SeagateExpansion Portable, 1TB, External Hard Drive, 2.5 Inch, USB 3.0, for Mac and PC, 2 year Rescue Services (STKM1000400)

Arrived quickly and in great condition.This product is so easy to use and is brilliant for storing all my large Photoshop files. I drag and drop my files in, but it can also be used with Time Machine which is great.As a Mac user, I would definitely recommend it.

The first thing I was startled by on opening my new hard drive was the weight. Or rather, lack of. It's like a feather.This is doubly pleasant when you understand that this is, or at least seems to be, a 'spinner'/'platter' drive, to judge by the angelic hum it makes when writing data (the sound is there if you listen closely, but is in no way intrusive). Is that a bad thing? No! Spinner/platter drives are better than EMMC, for my purposes anyway, because they're a lot better at handling repeated writes than an EMMC drive. To qualify that, I purchased this item to store my expanding digital music collection, so I needed something both stable, and tolerant to lots of data writing; an EMMC drive is the former, but not the latter, though the quality does have a bearing.To really ice the cake, at least when I purchased, the drive came with two years' data recovery for free. There are some pieces in my collection which I won't be able to get back if the drive should fail; should that happen - which I hope it doesn't - then the manufacturers will sort it all out without asking me for a penny.The second thing that startled me was the size. For someone with small hands and Arthritis, it's perfect. I haven't taken a ruler to it, but it has about the same footprint as a tobacco tin. Gotta love miniaturisation!What's in the box?1 x USB external hard disk (size dependent on purchase); it's USB 3 compatible, as indicated by the blue bit in the connector, but it's also backward compatible with USB 21 x USB to custom USB connector cable1 x small amount of guide paperworkNo installer needed, no complicated instructions. The drive comes formatted as ExFAT, meaning it will work with nearly any computer (there is an exception where it will need re-formatting, but to be honest I've never heard of the system in question and anyway, it tells you as much in the guide paperwork). I just plugged it in, let the computer register it, and away I went. Considering my collection amounted to 122GB (and has grown since), and it barely made a dent, I'm happy that my music is secure and future-proof. As far as stability goes, only time will tell, but I've used this brand for micro SD cards in the past and never had trouble with them, so I'm confident.All in all, I can only call it a great package for a bargain price.

Great storage. Bought this as I needed a hard drive to store more of my client work, and for the cost of it, you cannot beat it.

I bought 2 of these and they are easy to use. I wanted to backup all my photos, so i needed 2 TB. All you need to do is drag and drop them.I did have some trouble with them at first. I was taking my backup from an old (9years) PC which stopped windows updates at Windows 10. I couldn’t read it on my Windows 11 laptop.I went back to my PC and copied my file from the first device onto the second one, which I could then read on my laptop. No logic to it, but it worked.

Got this for my university work, performance is great, easy to connect, great storage space and great durability. Very light and easy to use, comes with a USB so you might have to use an adaptor on some mac PC's.

I recently purchased the Seagate External Hard Drive, and it has exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I plugged it in, it worked flawlessly. The setup was incredibly easy—just plug and play. The transfer speeds are impressive, allowing me to move large files quickly without any hiccups.The build quality is solid, and it feels durable enough to withstand everyday use. With ample storage space, it has become an essential part of my backup routine. Whether I'm storing documents, photos, or videos, the performance is consistently reliable.Overall, I highly recommend the Seagate External Hard Drive to anyone in need of extra storage that performs perfectly from day one. It's a dependable and efficient solution for all your data storage needs.

Works perfectly to reduce storage on my mac lap top. Have moved a lot of files over to this External hard drive and find things are running a lot smoother now on the mac.

works as intended, even comes with the cable to plug into the back, great price and compatible with xbox and so on
