Considering Circumstances Good Product
|Posted .I rate this product as a NOVICE scenario for the buyer and user. I do not know an extreme amount about this kind of item. I know I use them because I was told they would solve my problem of losing data from computer crashes and whatever else happens to cause you to have your computer stop working for you. This is the second type of Backup Hard Drive I have purchased in the last 3 years. The first, about 1 1/2 yrs ago, had a larger memory, It was a product that was very user friendly, for someone like myself, as it told me what to do when and why, and I was able to save my data and put it in folders and find the specific data I might need again, easily. This unit does not do that. It has a smaller memory than the first, but it is also more reasonably priced than the first. Best Buy carries the same one I bought last time but this time I did not have the funds to buy the same thing again, especially since the only reason I was buying another was because I could not find a (THE) cord for the unit. Buying another cord was as much as buying this unit - so obviously this was the smarter purchase. For me anyway. I am not knowledgeable enough to know if this is better because I can not find the data I put on it. It is there because there is memory missing, but it does not allow me to put, say, John here in this file and Susie here in that file and then leave the rest of the gang in a big folder until I can make smaller folders. (Or maybe it does but I have not figured that out yet.) I bought this because I was afraid my laptop was going to bite the dust and I wanted to put everything I could somewhere so that "someone" could find it to out it on the next one, should this happen to me. This unit has the data on it I hope. I did a back up twice thinking I would have 2 files that were each a "backup". It did not do that. it just (seems) to rewrite over the last save - the new data from the new save. Not sure that is good, but I must make myself be at peace knowing at least there is some of my data out there somewhere for me to get to - hopefully.

Great external HD! Windows/Mac
|Posted .I recently purchased a cheap HP from bestbuy to use as a HTPC, I bought this to add my movies, tv shows, and pictures to use on Kodi and/or windows media center. I still can't decide which one I like better. Since I'm not very savvy when it comes to Windows 10 or Windows anything I used my Mac to format this to work on either, mainly because I have another Seagate external I purchased years ago to use with MacBook Air, that one got added to iMac which has all my content on it so I basically copied everything to the new one to use on PC. They do make these for Mac only but I'm not sure why anyone would pay more for that since they can obviously be formatted for either. Simple set up, simple format, looks sleek! I velcroed mine to the side of the case. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to put music, photos, movies..etc on to keep their main hardrive clean.

Great Mobile External HD
|Posted .A resident of Arkansas who has personally experienced the catastrophic damage capability from severe thunderstorms and tornado, these portable hard drives were purchased to be used for off site work back ups. This seagate drive interfaces flawlessly with Window 7 Professional operating system. It is user friendly & the USB 3 speed allows me to work in Filemaker Pro and Microsoft office files on the drive without transferring to the computer.

Memory That Fits to a T !!!
|Posted .I can't remember the last time I had so much memory. The Seagate 1T is so full of memory that I decided to get a second one, because if my memory proves correctly, "If you you don't have it backed up in more that one place, it doesn't really exist".

Great external hard drive for the price.
|Posted .I needed an external hard drive to back up my Windows 7 before installing Windows 10. One TB was plenty of space, so I bought the Seagate Backup Plus for $39. I was impressed with the speed using USB 3.0. I was also pleased that they included a USB cable in the package. As Seagate is a well known and trusted brand, you can't go wrong buying this drive.

Solved our Problem!
|Posted .We are grandparents of young children. Our cell phones were filled with pictures and we couldn't take any more. We needed to empty the phones to free up space so we could capture more "precious memories" The Seagate was the perfect solution--easy to use and has lots of storage capacity!

Q: QuestionCan I delete old files off the drive, to make room for new file back ups, and how easy is it to do?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, it's a real hard drive like the one that's probably in your computer. You get another drive letter for it and it acts like a regular hard drive. You can delete, copy and move files just like on your original drive.

Q: QuestionPartition?I have 3 PCs - 2 desk top, 1 laptop. Can I partition the external drive to backup from each computer separately?
Asked by Anonymous.
