5 stars because it’s an excellent little hard drive, as Seagate products typically are. However, for buyer research, I want to expand on a question regarding compatibility with iPad, and echo what I’ve written in the Q&A: All answers in the Q&A section say that it’s not compatible with iPad, but in my experience, it works just fine with my 3rd Gen iPad Pro (USB-C*) if the drive is formatted in either exFAT or Mac OS Extended Journaled (both in GUID partition). *An iPad with a Lightning connector would likely require the use of Apple’s Lightning to USB Camera Adapter However the one caveat is that I can’t get the iPad to recognize it if it’s encrypted. When formatted in Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted, the drive would power on, but it would not be recognized by the iPad in the Files app. My SSD and USB flash drive work fine formatted in APFS Encrypted, but APFS is not recommended for hard disks. Therefore, if you want to use this drive with encryption, format it in Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted and use it with a Mac. But if you want something encrypted for direct use with your iPad, use a flash drive or an external SSD and use APFS Encrypted. Otherwise, this is a fine hard disk drive all around and will see use as a compact backup for the iPad’s flash drive and other personal files (using a Mac for file management).

I purchased this drive to backup all my data. With 4tb of space, I was able to fit all of my data so everything is backed up and stored in a safe location. I recommend you back up your data too. This drive is small, slick looking and worked great. While I did get decent transfer speeds with the USB 3 connection, I did not get full USB 3.0 speeds, so it did not perform at true USB 3.0 expected speed and for that reason, I cannot give it 5 stars. Worked great with Windows 10. Great price from B&H and awesome free shipping, you cannot beat this deal! I purchased another one to backup my imac.

This item arrived super fast! It also works like a charm. I use it for backup storage for my Macbook and it configures well. It also looks very sleek and so far no issues uploading big files and multiple files. 5TB will never run out either

Incredibly smaller than my previous 5TB drives, which is a definite plus, and very quiet. As a photographer, 99% of my data is in photos and I found the transfer to be equally fast as other USB 3 drives. Price was the best I found anywhere for 5 TBs so crossing fingers that it holds up well.

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!

I had many external hard drives but the Seagate was easy to install and use and was very fast uploading files.
