I own a couple of these. I tried another well known brand and two of them failed on me relatively early in their lifespan. The ones I have run everyday for 8-10-12 hours and I’ve never had a Seagate fail. Pricing is on par with other manufacturers.

Works fine. Small size. Easy.

For iMac Time Machine backups. working fine so far.

Good performance for archive – not for A/V, just for backup.

I use the drive for backup purposes and to store a huge amount of backup data. The drive has everything you could want (tiny package, fast, giant storage capability, stylish and cool, USB3) and just about nothing that you don’t. Plus, the usual B&H benefits like a price you cannot beat, free shipping. How can you not pick up a few of them. I did!

Only had this for a little while but its a good grip and effective device for all my backup needs.

Great backup.

I bought this to replace my old 2TB backup drive. It’s built like a tank, works perfectly and was very reasonably priced.

Ok, it’s a portable hard drive… it works. But why talk-up the new colors, etc., and then ship a cheap plastic cased product? Seriously, it was a gift to my wife… she asked me to take the cheap white plastic off. She thought it was a little box. I had to tell her THAT is the case built onto the drive. It sits in a drawer now.

Having used multi-system generic backups like TRANSCEND, this product is wired into MS/Win-10, it appears. The Toolbox helper app is OK for full and unguided backups — but forget incremental where only new files in any folder are updated. Can’t do what good ol ZIP does in with ‘-u’! (At least I couldn’t find a update newer files in a selected folder option.) And not recognized by our Ubuntu systems. We’re a multi-OS company, using Win10 when forced, Ubuntu and CentOS for production-development. At least can use as a drive in Explorer and manually copy files — but very tedious with helper app. In hindsight, we should install an NAS and resurrect some scripts.

As expected and as per specs.. It came in a timely manner and well packaged.. Best deal out of all online stores and local stores..

I received the product very well and it worked very well.

B&H gave me good sales support to help me compare and understand how the drive would work. I plugged it in and it immediately backed up my C drive. After a few days I had a few questions about functions and ways to set the drive up. I like the scheduled backup feature. I got quick telephone help from Seagate. So the drive is all set up to function the way I want it to.

I have a lot of video files and this External Hard Drive works to perfection every time. I may have to purchase another one real soon, B&H. So get ready.

We bought two of these. Both worked perfectly with our Macs right out of the box, with Time Machine immediately recognizing them and quickly making full back ups. We could not be more pleased.
Darius Kutch (verified owner) –
It shipped fast! Its exactly as described and works great with my PC. Cute color, compact and quick!
Jennifer Ondricka (verified owner) –
Not only do I like the size and color but I love its complete silence. Plug it in and hide it behind your laptop lid and it disappears from view. It works well and surreptitiously. Its plenty fast enough to be used as a Mac Time Machine backup and anything else. And lets not forget that it is portable.

Awesome way to store your data

I purchased 9/20/17. Used it as a Time Machine backup drive (just like I’ve done with half a dozen other drives over the years). It lasted barely two months before it quit working. I tried it on two different Mac’s. Neither could recognize the drive. Disk Utility could not repair it. B&H customer service basically said “Tough luck, contact Seagate.” So I am in the process of trying to get it replaced, or get my money back…. BARELY TWO MONTHS USE!!!

I’ve been very happy with my drive. I took it out of the box, plugged it in and Time Machine started automatically. It’s been working great so far. It’s quiet and not distracting on my desktop as well. I recommend it.
