I needed something to store all my old trips and vacation photos, which were approaching the 1T mark. This had more than enough space, so I can keep adding to it. When I hooked it up and transferred the files, it was amazingly fast, less than 40 minutes. It was so fast I was afraid it had skipped subfolders, but they were all there. Note- I never trust anything- important photos are backed up 3 ways. I may have to buy another one!

The drive, works great for storing photos. I also like the fact that I can share the drive between two computers.

This is a terrific device for the external storage/back up solutions! Sam's shipped it overnight and the price is right for the total amount of storage.

I've had several of these and they are real workhorses!

I have had no problems with the three 1TB Seagates I have had and used for over 3 years. Since I needed to have a fourth storage disk, I went with the larger 2TB version.

Extraordinary care

Relatively easy to use if someone helps.

Seagate's One Touch external hard drive takes almost no effort to set up and use. Once a backup schedule is selected there is literally nothing you have to do. I have my unit set for continuous update, so anytime a file is added, modified or deleted, the One Touch notifies me that the backup is complete. I think One Touch is more secure and easier to use than cloud storage. My only suggestion is that the 'Tool Kit' could benefit by adding more user options than it currently has.

It would be nice to have simple instructions telling you how to use it. I think what I wanted backed up is on it but don't know how to look at the information. I want to transfer the info to a new computer but again no instructions telling me how to do that. You will need to know how to use it before you purchase it because it is not user friendly. At least not a non technical user.

Transferring my files took 15 hours, so I went to bed. In the morning, all of the files were gone, and the hard drive was no longer recognized. Everything was lost.
