The Seagate external drive is compact with a low profile design. It is virtually silent to the point that I usually double check to make sure it's powered on. Plugged into a USB 3 port in my desktop I noticed file transfer rates of up to 39 megabytes per second. I also tried it in a USB 2 port and the transfer speeds were only up to 8 megabytes per second even though USB 2 is rated at higher transfer speeds. It must be the way it read/writes to the older port. If you don't have a USB 3 port on your computer you're not going to be happy with this drive. While plugged into the USB 3 port I was able to copy 90 plus gigabytes very quickly. I received no read or write errors during the entire process and completely satisfied with the overall performance.

Although I haven't had this product in operation very long, It seems to be working very well, and backing up my info without a hiccup. I had a 1TB backup before, and this 4TB Storage/Hub is so much better and allows me greater storage of my large files and documents. I hope this product lasts as problem-free as my previous backup device did. Only time will tell, but I'm pretty confident that it will.
