TL;DR: Don't buy Seagate if your data is important! This has been a problematic drive since I bought it. The 'power saving' feature would cause it to be detected by my laptop as being disconnected when it went into this mode, which eventually lead to my laptop no longer being able to recognize it...

This is a good product for the price. It does what it is advertised to do and is easy to use. I use it to backup my PC files monthly.

Ease of use

Be patient on large copies

I have owned this for just over 9 months now and am very happy with my purchase. I will definitely recommend this drive.

great stability and plenty of space to backup all of our data

none so far

Compared to other external drives I have and used (Western Digitals, Seagate FreeAgents, Maxtors, Acomdatas, etc.) the Expansion line seems remarkably issue-free. True, I've been filling them with Terabytes of data only since two weeks, but they hold up well.

I don't mean to be "that guy", but these other reviewers have to be doing something wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this drive. I plugged it in and immediately started transferring data. I've filled it up to almost 2TB already.

Small, quiet (many are not!), sleek device with a large capacity. Let's face it, all these things fail eventually. Irreplaceable files need to be stored on more than one device. This one is no bigger than my first, which only held 500MB.

This SEEMS TO BE THE TICKET to great entertainment as well as super storage, both accomplished at an inexpensive price. After loading up with all my CDs in WAV plus all my images, I plan to transfer this HD to my HDTV. Then lazy me can just click and play anything I choose.

A great product fast and easy-to-use, becomes even better with a mediaplayer as you can stream to your TV you movies,tv shows or even family homemovies

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 :)
