excellent product

I bought this HDD and a WD 2 TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0, Black for comparison as I wanted to back up my Macbook Pro for a 'worst-case scenario' type event, utilising both Apple's TimeMachine and CarbonCopyCloner as the software. Working in media, I often have a full-harddrive with plenty of valuable digital assets which are big in size and also often need the ability to archive. So having something reliable which can be quickly plugged in to take a snapshot of my machine, just in case something terrible happened. It's now been almost a year of doing a variety of things including moving house, finishing some big projects and regularly backing up my drives. The build quality of the Seagate drives is lesser than that of the WD counterpart, however, the recognising of the drive and general connectivity of the Seagate seems to be more efficient and reliable than that of the WD drive. That being said, I am now encountering more read errors on the Seagate drive and think it might be on the border of being corrupted very soon. If that does indeed happen I will update my review and outline the outcome. However, for the price and offering of it just being a quick and dirty way to keep some sort of backup, I think it's worth it. But if you are in the market for having one secure, reliable and long-lasting backup drive I would probably spend a bit more and go for an SSD.

The portable storage is really good, small and affordable. Read below for full review of the product: Positive: - Lots of storage! - Good price. - Uses USB 3.0, which allows fast file transfers. - Can be carried around easily as it fits in the pocket. Negative: - The material is plastic, even if it feels quiet solid, I wouldn't want to drop it. - The cable for file transfer is not common, so try not to break it or lose it. Overall score 7/10, very good portable storage.

Bought this to take Raw photo files off my over-full MacBook Air and use as storage while on holiday, for copying over to my desktop machine at home. Will probably use it for music recording too. Works a treat, just plug it in and the Mac recognises it, eject like any other removable media. Transfer rates are more than adequate. The only note is that for Mac use you need to format it properly for MacOS with Disk Utility, and format the whole drive, not just the default mounted volume. See others' reviews for more detailed notes on this.

brilliant for expanding memory and nice and compact to take with you

I like the Seagate drive. However, when my Windows 7 computer starts up it delays and won't continue. I fixed that by ejecting the Seagate drive before the PC was powered down. The eject procedure confirmed it was OK to remove the drive at the USB connection port. Once the PC has started up, I can reconnect the drive properly. I use 360 SEcurity as the program that helps my PC along and also helps install or eject USB drives. The Seagate's 1 TB storage is OK at this price range and may be considered safer to use than the 2 TB drives but many of the Freeview mp2 files I've stored on this drive take up a lot of storage space and yet I'm glad that I've got the recordings working with various video players' PC programs OK. I am thankful for any Amazon discounts I get because I apply these to buying more external drives when I can.

Maravilhoso

Nice HD

Its compact design makes it easy to carry around, and the plug-and-play functionality ensures hassle-free setup. With ample storage space, I can conveniently backup and transfer large files, photos, and videos. The data transfer speed is impressive, saving me time during backups. However, it's important to handle it with care, as the exterior feels a bit delicate.
