Seagate: Another Big Company Turns Crooked
Aside from being formatted as exFAT by default, this drive will only function as NTFS when formatted under Linux, without ever being used under Windows, or you will lose -- in addition to the enhanced stability and security of a fixed, non-virtual file system -- the ability to transfer files of 4 GB or more to it. This can only mean that Seagate and M$ have gotten together to use the firmware of Seagate's equipment to sabotage it on behalf of the entertainment industry, based on the premise that the smaller the files consumers are limited to, the less chance of them acquiring bootleg, high quality movies and hence the greater the potential profits for the movie industry. When big companies start deciding that it's profitable to collude together to sabotage the equipment of consumers, the only safe recourse is to jump ship and take your chances with open source software exclusively, regardless of any obstacles created by M$ and its myriad partners. For the past several years, I was willing to give M$ another try following some dozen years or so being an exclusive Linux user after my disastrous experiences with WinME and WebTV (which I had the misfortune to buy in '99, shortly after M$ acquired it from Sony

    Excellent!
    Bought the item to store the photos from my old laptop. Ordered online and the delivery was fairly quickly. The set up is very easy - plug in and start transferring files in a matter of minutes. FYI, the USB cable included is about 4 inches, USB 3.0 and, the one end of it is not the typical USB shape - see attached photo.

    Works as Expected. Thanks
    Already had one just like this - it got filled up. Arrived quickly (Thank You), hooked it up, formatted (using windows 10 (for now - soon to switch to Linux). And began saving documentary videos on it (I'm a big History Buff).

    Perfect For Safe Storage
    I have used this brand as my back up for years. I bought a 5TB and this 2TB at the same time. The 5TB is for everything, home, business, etc. This 2TB is for my graphics and business info. I love the portability and ease of use with this brand and after many years of use without a single problem, I trust them.

    Reliable and Easy
    I take a lot of photos and videos and because of this I need something that I can rely on to store all of my memories and important documents. The Seagate portable expansion works perfectly and I can rest assured that my documents are safe. This expansion is easy to set up and use and has plenty of storage space. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs more storage and backups for their memories and documents. This expansion has really helped me feel more confident and comfortable with my photos, video and other documents.

    A must have!
    This is very easy to hook up. After plugging into your computer, go to your File Explorer, under the Your PC section you'll see your external hard drive and in there you'll see a file to open up to register and find out how to use. Very fast and simple, I have great peace of mind knowing my files are secure. I definitely recommend.

    Effective
    This Seagate Expansion Portable Hard drive is awesome. It received it in 2TB of storage which is just perfect for my family. My son will be heading back to school and he also has games that need storage as well. I am also able to store my important documents and pictures in this handy hard drive. It works extremely well and is basically plug and play. Whether you are using a PC or MAC set up is very easy. I usually use Samsung storage however the Seagate was just as easy to maneuver. My family and I are very impressed and happy with this product.

    Worked great for my playstation
    We recently ran out of room on our PlayStation and the two options was to change out the internal drive for a bigger drive or add and external hard drive and for me the external hard drive seemed to be an easier option and this was so easy to set up. Setting this up only took a minute and it just going to the PlayStation devices and formatting the device and then changing the setting so the any new games and app would be installed on the hard drive. Another plus with the external hard drive when I'm not using it on the PlayStation I can also use it to save important documents so that I have back ups and because the hard drive is so small I can easily grab it and toss it in my purse, it is literally about the size of my hand so it is super portable. Also space wise this is really quiet enough for a ton of files and games as it's about six times the space my PlayStation has on it to begin with so I feel like it will take me awhile to fill up. Overall I'm really happy with the external harddrive and think it's definitely useful to have.

    Works great
    This external hard drive is quite portable, it's sleek and simple. Great for on the go stuff! I personally use it for my laptop but can be used on desktop as well. It uses a USB 2.0 and 3.0. It has auto back up if set right when registering it. It also allows the drag and drop file saving that many of us has used in past. There is a limited warranty and a rescue data recovery service.

    Incredibly simple way to add storage
    My husband has wanted extra storage in the xbox one so we decided to try this out and see how it worked. I am happy to say it is perfect for what we need and super simple set up. First off it was ready to go out of the box. We plugged it into the xbox where it prompted us to format it. Two clicks and it was formatted. We set it to download all games to it and it was ready. Downloading a new game had no issues either. The whole thing took just a minute or two to be ready to go. We now have plenty of extra space for downloading games and don't have to keep deleting games for the kids and adults to have room. Over all super simple and just right for us. I am very pleased. There is no lag playing either. I also like how small it is. It sits on top of the console just right
