SeagateUltra Touch HDD 2TB External Hard Drive - 7mm, Cloud White, Post-Consumer Recycled Material, 6mo Dropbox and Mylio, Rescue Services (STMA2000400)

While I have a desktop, I have and use 2 laptops, on for work and the other for personal use. I use this drive for Time Machine backups and archiving my downloads folders. I always set up my external drives for us on a Mac. That process is quick! Now, this drive isn't speedy if you are transferring terabytes of data to it? But when doing off loading and Time Machine backups, this drive does the job! If I fill this drive up before the end of the year? I will purchase another, organize the files by month and year. Portability is great, as long as you purchase a hard case for this product! I have MVME SSD drives I use for traveling with.

I'm using this for more than a year. It's fast, reliable, and this specific texture looks classy to me!

Plug and play. Great back up drive. Recently retired and had tons of files to back up from my 25yrs - this drive worked great.

This HDD works beautifully from the get go without totally needing a powered external USB but you might want one. Quiet operation and quickly moves data. Shipping is quick and easy in as the precision storage comes in an easy to open bare cardboard envelope without padding. Totally recommended!

The USB C connector is a great benefit of the Seagate Ultra Touch HDD 5TB. Most portable drives like this use a USB Micro B connector on the drive. The USB Micro B connector has a long history of early failures due to a design which is not very strong and a wide profile that allows the user to apply a force with leverage that over time breaks wires in the connector. For some reason, typical reviewers of portable HDDs focus on cost only and ignore this problem with USB Micro B connectors. For Windows users, save yourself some future trouble and format as NTFS. The NTFS format allows some file types that the default exFAT format cannot handle. When you back up a large collection of files, there is a good chance that there are one or more files that exFAT does not handle.

This drive is a little more expensive but the speeds are worth it! Love it!

I received the drive and it continually threw up file errors regardless of the computer or cable I used.Called tech support who confirmed it was defective. Was told they would ship one in7-10 days, and then I would ship the bad one back. No one said shipping would be at my expense.Called 15 days later about not receiving the replacement. Was first told, 'Well RMA was only created 2 days ago, you need to give us time.' I provided proof of the original conversation that it had been OVER 15 days. Then they switched tack, and told me I had to ship it to them, first, on my own dime (contradicting their 1st set of instructions) before they'd send out a replacement.At this point, I realized I could just ship it back to Amazon FOR FREE and take the credit and buy a drive from a different manufacturer. Of course, I could have shipped it back to Amazon for free, and asked for a replacement as well (but they had pissed me off by this point). So, in the future, why bother to even use technical support for a defective product when I can get it more easily replaced through Amazon itself?Charging clients to ship back a defective product should be illegal. If it is defective, return shipping should be on Seagate's dime, not mine.

First I love the compact size and then the price for 2T is very good. It wasn't hard to set up with my MacBookPro. Once I went through the downloaded installer and was able to go to the Time Machine in my system preferences and check this as my preferred backup device. The first backup is a little over one hour but I have a lot to download so the time to do this is fine with me. I also liked the fact that it came with a USB-C adaptor so I didn't have to go to an Apple dongle. I have used G Drives in the past but the prices are extremely high now if all you are doing is backing up to your personal computer. I am not a tech savvy person but I didn't need any tech support to get this running.

The back up drive connects directly to the PC USB port without the need of electrical outlet. The software is easy to program for daily, weekly or monthly schedules. It's very compact for a 2 Terabyte hard drive.

Back up my entire data within a day without any issue.I had a few Seagate portable HD before, this one is the most elegant one. Also, it comes with UBS-c cable.Bonus

El mejor disco duro que he comprado. Estético, práctico y muy seguro. No se desbloquea mas que con mi computadora.

Facil de usar, no se necesita instalador los adaptadores funcionan muy bien. Vale la inversion

funziona bene, veloce e leggero
