Back up for Photographs
||Posted .I bought this to use as a backup for my photography business. Everything transferred quickly and I only plug it in every few weeks to update. Works well as a data storage.

Relatively Large & inexpensive; USB 3.0 only.
||Posted .Pro: A simple external backup drive with more room than MANY users are likely to need (4 TB). Preference items: Uses a horizontal format: stable, but takes up more desk surface than a vertical format. (This one sits next to CPU Tower - Off Floor, but not on desk top.) Lacks the "% Full" LEDS our 2 TB unit, but that always seemed more gimmick than useful. Potential Con: USB 3.0 interface only. Backwards compatible to USB 2 of course, but a) not as fast as 3.1 (assuming your system has one!); and b) a Firewire port might be nice if your system has one of those & is short on USB ports. Disappointing (more-or-less - as this was expected): Don't care for the included Seagate BU Software. YMMV, & 3rd Party programs are readily available at prices ranging from Free to $$$. Still, had slight hope for improvement.

Very good hard drive with lots of storage
||Posted .In general I'm a novice at computing but I bought this wanting another storage option for all my music, photos and movie files. After plugging this into my computer and installing the appropriate software I easily partitioned this drive into 3 separate drives, 2 of them being a single terabyte which music goes on one, photos the other. The 3rd partition which is the remainder of the available drive space will be for movies. Everything went smooth and so far I'm having no problems transferring files. Very pleased with this drive.

good backup drive, USB 3.0
||Posted .This is a good backup drive and is USB 3.0 which makes it much faster when used on a USB 3.0 port on a PC, laptop or server (it is backward compatible to USB 2.0 also). The USB 3.0 cord that came with it is pretty short (I think it is about 3 feet), which is fine for a laptop, but it may not reach for a desktop or server. I had a longer one that i used instead to give me the length that I needed. This one has an external power supply that could be a plus or minus depending on your needs. I wanted this because I knew the USB 3.0 port that I was going to use was not powered and required external power. I did not use the included software, so I can't comment on that.

Great Desktop Drive
||Posted .Being a photographer means having a great need for storage space for all my photos. This drive is perfect for my needs. I drop all of my 18mb photo files on this drive then have it backup to the cloud at the same time. The speed is good and thus far I have had zero issues. Greatly appreciate this drive for making my life easier and giving me a peace of mind knowing my files are safe and not stored on my PC.

Plenty of Storage - with a minor caveat
||Posted .The hard drive was quick to set up and has plenty of storage especially for the price. The only drawback is that when it's on there are times when it vibrates slightly; enough to feel a slight rumble while using my mouse. It's definitely not a deal breaker, but I often have my phone on my desk and it often feels like I'm getting a notification on my phone, but really it's the hard drive vibrating slightly.

Does the job
||Posted .I’ve had this HDD for 3 years so far and no issues. Needs a power supply, but that’s to be expected for a large backup drive like this. Got on sale and would buy again.

Easy to use seem durable
||Posted .Bought to use with my Xbox One X and am currently using it on the original Xbox One. Just plug it in and go to hard drives and format it and it may be easier than that I can't remember if the console prompted me to format it or not, takes seconds. I have one just like it I have been using for years on the old Xbox and another one on a computer and both seem to be going strong.
