I was running out of room on my hard drive on my computer, this little baby made it super easy to transfer a bunch of files that I wanted to access on from another computer and also free up alot of space on my desktop. One happy camper here!

I just purchase this product, relatively recently, and these are my thoughts thus far. It is lightweight, small, compact and the texture of the device is uniquely interesting. I am not certain on why the cloth like design is part of this storage device, but I like it; it is a delightful and warn look to a storage device that I can appreciate. I am extremely satisfied with the storage space and the consideration of Seagate company to provide USB C and USB 3.0 adapters for my computer. It frees up a port for my older devices that support the USB 3.0 connection. Lastly, I appreciate the silence of the storage drive, no loud or annoying fan in the background.

Compact with m?e?g?a? tera storage. Fast and problem free backups with the included software. Backed up 1.3 TB of photos onto the Seagate Backup Plus in about 30 minutes. Will suggest this to my son, who is a music producer, to backup his files.

So far, they have performed very well. I have two of them, one for a complete time machine backup(Mac) and the other is an additional backup for music, photos and important files. Upon receipt, I reformatted, plugged them in to my computer and they were ready to go.

Standard external hard drive. Smaller than I was expecting which was a nice surprise. Had to mess around with properties and drive type to get it all set up properly, but once I did I've had no issues. Great product for the price

The Seagate 5TB external hard drive is exactly what I was looking for to backup a laptop and store photos from my camera and phone. It's small size means I can easily take it along whenever and wherever I transport my laptop. The backup software is very easy to use and works in the background to back up all my data.

Works great and was easy to install. It backs up all new data almost as soon as it is added to the computer.

I use it to back up my Windows 10 laptop. No complaints at all. Gets the job done. Price is totally reasonable for what it does.

I have several seagate products and they all have served me well. This does its job as expected but the new covering isn't that special to me. It actually cheapens it for me in real life. Again it's a hard drive i'll just keep it safe in a casing which defeats the purpose of the cool new look, just like cell phones hahahahahahaaa.

En el mes que he utilizado este disco duro externo, ha funcionado muy bien. La capacidad de almacenaje es adecuada para los archivos que guardo y los programas que utilizo, ya que con 2 Terabytes entiendo que es suficiente para mis necesidades. Me gusta porque es portátil y lo puedes llevar a donde quiera que vayas. Otra ventaja que tiene es que es compatible con los puertos USB 2.0 y 3.0. Su diseño es sencillo, moderno. Viene en una caja metálica que entiendo que debe protegerlo en caso de que se caiga, si es a una altura baja. Además viene en varios colores. La transferencia de datos es bastante rápida y no he tenido problemas a la hora de guardar información. También incluye una aplicación para hacer tus backups de forma ordenada y segura. Lo que no me gusta es que el cable es muy corto y si lo vas a conectar a una computadora de escritorio, tienes que ponerlo encima de la torre para que no se vaya a caer. Pienso que es ideal para las laptops ya que lo conectas y lo pones al lado de la misma y no vas a tener problemas con eso. Por lo demás, ha funcionado muy bien. El precio es bastante asequible y definitivamente lo recomiendo.

I am really happy with this external drive. I have a Windows at home and a Mac at work, so it is really helpful to be able to go back-and-forth between systems. I haven’t had any issues with this drive and this is my second time purchasing one.

Connect and go and never worry about having enough space for your monthly backup again. A great product from a great manufacturer at a great price. I bought two, one for my lab to backup the videos I'm producing for online courses and another for a desktop PC backup.

A significantly smaller drive the I expected … actually a pleasant surprise since it takes up very little desk space while storing a good amount of information! The price is well worth it!

This hard drive serves the purpose well. I work with a lot of data that requires storing for several years at least. It hasn't been long since the purchase, but so far I'm satisfied with the product. The transfer is quick, and storage is safe.

I bought two
By GUY K.
I bought one for my wife and one for myself. It's compact, fast, and super easy. We have Macs and you just plug it in with the usb cable that comes with it, click Time Machine and you've got a second copy of your computer. No external power source is required which is a big plus. I back up my computer regularly and put the Seagate hard drive in a bank safe deposit box when I travel. I may buy another one so I can always have one at the bank and swap them out every so often.

Great little portable backup
By MARIA S.
I am in the middle of busy season and ran out of space, so I finally reorganized my backups. This is perfect since I don't need to access it all the time and it fits anywhere, but eventually I should go the RAID way. For now two handmade backups work.
The Seagate Backup Plus 2TB 2.5" Slim Portable External Hard Drive (Red) simplifies backup for consumers who want to protect their entire digital life locally, in the cloud, from mobile devices or from social networks. The slim, metal design allows you to slide the drive into your pocket, purse or backpack and carry it with you. Via the Seagate Dashboard, use the Protect function to set up a one-click plan or schedule your automatic local backup. Keep multiple copies of your files in case disaster strikes. Install the free Seagate Mobile Backup app on an iOS or Android mobile device to back up all of the pictures and videos from the device to the drive or the cloud. Back up mobile devices via a Wi-Fi connection while at home or use services like Dropbox or Google Drive while on-the-go, away from home.
With the Save feature, user-generated content can be backed up from your favorite social networks. Capture a memory, post it on a social networking site and let the Seagate Dashboard automatically back up any content posted, even photos that you are tagged in. The Share feature allows multiple files to be uploaded to social networks at once from your computer. Simply select files to upload, choose where to post them and even add comments. Managing your social profile has never been easier. Install the pre-loaded NTFS driver for Mac and use the drive interchangeably between Windows and Mac computers without reformatting the drive.
