Seagate Portable External Hard Drive (USB 3.0)
- The storage capacity, and portability are their biggest pros.
- It's cheap, and large capacity that's the only thing it has going for it.
- Product is used to store digital images. Very good capacity, good write speed, extremely easy setup.
- It’s high capacity & fairly fast when connected to a USB 3.0 port. And it was a low price per two gigabyte. So I recommend it.
- I started populating drive with all my stuff until I encountered some errors while writing on it. I did a surface scan using SeaTools utility and found the hard drive failing on some tests.

Seagate Portable External Hard Drive (USB 3.0)
- Fast write and read speeds. This is amazing. I recommend this product.
- It is compatible with Apple and Microsoft products and can be password protected. Very good product and true to the description.
- I'm a huge fan of these for backup drives. Small, cheap, portable. I can buy two and have redundant backups in case one fails and it doesn't cost and arm and a leg.
- The physical size of the drive makes it handy and when I am doing a great deal of photoshop illustration work, I don't have to worry about file size nor storage.
- Supplied USB 3.0 cord is short. Got a 6ft USB cord from JSAUX.
- Very disappointed to find, despite the description that this hard drive is not suitable for Mac.
