highly recommend.

    Easy to Connect and to use with lots of storage. My older model had to be plugged in to the wall. This does not require that it simply plugs into the computer and you are ready to go.

    The 3TB drive is great - incredible storage for the size. That said, the color is more of a light raspberry than a deep cranberry...

    I needed an upgrade for my failing Seagate external drive. I needed something more reliable than what I already had. I am not disappointed with the decision to pick up this external drive. It feels solid and well made. Cable is nice and thick, though it's not very long so if you need to have it further away from your usb port, you'll need a longer cable or an extension. This wasn't a problem for me. I didn't use the tools that came with the drive. I wiped it clean and started transferring content over. I use this for my photography for stuff I'm actively working on. It performs well. Works well enough that I bought one for the wife.
