Seems to work well. However, the real test is time.

The speed of this Seagate drive was fast and using it to backup all my photos and videos was very simple.

Works well, just bear in mind that it’s 4tb your travelling with worth of information. I bought this for my home backup, and use a 2tb or less for travelling

Well what can you say about a hard drive? It works, and it stores things adequately. 🙂 I have never had an issue with any of my Seagate drives. And I’ve had enough for one or two issues to be expected. But these just do what I need them to and they do it well. Guess that’s about all I can say about it.

We ordered the Seagate 1TB external hard drive at a fair price. It was delivered on time. In this application we disassembled the external hard drive and then inserted it into a laptop. It was easy, quick and worked perfectly saving our customer money.We’ll use B&H again,@

Sure this drive does its job and it looks nice. But there are two downsides: – The plastic case seems to big for what it holds inside. When you hold it you feel it gives back under the thin plastic, so there is air in there and you know the drive could have been smaller. And for portable drives, size matters. In portable lives every little space in your bag matters. – The stripes on the side. These catch a bit of dirt. But it looks nice.

I haven’t had problems with it, but right out of the box I noticed how thin and flexible the plastic housing is. There is another version of this at a similar price (for now) that is silver, with a more metallic housing – worth checking out.

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.

This was super simple for me to set up. I’ve never used an external hard drive before, only flash drives, and didn’t quite know what to expect. The set up was straight forward. As soon as I plugged it in, the drive window opened and I clicked the get started for Windows icon. That opened a registration page, I registered, then clicked a link about formatting the hard drive. I didn’t have to do that step because my hard drive was already formatted for use. I started dragging and dropping files to the expansion drive and, voila! The size is portable and it’s lightweight so you could travel with this easily. It’s not small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket, but still portable.

I purchased this hard drive to back up photos from my laptop. The transfer was quick and easy and there is a massive amount of storage available on 2TB! I’m planning to purchase a second identical drive for my videos. Great product and wonderful customer service! Thank you B&H!

These 4TB drives have a good moderate capacity and a very compact physical size. Perfect for just about any storage needs.

I purchased it to back-up important data from my computer. Then my laptop was stolen from me on Halloween. I used this Seagate Hard Drive to save the progress I made while writing my novel in the month of November. I completed my book in late December. Ever since, whenever I connect my hard drive to a computer it doesn’t show up at all. I cannot access any of the data that I don’t have backed up anywhere else. I purchased my Seagate External Hard Drive on Oct. 2. It’s Dec. 2 and it is no longer functional.

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!
