SeagateSTHN2000400 Backup Plus Slim 2TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD - Black USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 1 Year Mylio Create, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography

I work primarily on a PC but also have a Macbook to handle some encoding tasks on the go and I needed an external drive that would allow me to pack up my desktop projects for work on the road. I know there are ways to format any drive to work across platforms but I was looking for something that worked out of the box. Upon opening the package I immediately saved an aftereffects file to it off of my desktop PC and was able to open it no problem on my Macbook. No software to install, no formatting required, just plug and play. I should also note the form factor is good, slim and nicely brushed plastic. Probably not something I'd want to throw across the room but looks nice and gets the job done. We'll see how long it holds up and I haven't tested transfer speeds on larger files yet but for now I can safely recommend it based on functionality and price point alone.

I had this for coupme months and works great! Really fast on my xbox one s. It was able to transfer not ultra fast speed but it was fast for me to not be impatient to wait. Thankful for the hard drive easy use and no issue with it yet!! If cant afford 4gb hard drive this good for those who cant afford more expensive hard drive!! Highly recommend for xbox or laptop. It sucks i had format it to xbox and can't longer use it laptop or computer but thst fine cause main purpose i bought was for my console

This is really easy to use. It's another drive on your computer under the: this PC section on your files. It gets plugged in with only a usb so it's easy to use and take with you as it could technically fit in your pocket.

This is very straightforward. I needed something that I could use both at home and work interchangeably as I use Windows for work and Mac at home. This seemed like the solution. Got this in Jan. 2020, here we are in August 2020, no issues, works great. I am purchasing another at the max 5TB available as it only slightly over $100. No regrets, this is a perfect, low cost solution when using multiple OSes, no partitioning required.

It was not especially difficult to set up the Seagate Backup Plus Slim for use by Time Machine, on our 2014 MacBook running OS 10.9. I have used it also after I upgraded the laptop to OS 10.12. A quirk I didn't expect was the laptop must be using the AC adapter or Time Machine won't back up to the drive. It limits this method's usefulness for a laptop compared to for a desktop computer.I have used it a few months and it seems to work fine, although I haven't tried to retrieve anything yet from the drive. All I have to do is just plug the drive and the power supply, of course, into the Macbook. However, one time I plugged the drive in only to find later that it wasn't communicating with the computer. After I unplugged the drive and plugged it back in, it was fine. The takeaway is to verify by looking for the drive's icon on the desktop. On the other hand, I once left the drive upside down, and it still seemed to work okay. But I wouldn't recommend doing it.The 2 TB is more than we need for this laptop. I had wondered whether I could partition the disk and use it to back up with Time Machine on 2 Macs. But I didn't expect it, and it doesn't seem possible since Time Machine reformats the whole disk as a single volume.I'm pleased with the purchase, though, were I to get another external drive for a Macbook, I might see whether a LaCie would be more advantageous.

Needed more space & this worked out great!

Purchased for my xbox one because I only have 500GB of storage and my friends like to hop around on different games. I hated having to uninstall/reinstall different games just to play with them. And that's not included my own games that I play alone, as well.Hooked it up to the xbox via the one of the usb ports on the back side and the xbox prompted me to format the harddrive for gaming use. Instantly started downloading all of my games and had no issues!I will say, at first I couldn't get the external harddrive to turn off when I would turn off my xbox. The secret is going to your system settings and selecting "turn off storage when xbox is off" and also going to the updates/downloads setting and turning off "auto update console" and "auto update games/apps". The auto updates/downloads options are directly linked to your games, which, if they're on your external harddrive, they need to be accessible, i.e. the harddrive needs to be on or on standby (the light will be on).After I finished the above-mentioned settings, I turned my xbox off (on standby, NOT hard shutdown). I noticed the harddrive light wasn't turning off so then I did a hard shutdown and I think that's when the settings really were executed. Now the harddrive stays off when xbox is off/on standby.It also does not overheat. It gets a little warm, which is expected, but never too hot to the touch or anything. I'm definitely happy with this purchase because it's made my "gaming life" a lot more convenient/efficient and I've already recommended it to my friends.

This pocket drive is super easy to use, quality made, has plenty of space in which to backup your files, and is lightening fast on retrieving and backing up files. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

matériel "recertified" vendu pour du neuf et qui lâche en plus en quelques heures

I have used an older Seagate drive to back up files etc,I purchased this bigger capacity one as I ran out of space in the other one.It is plug and play and was up and running within seconds of unboxing it.I have had no problems so far and if it is anything like my older one it should perform flawlessly.I would recommend it and would definitely buy another.

Ottimo... capiente e veloce nel trasferire file (usb3)... Prodotto come da descrizione

It's fast, works well and not noisy at all.

2.5インチHDDだとUSB給電だけで動作して配線がすっきりするので、TV録画用のHDDとして以下の点から購入しました。・放熱に優れるアルミ製・2TBの2.5インチHDDとしては安い価格・HDDの大手製造メーカーSeagateは自作PC界隈だと微妙に評価低いですが、現時点では動作は全く問題ありません。よってアルミの放熱と価格で満足しているのでレビューも満点にしておきますが、もし故障が発生したらここにすぐ追記します。追記が無いということは、購入から無事に動いていると解釈してください。
