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.

Needed something with a ton of space to back up several computer hard drives. Was the perfect item; writes fast. ITs compact and light weight and easy to bring from computer to computer. A great bargain.

I purchased this drive as a bulk backup for a lot of photos and audio files. It isn’t the fastest, but I’m used to the high performance SSD drives. This does the job it was intended.

I’ve always relied on Seagate for portable storage. I just wished it had rubber feet to prevent sliding around my desk.

Large photo files take up a lot of memory! I ordered this drive to get more room. I ordered it specifically because it advertised that it works for Apple or Microsoft which suggested to me that it works for Linux (the operating system or OS that I prefer). Well it works just fine. I wish more companies would be brave enough to better accommodate Linux users like me and brag about it when they do.

I bought it to be used on my Seagate media player; at first it wouldn’t work but after some Googling, found out I need to reformat the HDD using MBR table and NTFS format. Apparently those disks now factory-shipped with GPT partition scheme. After re-format, disk worked fine without requiring external powered USB hub.

Slightly thicker than its 2 TB cousin. Seagate performance in an extremely portable size. Wouldn’t purchase any other brand.

Enjoying my 5TB hard drive!!! I also noticed alot of freezing with my games, not sure if the 5TB is the reason for the freeze tho.

I am a wedding/commercial videographer and love these guys for easy backups. Easy plug and go, and does what it says. Very reliable hard drive. I have so many of them, I feel its so silly to get rid of my footage when I can keep multiple projects on these reasonably priced drives.

these are cheap drives so you should test them immediately after you buy them. I left mine on the shelf till i needed it and then it was too late to return it when I realized it was defective.

The drive works absolutely great. It’s small, fast and quiet. Fits in my old protective cases and has great design. If you need 2tb portable and reliable drive, get this one!

Simply plug in the USB port of a computer and the computer system will recognize it automatically. It is very user friendly.

Using this as a backup drive; it works fine. Speed is unexceptional but that’s not a problem for a backup drive.
