Great Product
I like the idea that it is solid state with no moving parts. It worked great after an easy start up.

Seagate Expansion SSD 500GB Solid State Drive USB 3.0
Works great--constant back-up so I don't have to think about it.

Serves its purpose ...
Currently have it on my PS4 Slim as Extended Storage and its saturating the USB Bus quit nicely at about 150MB a second which compliments the Seagate Baracuda 500GB SATA SSD that's already inside the unit. Eventually this SSD will move over to my PC and either become a portable Linux Mint drive or a file server on my router.

Daughter installed it. Haven't really used it yet but am more comfortable with knowing that a computer crash won't result in lost info.

OK
First there is a discrepancy in the description: staples.com says "READ Speed 400 - 499 MBps" The packaging box says: "TRANSFER Speed up to 480 MBps". So who doesn't know what they're talking about and misleading the customers ??? Second "TRANSFER Speed up to 480 MBps" is a MAJOR OVERSTATEMENT ! Actual xfer rate via USB 3.0 port in Windows NTFS is 60 TIMES SLOWER - A...

Totally awesome
I have always trusted the seagate name but had been hesitant about upgrading wit an exterodrive I have to be honest the seagate 500 gb was an excellent investment.I love the freedom to just unplug from usb and .knowing my data is safe.I noticed an immediate increase in reading and writing in my lap top I am very satisfied as usual.

Works
It did what I needed it to do. Of course solid state is the way to go. Price on sale was good I think.

Works great
This is a great addition to my new computer. It's fast and I can't believe how small it is. I'll probably pick up another one in the future.

Great Storage Device!
Great Storage Device but I wish I would have bout at least a 2tb but there quite expensive but besides those issues it works great and can connect and disconnect easily just shut down your system then move its USB and install it on the other device and start that computer up and it will not cause any memory loss! Thanks Seagate I like the 3yr warranty as well!

500G SSS Seagate External Memory
Easy to install; just have it for a week. I thought this is better than the cloud offered as cloud seems to slowdown PC ops.

Works as expected
I've been using this on my laptop for the last month. Its worked great for storing pictures and svgs. Its helped speed up my laptop and definitely reliable. I originally tried this on our playstation 4 and it worked well but decided to switch to the laptop since I was low on space.
