Use it to backup photo files. Works as advertised. I miss the light not blinking when it is loading just to give me reassurance.

I can see a noticeable improvement in the speed with which Lightroom loads my photographs now that I have them on this drive. The previous drive, also external (USB), was much slower.

I was blown away by how fast this compact external drive was when backing up my Macbook Pro. As a designer / photographer, it’s extremely important to have redundant backups of my system and files (especially now that we’re working from home and don’t have easy access to the network drive). This small but mighty drive performed perfectly. I personally used my Mac’s TimeMachine for this particular backup, so I reformatted it first and cannot comment on all the included Seagate software and functionality, but I’m certain they would have worked great. Thanks again B&H for yet another quick delivery of a perfect product. Cheers! -Gage from NOLA

This external hard drive is plug-and-play easy. I have a Macbook Pro and it was as simple as plug in USB, double-click the quick start and finish setup (2 minutes tops), and start backing up files.

I have been using this drive constantly since it was delivered. I chose it because of its high reliability ratings from multiple reviewers, and I find its speed more than adequate for my purposes. True: the cable is a bit short, but since I have it just above my desktop machine, that doesn’t present a problem. Definitely recommended.

I order from B&H it seems like every other week. I like to read the reviews And have had extremely good luck with everything I have ordered. I used to call and talk to the experts Back in the 90s When I was doing wedding videography. Now I am just A happily retired hobbiest.
