Very nice little portable hard drive with a Huge amount of storage space available. Perfect to back up files including precious personal files such as pictures, video, and music. This hard drive is handing because it is small and portable. Just plug it into a USB slot.

I thought this was a great product as it ran relatively cool and quietly and backed up via USB3. Decent transfer speeds and ofcourse at this moment the largest capacity for a 2.5 inch (albeit thicker) portable drive.

Large size compact external drive that did not a separate power supply; Ran fairly cool

Failed at 6 months; HD sentinel picked up multiple bad sectors; Advised critical health; Ran seatools and failed even short test; Now i am trying to check warranty and coming up with either serial number incorrect or that product is OEM!! Yes this was bought from newegg new 6 months back.

DSLR camera output storage, needed to store photographs and video. It replaces a full, large format, 3 TB drive. Fast transfer speeds made the job go quicker. One small drive to travel with, and it's got everything on it!

4 TB in a small form; Fast; >150 MB/S on large files; 4 TB for a good price

none

It's an excellent product and you don't need any annoying power adapter just plug to your PC USB port.

Good product, if you use a laptop with no extra HDD bay but a lot of data to go with you, this is a good choice.

capacity is good for its price; a bit thick but portability is still OK, very quiet when running, read/write speed is around 120Mb/100Mb through USB3

a bit heavy for 2.5 inch; but still OK consider its capacity

This is a great replacement for my original 2tb western digital external hdd. I have to say that after owning and using my WD2tb HDD for over two years with minimal troubles, I was a little concerned that such a jump from 2tb to 4tb and swapping companies, could possibly mean more troubles

Biggest portable storage on the market at the moment. A single large file (gigabyte) not as quick to transfer as many files equallying same size (not sure why). Very good for what I need it for. I purchased two - one used as backup.

I love the blue colour and 4Tb capacity, but it's slightly fat form factor while knowing the capacity will be available in thinner models soon leaves just a little to be desired for that 5-star rating.

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.
