Great hard drive. Super slim. So far no problems and has plenty of space for storing basic documents. Would recommend if you need something you can slip in your bag.

I've had this drive for a while now and it's proven to be a good unit to store my mp4 video files on. The only thing I've noticed that caught my attention was that it doesn't like to be moved if you are transfering files to the drive.. My baby slid it a bit while I was transfering some files from my laptop and the drive terminated the transfer. Then I had to disconnect the drive from my laptop and reconnect it again to complete the file transfer. Other than that one thing, it's been a good drive. Others may do the same thing as well but I haven't run into that yet.

I've purchased this to back up several files on my computer. It was very easy to install and worked without any problems. I decided not to use the included software as I've had issues in the past where it showed it was backing documents up when it wasn't. (This was on earlier versions, not sure if the software had been changed, I didn't want to take a chance) I now manually drag and drop onto the drive and it works perfectly.

After buying this external drive I see it was affordable and a good investment. I plan to get another one, definitely want the same brand, with more space to back up my MAC Book Pro. I like the style and sleekness of the drive and it doesn't take up a lot of space on my desk.

Best external hard drive

This Seagate hard drive is amazing! I have a Macbook pro with retina so i only have 128 gb of storage on it, which isn't nearly enough since i download a lot of games, software, and movies. I got this external hard drive because i wanted something small and something easy to use. The installation took about 2 or 3 minutes and after that i began transferring data, it took about 60 seconds to transfer 11 gb of data. Aside from the incredible speed, this drive just looks great and it feels expensive when holding it. Overall a great product, I'd recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this product because I wanted to re-image my computer. Everything worked perfectly. I was able to save my files and get them back on my Hard drive--after cleaning the computer--without a hitch.
Safe, affordable and efficient product. I am very, very happy with this product.

A:AnswerIt will tell you on the package, if you see voltage or power requirements as Max. voltage, 5.00±0.25 V (pre-3.0); 5.00+0.25-0.55 V (USB 3.0). Max. current, 500–900 mA (general); 5 A (charging devices) then it is USB powered and will be run when you pug it in the computer. Anything larger typically comes with an external power supply.
A:AnswerIt should! You can use the PS3's data backup utility to copy your saved game files, movies, and music to an external USB storage device. Step-by-step instructions can be found in your PS3's owner's guide or in the following article on Sony's official PlayStation support site:

A:AnswerUnder "my computer", you will see the drive as a new drive letter. Just copy the file(s) from the source to that drive letter just like you would a regular drive on your computer. Some backup programs will check the source and just copy the newer files to the external drive.
