    My wife kept telling me that she wants to be able to carry her photos, music, and school stuff from one computer to the next and is tired of dealing with thumb drives. We decided to go this route and she loves it. Tons of storage, easy plug and play, and not too big.

    Great Portable hard drive - its a plug and play so no set up is needed. The 2TB size will fulfill the needs for just about everyone. Use as additional memory or a means to back up your computer, this HD should handle the load with no issues.

    High-Capacity Storage With Style!

    I've owned many external/portable hard drives/SSDs throughout the years and I must say that this Seagate Drive (the blue one in particular) is definitely the most aesthetic out of the whole lot. But it's just not the looks of this device that captured my attention but how large of a storage capacity that I received for the price I paid for. The speed of this device is on par with others that I've previously owned and I didn't notice any particular slowdowns or compatability issues so far. In all, this Seagate drive offers a great portable solution for those in need of a ton of space for their computer at a very reasonable price.

    Purchased this to use with my iMac and it works great. It's a plug and play drive which is very nice. I use it to store screen recordings of my classes and speed and write times are fast. Really nice design to match my desk and computer. This brand always provides me with great reliable products at a reasonable price.

    Love Seagate portable External Hard Drives

    Many don't seem to enjoy Seagate external harddrives. I personally like their portability. I had issues with a tabletop external hard drive of a different type, bought elsewhere. No issues whatsoever with it. It's easy to install, use, etc. and it holds quite a bit of photos, documents, etc. The only thing I don't like about them is they only accept certain types of files.

    Seagate is my trusted go to brand when shopping g for external hard drives. I have a 1TB drive that I filled up, so when looking for one with more storage capabilities it was a no brained to go with Seagate again. The silver/blue color and low price we’re also selling points for me.

    Awesome Backup Drive

    This is my second purchase of the Seagate Slim 2tb drive. I bought the second one for my daughter to backup up her laptop. When I went to assist her on how to use, to my surprise she had did it herself. The ease to setup for backup even for a novice user tells the story about this device. The slim hard drive is great for storing away and has ample storage space for our needs.

    We take lots of digital picture and we have lots of old photos that we plan to scan, so we need more memory and this drive is perfect. It's compact, easy to install to your desktop or laptop and can hold years and year of photos. The fact that you can buy these drives in different colors is nice too. The sale price makes it hard to beat!
