Especially with a new iMac. Online setup instructions are detailed enough for this portable — BTW, they gave some clues about setting up a competitor’s hard drive.

Great price, fast device on USB3. I put this on my Linksys WRT1900AC router as a shared local drive for storing videos and backing up my PC. Works well.

I’ve always had good luck with Seagate products. I wouldn’t call this drive robust, but it’s decent quality and performs well.

I purchase this drive to store photos and documents that were on an older PC that I was not using any more. It really fits the bill.

I’ve had many of these little Seagate portable drives. They are great because they are bus powered and do not need an additional power supply. Just plug in the USB cable and go. Plus this drive is extrememly fast with the USB 3 connector. Very fashionable, too. Much better performance than the previous iteration. Buy this one!

These drives are notorious for failing after a few months. Mine refuses to mount on any computer.

Small and easy to install. A good back up portable external hard drive

I saw this good price and purchased because it was bus powered. Copies very fast with no problems what so ever. Helped me tremendously transferring from old computer 2015 to new Super PC 2020 with out any problems. These drives would make great gifs of someone.

I had a hard time trying to format it for my mac, but it works pretty well! I thought it was a plug and play one, but it didn’t seem to work that way.
Garland Lynch (verified owner) –
great deal, works like it should
Spencer Hoppe (verified owner) –
It works as intended and is pretty fast when writing and reading from the drive. No complaints.

I have the 2TB and needed more capacity and the 5TB provides it. The 5TB seems to be two 2TB packaged together ( the height is twice that of the 2TB, otherwise same dimensions ). the 5TB seems to vibrate a little more than the 2TB — not an issue — just hope it does not affect the life of the unit)
Melisa Orn (verified owner) –
Compact and it works just as I expected it to work. A good choice for me.
Frederick Kuhn (verified owner) –
I bought this backing up the family’s Macs. I reformatted it to HFS+ and copied the drives using SuperDuper – no muss no fuss!
