Great HD for storage or using as a DVR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This hard drive is quiet and very fast when pluged up to a usb3.0 port. I have 2TB of tv & movies on it now and a lot of music. The price was great and so easy to use after it's set up. Almost wish i'd have bought 2 of them

Seagate Backup Plus 4TB
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a secondary backup to my iMac. It was very simple to install and work along side my Mac. It is very quick using USB 3.0. I also loved the fact it was a Best Buy deal, very cheap.

Relatively Large & inexpensive; USB 3.0 only.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pro: A simple external backup drive with more room than MANY users are likely to need (4 TB). Preference items: Uses a horizontal format: stable, but takes up more desk surface than a vertical format. (This one sits next to CPU Tower - Off Floor, but not on desk top.) Lacks the "% Full" LEDS our 2 TB unit, but that always seemed more gimmick than useful. Potential Con: USB 3.0 interface only. Backwards compatible to USB 2 of course, but a) not as fast as 3.1 (assuming your system has one!); and b) a Firewire port might be nice if your system has one of those & is short on USB ports. Disappointing (more-or-less - as this was expected): Don't care for the included Seagate BU Software. YMMV, & 3rd Party programs are readily available at prices ranging from Free to $$$. Still, had slight hope for improvement.

Great Desktop Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being a photographer means having a great need for storage space for all my photos. This drive is perfect for my needs. I drop all of my 18mb photo files on this drive then have it backup to the cloud at the same time. The speed is good and thus far I have had zero issues. Greatly appreciate this drive for making my life easier and giving me a peace of mind knowing my files are safe and not stored on my PC.

Great external hard drive for the ps4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this when it was on Deal of the Day for around 75 bucks. It was a really for good deal. I bought it for extra memory for my ps4 and it works great. The one thing that is not so great is you have to plug it into a power outlet. Other than that it's great

Great addition for my personal cloud
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this as an extension to my seagate personal cloud. It works great. It's pretty straightforward. Keep in mind, this isn't portable so it requires to be plugged into a power outlet. It's fast and reliable. Good value.

Fast and easy setup.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to set up. The included software was nice but I formatted the drive and after using it to transfer some other big files around it's still working well. Very quiet and will buy again if it goes on sale.
