Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 2TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black

I have bought over three external hard drives over the past ten years, ranging from 1 to 3 TB in size. While all of them were adequate, the larger ones, were slower and they all wore out quickly, from the largest to the smallest. Seagate is not only 2 TB in memory size, it is three times faster than any of the others I have owned. it out-performed them all in every category. It is portable, fast, and does not use an electrical cord but gets it's power from the USB cord that it uses for computer connections, so only one cord needed. Just plug into your computer USB port and its up and running.... that easy. I also recommend a small carrying case to hold the portable drive and it's cord for protection. The Insignia™ - Hard Shell Case for Most Portable Hard Drives - Black, fits it to a tee, and the cheapest on the market, a hardshell covered in cloth. It's superb!!! Five stars for both

I went with this Seagate Drive because of price and size. Also not so easy to lose this like thumb drives.

After looking at different name brands offered and reading the reviews, I decided on Seagate. I already have 1 Seagate hard drive but it did not have enough memory on it (only 500 gb) for what I needed. My main purpose is for picture storage for several generations of pictures. I decided on the 2TB for the size which is more than enough but I would rather have too much than not enough. I love the size. It is small enough to carry in a purse and they also offer carrying cases for them. The only complain I have for them is the cord is too short that attaches to the computer (17 inches) but others may like the length the way it is.

Checked out the good reviews for this online as a PS4 hard drive replacement. Search on YouTube and you'll find a tutorial on how to open up this external drive and remove the hdd inside so you can place this into your PS4 and upgrade to 2TB. In return you can put the 500GB hdd that was in your PS4 into the housing/enclosure and use it as an external USB 500GB Hard drive with your PC/Mac (or even additional storage space for your XBox One, once formatted), rather than it just sitting in a drawer somewhere. Be aware though that once you open the enclosure you void your warranty with Seagate and won't be able to return this but it comes highly recommended and worked for both my friend and I. Good Luck! It's not hard at all. Just watch the tutorial video on YouTube first and you'll be fine. Take your time when opening the enclosure!

This was super easy to setup and lightweight. I work out of my home and back office, and this makes it easy and convenient . I bought a second one for our tablo backup.

This is such a convenient backup hard drive. It is extremely easy to use. It is a nice size, since it's not too bulky, so you can easily transport it. It is also portable due to the fact that it doesn't need to connect to a wall charger. You just plug this into the USB port, then look for the files you would like to backup, then you copy and paste them. It's that simple. It is also able to store a very large amount so all of your files should fit, for normal everyday files.

These Seagate Backup Plus Slim drives are the greatest technological innovation of the decade (so far). Thin, lightweight, portable, rugged and fast, they solve all manner of storage problems. I've benchmarked them using Crystal Disk software and found consistent read rates of 122 Mb/s and write rates of 101 Mb/s. The free 200GB of OneDrive storage is a nice lagniappe.

I use this hard drive to backup my computer. It is small, portable, and works with no problems.
