I was looking for a USB Portable Drive with enough storage space to back up my iPad Air 2, my Laptops 2 HD's, Smartphone, and my Desktops 3 HD's. Well this Seagate lets me plug it into my Linksys WRT1900ACS Router and forget about it. I can back up from any Mobile or Stationary Device, Mac or PC, connected to my Wi-Fi system, using the Seagate Dashboard. This little drive works flawlessly, and, has a ton of space. What's also COOL, is I can unplug it and take it with me at any time I want. NO EXTRA POWER CORD NEEDED. It runs off the 5 volts through the USB cable. I like this little drive because it fits in my shirt pocket. The only thing I can nit pick is, the ON LED light doesn't blink during data transfer like my Toshiba does, but again, no one makes a 4 TB Totally Portable USB Drive except Seagate right now. Being involved with programs in ATM Machines for 30 years and computers for over 40 years I have never had a Seagate HD I did not like. I recommend this little drive, if you are looking for a TON of space, and is TOTALLY PORTABLE. And remember Seagate has been in the Hard Drive Storage Devices Business FOREVER !

This drive is perfect for me to take to and from work. Small physical size with large 4TB capcity is perfect to carry in your briefcase. Fast enough USB 3 performance. Good for larger file sizes. NOTE: This is the drive to buy if you own Mac but use Parallels for PC files - Seagate has a great driver that allows you use the drive for both operating systems which is nice so you don't have to format the drive for format Mac OS Extended Journaled. It would be nice if it had a longer USB 3 cable, otherwise I would give it 5 stars. I believe it is 12" - 16" long so you need to put it very close to your computer. I'm not sure about reliability or durability as time will be the only guide to that part of the ownership experience. I would recommend this product to a friend!

Love the convenience of the super slim external drive by Seagate. All of this memory in such a small device!
