Great External Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great external drive for my needs. Fits in the pocket easily, 2 TB storage, came with cord. Could be a little sturdier, but I'm not planning on traveling with it. Great option for the price. Plus, mine was preloaded for Macs.

No problems with Seagate portable drives yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a MAC user. This is my 3rd USB-3 portable 2TB hard drive purchased in 3yrs. All 3 read and write as fast as when I 1st purchase 2 of them 3yrs ago switching from the speedy Hitachi G 800 Firewire. I use to buy only Firewire HD's due to speed which cost a lot more and definately smaller in capacity compared to SG USB-2/3 HD's. With USB-3 SG HD's is just as dependable and fast. ThunderBolt, never used it and in my opinion is ridiculously over priced technology and too expensive for my pockets.

Great external and FAST!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with this external hard drive. It reads and writes at a great speed and has never given me any issues in accessing stored files. My only complaint is that its only MAC compatible and I recently switched to PC and now I can not use unless I reformat it, but then I loose 2 years worth of clients stored images, so had to buy a separate PC compatible external. Otherwise love of slim, small and portable this HD is!

Great for video backup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While shooting video for an out of town project I realized that my XA-10's 128 GB SD cards were going to run out of space before the final shoot AND the client suddenly wanted all the raw files. Time for an extra back up drive. The Seagate addressed all my issues quickly and at a great price. Backed up my files and gave them to the client on the Slim drive. Way cheaper than giving away 4 super fast SD cards! Client reviewed the raw video and later even gave me back the drive.

What experts are saying
Q: Questionis it compatible with Dish Networkwill be connecting to dish network to expand the dvr storage
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes. I have the Hopper without the Sling. It works perfectly. Plug in the power first and then plug in the USB. Your DVR should recognize the device, immediately. It will ask you a few formatting questions. Just click yes. Use the menu option on your remote and go to external hard drives. From here you can select to move data from your Hopper to your External Device. It will take you to your DVR's saved movies and shows. Just start transferring. You can transfer an entire season, but it may take a while. It may take hours, depending on your Internet connection. Don't worry. You can still watch TV while in the transfer process. I also have 3 Joeys. You can access your external hard drive from the other rooms without having to unplug anything. It was easy and it works. I would recommend this product.

Q: QuestionWhat does backward compatible with USB 2.0 for simple connection to your computer mean?
Asked by Raye.
- A:Answer Backward comparable with USB 2.0 means that even if your pc is older or does not have a USB 3.0 port this product will still work. The transfer will not be as fast but all the features will still function without any problems.
