It works
Great style and quiet. It was hard to set up because the directions for a Mac user were poor. I had some problems figuring out what to do. The product is geared for PC's, but works with Mac's. However, not all the features are functional for a Mac user.
Pros:
- Attractive Design
- Compact
- High Capacity
- Portable
- Quiet
Cons:
- Mac's Have Concerns

Great Buy! Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB Drive
I've had this product for 2 months and I bought it for both long term storage of pics and music, and for large exchanges of information from one computer to another, It's slim & lightweight for the amount of memory it affords; it works smoothly in both my Mac & PC.

Problem copying files with long names
A good product, however a problem is that it does not copy files with longer file names. This means that when one wants to make a safety copy of a large number of files, one has to revisit all the files that one wants to copy because not all files get copied.

Great hard drive for anyone
Great sized hard drive offering speedy and reliable performance all around. I've used this mainly on USB 2.0 and frequently on USB 3.0 and both offered above-average performances. Would've been even better if the SATA-to-USB connector can be locked in place.
Pros:
- Speedy and reliable performance
- silent operation
- relatively thin and conservative profile
- LED activity indicator is non-obtrusive
Cons:
- The USM attachment to the actual hard drive feels a little bit unreliable
- In real operating conditions this is virtually a non-issue, but it would've been nice if there was a switchable lock or screws to secure the SATA connector onto the hard drive

seemed easy to use at first, and now I can't back up anything without buying their software online. so glad I bought this one. i owned an older version of this and it still works great, but the backup plus seems to be the problem.

The instructions for setting up the Seagate were hard to follow. However, the tech at the 800 number quickly, efficiently, professionally walked me through the process in a matter of minutes.
Pros:
- Attractive Design
- Compact
- Easy to use
- Portable
Cons:
- Difficult To Set-up Using

Brilliant device, compact, silent, runs cool, needs no external psu, very good value. Needed reformatting for MacOS (took 20 seconds so no problem), and their included software is not terribly...useful.

The product is what I expected & works as expected flawlessly. The only negative coment is that the case is plastic & not metal. I would recommend this product to others.
