Would not connect through external USB hub, had to plug directly into my iMac. Pictures in "manual" show it plugging into back of computer, but no written instructions saying it had to be connected directly to port in computer.

NB I have inadvertently associated this review with the wrong Seagate product in the Ciao catalogue -I have requested admin's help to resolve the error but meanwhile readers should take note of the discrepancy!

Genuinely portable, good read/write performance; Reputable manufacturer

The bundled software functioanality is limited; Bundled USB3.0 lead is a little short

I ordered Seagate 3 TB Expansion- 3.5 Inch External Desktop and received within 4 days in perfect condition! I am very happy and satisfied with the service.

Would not recommend. Would not purchase again. (Though, to be fair, after decades of computer use and dozens of drives, I've probably been lucky to only have this and an old laptop drive that have crashed on me.

No pro big enough to mention in the face of the cons; I mean, that it's a lovely shade of black is hardly noteworthy

I had this drive running for 66 days before it crapped out. Without warning. One day, working a treat; the next day, suddenly, loads of clicking and, if I was very lucky, my computer might see that it existed and had data on it.

This is the THIRD Seagate drive muilti GB drive I have had which has simply stopped working (the last two fortunately within the warranty period) for no apparent reason. One died in the middle of a backup, the other was working second to last time it was connected, but not the last time.

love the large storage capacity. great to use as a backup hard drive or to store precious photos.

Amazing device. I had to do a lot of research not being a tech person, but as soon as I bought it I was congratulated for my purchase with the saying that "Seagate makes long resisting products, talking out of personal experience". I have it since 2013 and it is still as good as when it was new :)

Absolutely love this little guy. Bought it for storage since I run my boot on a SSD and this drive does it all. Tested it to make sure it work when it arrived, and then tore it apart.

Bought this drive as local backup but MS Backup fails everytime complaining of sector or related errors. Formatted the drive to try to clear the problem but still no go. Will probably have to return and try another drive.
