The unit arrived quickly (I was not in a hurry and there's a pandemic but lo and behold it arrived quickly). The design is nice, sleek, and you get what you need. I have run it once and it does what it is supposed to do. This review covers my work with the unit in DEC 2020/JAN 2021. And I'm writing this on 2/13/21. There are 2 minor things I do not like about it. 1. You have to go online and download the software. It is minor but it's another step. Other units come with the software on the device, saving me a few precious minutes. No big deal, just letting you know what to expect. 2. On my Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop, which is about 7 years old, running Win 10.... always the latest..... the software windows do not fit my screen. So I cannot see the options to make the selection to "ok" or "Cancel". I know I can hit "enter" and that should work (and it did) to run the backup. But that's pretty annoying. The solution from Seagate was to uninstall and then re-install the software. I haven't done that yet. The irony is that you cannot resize the window yourself the way you can with "normal" software systems. You cannot highlight/click/drag the edges or corners. And my laptop is a touch screen and with other applications I can also resize the view by "pinching" the screen (or track pad) - this does not work on the Seagate software. Clearly the software engineers engineered that option right out of this product. Sigh. I'll keep it but when it comes time for the next backup external drive, I'll look to something else.

Loved this so much I keep buying them for all my family when I show them this! Its a master computer in a small and beautiful case that i now nicknamed as "my life" haha. From school, to a collection of photos made up of the last 10 + years, social media and marketing graphic artwork created for my job AND 6 years worth of business management materials saved from 3 computers - the amount of storage sometimes makes me feel like it's magic. Even if you don't need to store a lot, this is something that makes me feel better about not losing information. It can be used for automatic backups for mac computers like time machine etc. and for has great cases and additional wire hookups that make this product easy to use and store.
