This external hard drive is quite portable, it’s sleek and simple. Great for on the go stuff! I personally use it for my laptop but can be used on desktop as well. It uses a USB 2.0 and 3.0. It has auto back up if set right when registering it. It also allows the drag and drop file saving that many of us has used in past. There is a limited warranty and a rescue data recovery service.

I have used Seagate drives since 2002 when I built my first workstation. It had three Seagates in it. Now I have a Zalman GS1000 which holds eight drives, six easily hot-swappable. They run anywhere from 24/7 to just 10 hours/day. They are reliable. I have only lost three since 2002, but I have dozens. I store my Docs on one, music on one, audio recordings, AFX & music on one, media project support on one and then projects, companies and TB’s of video on others including master DVD’s, CD’s, BluRays and others. I have used other drives like WD but I buy these because they work and last. Sure you can use SSD’s but these are WAY cheaper. And cloud storage? Only for the ignorant and foolish (mine would cost nearly a $1,000/year. Learn how to use HDD’s they save money and time.

Drives either work or they don’t. And this one works. It’s a small form factor hard drive so the performance isn’t great compared to physically larger drives, but it’s on par with other drives of it’s size.

It is designed to allow a user with limited technical skills to store and retrieve photos and data.

I bought this backing up the family’s Macs. I reformatted it to HFS+ and copied the drives using SuperDuper – no muss no fuss!

Plenty of room to backup your old PC when you move to Windows 10 on that new PC. And it’s so small you can put all your photos and files in your pocket.

Great price and super easy to use.

Currently using this drive as a backup drive with Time Machine on my MacBook Pro. Set up was quick and easy as Mac recognized it needed to be reformatted for use. All is well so far.

Works great. Have a YouTube channel and my hard-drive on laptop was getting full. This solved my issue for this year. Will be getting another later.

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.
