The drive functions perfectly. Not the fastest, but that is to be expected of this type of storage. The perfect choice for someone wanting a large amount of storage at a good price.

Pretty good hard driver. I enjoy playing games on my PC, so I need a lot of space. It is very small, super easy to carry around. I have used it for a while and have no complaints. It is a perfect option to save your data, such as family pictures and documents.

I was very happy with this purchase. Came fast and did what it was supposed to do. I bought it after purchasing another brand that came DOA (Dead On Arrival). This one worked great for backing up 2 of my computers. Still plenty of room for more. It was very simple to get up and running. Nothing to install, and seems to be very durable

Clean design and super practical. Perfect as a backup drive, fits nicely in my safe, and travels easily when needed. Transfer speeds are solid for daily use, and it works great as an extra drive on my desk. Came with all the cables I needed and shipping was quick.

The backup capacity is extraordinary for the price. Top quality and very quiet, this small unit functions fast and gives tremendous storage. Cable length is more than adequate and the unit is compact and stackable. I liked my first one so much, I purchased another.

I’ve been using this Seagate external hard drive for a couple of years, and it still performs like new. It’s faster than other brands I’ve tried, completely reliable, and I’ve never had a single issue. Truly a great product, my little treasure!

Contrary to Amazon's answer to my question as to whether or not this portable drive supports Linux, I just learned directly from Seagate technical support that it does NOT. If you're interested in the details leading up to this discovery, read on. After being told by Amazon that this drive would work with Ubuntu Linux I made the purchase. Drive arrived yesterday and my system (Ubuntu 22.04) recognized it as soon as I plugged it in. OK, good so far. Next I used Ubuntu's built in drive tools to partition the drive and reformat it as ext4. That also appeared to work fine. I could mount and unmount either partition and check the drive and all looks good. Next I start copying an image of my computer's boot partition to the portable drive. Initially it looks like that is working fine. Eight hours later, the process has not finished and we're only talking less than 500 MB. I realize that what I'm doing might take awhile, which is why I just left this to run overnight, but eight hours plus? Initially the light on the hard drive was blinking green. It's still blinking but now it's blinking white rather than green. Hmmm, what does that mean? No idea, so I go to Seagate's support site to find the manual for the drive to see if there's any info about that. It turns out that there is no such thing as an actual user manual for this drive. What Seagate calls a "user manual" is a copy of the same leaflet that came with the drive that has a single page with a drawing of the drive and its USB cable with one end of the cable pointing at the drive and the other end of the cable pointing to a computer. Nothing at all about how to interpret the meaning of green light vs. white light on the drive. I was not able to find anything about that anywhere on Seagate's help pages either so I initiated a help session with a live agent. The live agent's response? "does not support Linux." Sad. Eighty bucks wasted. If you are looking for a portable drive for use with Linux, this is likely not the drive for you. That said, MAYBE it would work if you are only intending to use it for data backup as NTFS (which is the format the drive comes with). NTFS can work with Linux if you've got the right version and the right software on your system but, if you need an external bootable drive with Linux's native file format, don't buy this drive. UPDATE: Turns out that after A LOT of screwing around and many attempts and much time spent I was finally able to get this drive to work with Ubuntu Linux. Seagate apparently misspoke when they told me it would not work. I think their technical support people just don't know Linux so they told me that to get rid of me. Anyway, after talking to friends more computer savvy than myself and being told by them that they couldn't think of a reason why it shouldn't work, I decided to keep trying and I was finally able to make it work. What you need to do first is to remove the partitions and do a LOW LEVEL reformat. Completely wipe the drive as a first step. I formatted the boot partition as FAT32 (537MB size) and the data partition as ext4 (but ext2 would probably work too). I was then successful in installing Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and copying my data over. My computer can now boot and run off of this drive BUT be aware that this drive is SLOW. In fact, it is amazingly slow. I originally gave it two stars but I upped my rating to three stars because I was able to make it work but I just couldn't bring myself to rate it any higher than that on account of the slow spped of data transfer on this drive. The drive's enclosure is really solidly built and has a nice finish and it's really compact and it is whisper quiet, but it is really, really slow. So, minus one star for no manual and another star for SLOW.

I purchased the 2TB version of this drive for additional storage on my iMac. Large video files can be cumbersome to transfer to the cloud, so having reliable physical storage makes a big difference. I chose Seagate because they’ve been around for decades, and from my experience working in a computer repair shop, they’ve consistently been a dependable brand. The 2TB capacity offers plenty of space for video files, backups, and general storage, and it’s a great value for the price. The drive itself has a slim, compact design — slightly larger than a credit card and about half an inch thick — so it takes up very little desk space. It’s lightweight and easy to carry in a backpack or laptop bag. The enclosure is plastic but feels sturdy enough for normal travel and everyday handling. I’ve moved it around without any issues. It works with both PC and Mac. I’ve used it on both systems, though it’s currently formatted for my iMac. Setup was straightforward and formatting was simple. Performance has been solid. There’s virtually no delay when accessing files, and it transfers roughly 100GB in about 20–30 minutes, which is perfectly acceptable for my needs. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would absolutely buy it again.
