I am not really sure who to blame more about this, about one and a half years after I bought it, started to miss behave, sometimes it disappeared from the system and things like that, but Amazon didn't want to refund it, only to exchange it, which is not very convenient, I mean, of course I would...

My son needed extra storage for his gaming system. I brought this home, he hooked it up and it works great! Plenty of room for all his games.

I bought it on July 23rd and from then until this last weekend, it worked fine, no issues, didn't travel around or get bumped nothing. This weekend rolls around it's no longer acknowledged by the PC. It powers up and I hear a faint beeping noise of the plates trying to move, but nothing...

Excellent Portable External Hard drive, that enables me to take all my favourite Movies and Photos away with me when I travel away from home. With an ever increasing need for memory these small vert efficient 4TB Seagates do the job well.

Catastrophic failure after a few months - loss of all data - not reliable - not fit for purpose.

Did the job that I purchased it for

I bought this as a replacement for a failing external hard drive, for use with Time Machine back up for our iMac. In comparison with the larger hard drive it replaces, it has greater capacity and is a fraction of the size, taking up little room on the desk. Very easy to set up for Mac only.

I have two Seagate 1TB hard drives that appear to work very well. I bought this one to be the big kahuna. A hard drive that would hold big files, old files; pretty much everything that I wouldn't have an immediate use for. I loaded everything onto it and put it in a desk drawer.

When I used custom backup plan, it did not back up some of the folders selected for backup. I had to do 'All files' back up to get this done. Backup is fast. But seagate has to fix this issue of custom back up not backing up all folders selected.
