This update is a few months after purchase.

I love this external hard drive, I've been using it for a while and have no complaints. Tech support was really helpful when I needed an answer. Will definitely buy again.**Update**This is an update. The last 2 months is constantly buggy. I have to disconnect and reconnect several times hoping it will work again. I will not buy this product again!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Lots of things

Don't waste your time and money: you've been warned

I'm pretty sure the hard drive worked as soon as I opened the package but I can't tell you why in an hour for a long time my computer couldn't read the disc and all I heard was a beep from the hard drive - an indication that something was wrong with the hard drive. Within 2 days Seagate Technical Support told me to either return the unit or replace it. Don't waste your time. Not a durable/reliable product.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • There were problems

AVOID IF YOU ARE A MAC USER!

IF YOU ARE A MAC USER, AVOID THIS PRODUCT! I installed this product and software as instructed. Follow the instructions to drag and drop the files I wanted to back up onto the drive and BAM GO! I received a message that the driver needs to be installed, but the documents are gone. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to use the TimeMachine function on the computer for work purposes. So now all my files are gone! IF YOU ARE A MAC USER DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!

Pros
  • Outstanding design
Cons
  • New competition has arrived

The read/write speed is terrible though.

Read/write speed is very poor. Also, format the drive after consulting others. It works great for the first minute of file transfer, after that the speed drops to 20MB/s or less. and after that it never gets better. I recently bought a USB Type-C to Micro-B cable from Amazon Basics, it stays pretty stable at speeds over 90Mbps throughout the transfer. Mostly over 120mb/s. I do not recommend this drive unless you purchase the Revain Basics cable with it.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Available in white only

Fast, large storage

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with only a 256GB SSD. So far I've managed until my job shifted more to media and editing. Using mostly Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator has made this external hard drive a must have. I formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using DISk utility and set it up as a scratch drive for my Adobe Cloud and it suits my needs perfectly. Simple and fast, and it's quiet too. The small size makes it easy to drop the bag and take it with you. I am very happy! *One important…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Everything seems fine: External hard drives

I have a Mac. I got it in 2011. She works great. I've never had any problems with it. But it's 9 years old. I had a Dell and then a Sony PC and they lasted about five years. Maybe I could hold out for a few more years. But 9 years. That's long. I have so many photos and videos of my loved ones. If I lost her I would feel bad. So I did a little research and looked for ways to backup everything. Somehow I stopped there. I connected it to my Mac and it launched Time Machine. It helped me to set up

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Fits

Lasted 7 weeks: Datastore

Bought this 26th February. He died on the evening of April 14th...right after the return window, of course. As soon as I opened the package upon arrival, I had the feeling that it was cheap plastic junk. He seemed fragile and light. The case was slightly deformed when I grabbed it. Then I plugged it in and started transferring some files and setting it up for Time Machine backups and I found that the speeds were pretty slow even over Thunderbolt3. I just didn't trust this drive any more than a…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
