Summary: Bought 3 of these over time, all the drives still work but I removed them from the case and running in NAS. The USB3 base is perfect for that ghetto mod.
Pros: price flexibility
Cons: once you crack the case open the warranty is done
Summary: This is an update for this product, with built-in backup software that is even easier to work with than the previous version (which was pretty darn easy).
Summary: I had an easy time downloading to this external hard drive. I use it for movies, and it is an attractive piece of electronics placed near the TV.
Summary: One previous Seagate, a portable, died after seven months. But, optimist that I am, I decided this one fit my needs best and that the bad one must have been a freak.
Pros: It works as it should.
Cons: Electrical brick covers two receptacles. Should have a connection for ThunderBolt or FireWire, not just USB.
