Eh
It came formatted as exFAT, along with a 200MB EFI partition. To get the extra capacity I had to do a lot more work then I wanted too. Plus they waste time and money adding dumb offers on the drive that also take up a small amount of space.

Decent product
Does the job needed. Not the easiest thing to set up though, especially if you want to partition the drive.

Works very well
It does what it's supposed to do at a very reasonable price. If I hadn't needed the drive immediately, I would have waited for the availability of a 3.2 USB model, since that would make a real difference in a 5 TB drive. That's not Seagate's fault, though.

Great for storing a large amount of files and not cluttering up your computer.

Encryption software problem
The main problem is that the encryption evidently is not done entirely in the device and requires software that is not a device driver. That means that the device is initially unavailable every time the system boots, even if it is from hibernation. That causes problems; eventually the recycle bin got corrupted.
The Seagate backup software is useless; it has very few fe...

Secure and portable
Love this little external hard drive! Easy to travel with if necessary and doesn't take up a lot of desk space when connected to a laptop. Cable is long enough to give you some placement options, too.

Ran out of Space
As I was running out of space in the cloud and it seemed a good idea to get my second Seagate external hard drive. The first one was 2 TB and as it was not enough space I bought a 5 TB and hope it will be enough for a while. They are easy to register and to use. They are also physically small enough to take them with me if I so choose.

Died after 5 years
Unfortunately, after 5 year of not that heavy use, it is now dying. Transfer speed is terrible (1 or 2 mb) and not even sustained.

Great for videopgraphers
I keep several of these on hand for video shoots. They are easily storable units that hold a lot of data. I normally have one per year, and I just bought one to help me back up all my old laptops and hard drives.

A very good external HDD
This is my second one. They are very reliable and does not require a secondary power source. The drive is small, so it can be placed anywhere.
