    This has become my go-to external hard drive. Works perfectly for storing backups of projects and massive video files for my freelancing business.

    Local Store Manager Helped When Another Drive DOA

    I had purchased another drive, not Seagate, which was DOA, but I had not opened the box until more than a year. Store manager Peter said he could not replace original drive, that I had to deal with manufacturer, but he offered to help out on what was in store. Inventory was depleted. This Backup Plus was only 4TB drive available. Got a small discount for all my trouble. Windows recognizes this drive instantly, but Linux does not. No Linux drivers, not even in USB 2 mode. Linux did recognize a 10 year old Hitachi USB 2 drive.
