  • Excellent hard drive
Size: 2TB Style: Portable HDD
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.

  • Huge external HDD great for backing up tons of data
Size: 4TB Style: Portable HDD
It's a big external HD. It's big. It's external. It's a Hard Drive. Need a lot of space on one external drive? Then get this. I've only had it about a week, but it seems to work just fine. It makes no noise when not in use. It makes minor/minimal sounds when copying large amounts of data to it. It makes a noticeable brief buzzing sound when 'waking' from standby that only lasts 2-3 seconds. Did I say this was external? Did I say it has a high capacity? Did I say it is a hard drive? Oh, the design is black and stands on its side, and doesn't give off any noticeable heat. As for speed, beats me. Seemed normal speed. Reality is that any time you get a drive this large, the primary purpose is likely as a backup - or a backup to a backup, and the only time speed might matter in that case is the first time you're backing up a large amount of data. After that, I'm sure you'd never notice either way. I'm happy I bought it. I got it at price/GB that is impossible to beat. Would buy again - but won't need to any time soon, because it's big. (Did I mention that already?) ... show more

  • Great option for the price!
Size: 2TB Style: Portable HDD
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.

  • Clean Design, Solid Performance, Zero Hassle
Size: 5TB Style: Portable HDD
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.

  • Seems to work great, initial file load works great
Size: 4TB Style: Portable HDD
Not sure what to rate this because of another Seagate external hard drive we own. On the surface (initial use) it seems great. Easy to use, a good option for backing up files. However our older Seagate Drive has been unreliable. The initial files we saved on it are great--still accessible, "plug and play". However I tried to save a good deal of data to it a few years later and I can't find the data. It looked like it saved fine but ?? can't find it a few days later when I tried to access what I had saved. My best advice--use this to backup your data, but don't trust it alone. Use cloud storage as well (especially if there are files you CAN'T lose). 2 backups are better than one! ... show more

  • A Very Good Buy. Glad I was forced into it.
Size: 2TB Style: Portable HDD
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 ... show more

  • Compact Storage or Backup with Large Capacity.
Size: 5TB Style: Portable HDD
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.

  • Just perfect. My little treasure!
Size: 2TB Style: Portable HDD
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!
