Built with a compact form factor and ready for on-the-go usage, the 2TB Expansion Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive from Seagate is preformatted exFAT, meaning it is compatible with Windows and Mac right out of the box. This hard drive provides a storage capacity of up to 2TB and connects to your host system using its micro-USB 3.0 interface, which also provides bus power using an included USB 3.0 cable, meaning that no external power is required. Copy and saving data is easy – simply drag and drop. Also included is Seagate’s Rescue Data Recovery Services.
Please note that reformatting may be required for use with Apple’s Time Machine. Also, Rescue Data Recovery Services is not available in all countries.

This drive does exactly what I need it to do. It isn’t super fast, but I knew that going in. It’s a lot of storage for a low price which hit the nail on the head for what I needed.

I got it for Time Machine backup. Reformatting for the MAC was straight forward and it has been working as expected ever since.

I needed enough storage space for a DCP file, without the extra expense of a 2TB drive….which I have a few of already.

The product was right on the money. It was lost by UPS. B&H sent the replacement ASAP.

Love this drive! Small, fast with a lot of storage and no power supply necessary. It’s about the same foot print as an iphone and about twice as thick.

I had my Seagate attached to my ThinkPad. The power was interrupted at the house while I was copying megabits of information. Thank goodness the Seagate external drive power supply came from the ThinkPad through a USB port, which seamless switches over to battery when the power goes out. Strong consideration when considering which external drive to buy.

A perfect addition to my new desktop computer which only has solid state storage. This device gives me the storage that I need while not overburdening the speed of my device.

Nice fast drive. Easy to set up. I partitioned to use one partition for my backups and another for regular storage.

I already have a 2TB Seagate drive for about 10 years now and I always thought it was pretty small, then I got this one and its about a fifth of that, about the same size as a pack of cigarettes. Set-up could not be easier, one just plugs it in and in about 10 seconds its ready to go/use! One can just drag and drop, or copy, or move files onto it and it does it without any complaining! I love this little thing/drive!

Effortless and quick setup on 2010 MacBook Pro with USB 2.0; light and unobtrusive, a remarkable leap forward from the heavy, powered LaCies that this drive replaces. What a difference nine years makes in the world of digital technology!

I wanted to get an extra large portable hard drive to use as long term storage of a large quantities of images. This seems to suit the need correctly.

I am an avid photographer and needed more storage space for my digital images to avoid using space on my laptop. I had purchased one of these Seagate drives for my daughter a year ago and she has been using it almost daily without any problems. It is convenient for taking files with you when you need more than a flash drive and don’t want to carry your laptop.

I bought the product to transfer files from a Win XP computer to a Win 10 computer. I plugged this drive in & it set up itself .The transfer went without a hitch and didn’t have to reformat. The process was quick & easy. It is now my back-up.

I bought this as an off-site Time Machine backup for our four MacBooks. It is very compact and works well as a small backup that fits in our fire safe. The performance is great.

I use drives like this to store video files of customers Scanned 8/16mm movies, video tapes, and photos, etc. They are price effective and accomplish the job. So far I have not experienced any problems.
