Great external drive for expanding storage space
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.USB 3, so read and write speeds are quick. Works right out of the box so no installs or software required. Only con is that like most external drives, it has Seagate files/software loaded on to it taking up space, but a simple file delete takes care of that.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Storage

Perfect storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent storage option for all of your photos, documents, and songs that you just never want to lose. I save photos on the Cloud as well, but even that has been glitchy. So before I decommissioned my old computer I saved all of my priceless most magnificent pictures of the most beautiful grandson in the world to this portable hard drive, and I have a lot of pictures. Took only a few moments and all is well.

Fast reliable storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to do a factory reset, backed up all my files in one afternoon and now use it as external storage instead of loading everything back into the computer. It's fast enough that I can run games off of it.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Square edges

Great Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thus product is very easy to use and the speed is great. The only thing I don't like is the square edges. It makes it hard to find a case it will fit in.

Realiable and compact
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had been wanting a small compact external hard drive for a hot minute and this sure fitted the bill. I like it because its small, fast and plug and play so that it can be used on the go without having to install any drivers.

Q: QuestionWould this be a good choice for a complete system backup for a Windows 10 laptop?
Asked by buytech.
- A:Answer Yes. I have several desktops and 2 laptops. One of my laptops is an HP Spectre x360 Convertible, which I also have a factory reset USB thumb drive for. I used my external HDD to do a complete system backup. I have used both devices to restore/recover my internal HDD, and they both worked perfectly. I feel comfortable knowing that my data/system can be restored/recovered by me if it is ever needed again.
