This expansion drive works great. I had to go to the Seagate website to download the software to run it. It is very easy to use. I used it to transfer files from an old computer to a new computer that I purchased. I am also using it to back up files.

Unit suddenly lost power, will not restart, (NO Power) ALL our back-up GONE!! Seagate should be ashamed for producing such a poor quality product. Now to RMA it back, we have to pay out of pocket, were done with Seagates Expansion Desktop Drives.

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.

Attractive Design; Compact; Easy to use; High Capacity

Noisy

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. However, when i tried to use, only up to 2 TB is possible to use, it always says, "The Disk space over 2 TB is unable to be used for this MBR...

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
