> 3 dayI have had to go to snapshot only function to make it trustworthy. The software for the device often fails to recognize the computer when I plug it back in, the device itself had to be scanned and repaired, and it fails to properly update files when I activate it. Ive had other Seagate Drives that were OK. Im sure my experience isnt average for the device. I have about 35 years experience including college training in computers, software, and have continuously used a wide variety of programs/apps on multiple higher end computers and laptops. Some of my files are highly proprietary, valuable, and not reproducible other than from backup, so I need a fully dependable backup systems. Of course, I do multiple backups periodically, one other is an automatic system which to date, has been flawless. For me, this device is my least favorite ever. I do have a much earlier La Cie (ca 2005), same company, which has been great and still functions as a tertiary file cabinet.

> 3 dayFirst thing I did was drop this on the floor several times. However, its continued to work perfectly. It wasnt completely my fault, though, that I dropped it. USB-C adapter that came with it is almost impossible to insert in my Macs USB-C port. I ended up not using the adapter and instead plugging the drive into a USB port on a new hub that I bought.

> 3 dayMost drives have you charge an exorbitant sum of money for stuff like extra hardware protection, better storage space, and faster uploading speeds, but heres the deal: if you dont need to be constantly on the go at all times, this drive is more than satisfactory for storing and saving files. Im a video editor and I primarily use this drive to keep all my projects when Im not editing any of them, so it sits right next to my computer. I havent had any problems so far in a year of using it- very satisfying!

> 3 dayI love Seagate. Been relying on them for years, to backup My data. I only had to replace My other Seagate because it fell out of compatibility with newer tech - not because it broke down. And the new one has been flawless, as well. Customer Service is responsive, friendly, helpful, and supportive. Setup was easy. Maintaining it - effortless. It works in silence, and gives Me the storage capacity I need. I love it.

> 3 dayI just needed to free up space on my hard drive. The bundled backup software really slowed my machine down. Without it, the drives work fine as a place to put files I do not want on my own hard drive.

> 3 dayI read many reviews of multiple products and since many products are quite comparable I used this as the deal breaker. Read that I would not need to reformat but that is totally incorrect. Just spent the required 50 mins (includes the hold time) working with tech asst to reformat so I can begin to use this product. Tech asst was very good and we got through it but it was not how I wanted to spend my time and not what I believed I would need to do. Since I am now just waiting on the backup I have no other review of this product.

Greater than one weekThis model uses an outdated micro USB-b cable that is both slower than the drive and is easily damaged... Go with the new Seagate with USB c port
