I have always been fascinated by the wonders of technology, how it can store and access the memories of our lives with a click of a button, how it can connect us with distant lands and people, how it can create and transform beauty. That is why I was delighted to purchase the Seagate Backup Plus Slim, an external hard drive for Mac and Windows that offers 2TB of space for photos and files. This device is not only a practical tool, but also a stylish accessory. It has a minimalist brushed metal enclosure that reflects the light and the colors of its surroundings. It is slim and light, easy to carry around and fit into any bag or pocket. It is also simple to use just plug it into a computer via the included USB 3.0 cable, and you can back up your files with a single click or schedule automatic backups. You can also reformat it for use with Time Machine if you have a Mac. But what really impressed me about this product was the complimentary subscription to Mylio Create and the membership to Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan that came with it. These are two amazing software that allow you to edit, manage, and share your photos with ease and flair. You can enhance your images with filters, effects, and adjustments, organize them into albums and collections, and share them with your friends and family on social media or cloud services. You can also access your photos from any device, anywhere, anytime. With the Seagate Backup Plus Slim, I feel like I have a mini studio in my hands. I can capture the moments that matter to me, store them safely and securely, and express my creativity with them. I can also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the 2-year limited warranty that covers any defects or malfunctions. This product has exceeded my expectations and enriched my life. It is a marvel of modern technology that I would recommend to anyone who loves photography, art, or simply keeping their files organized and accessible. It is a product that Virginia Woolf would have admired, for she wrote: “The beauty of the world…has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.” The Seagate Backup Plus Slim helps me preserve both edges of beauty, the laughter and the anguish, the joy and the sorrow, the light and the dark. It helps me keep my heart whole. Read more
I needed a new external hard drive right away because my old one was totally corrupted. This model was recommended for my needs by an AppleCare Advisor. I received it in less than a day with free shipping which was great. It is small, good looking and light and takes up very little space on my computer table. Installing the device was easy and it did a full backup immediately and has been reliable ever since. My computer is a mac which has the feature Time Machine that sends data hourly. So far so good after just over a month but.....it's too soon to make a final evaluation. Read more

I am happy with my purchase. Just what I needed. I don't know how long until it breaks, but every HDD I have ever gotten has broke after a while of use. So I would never trust the only copy of files on this. But as place to store many files and give me quick easy access, it works fantastic. Read more
I have several Seagate external HD's ranging from 5TB - 16TB, but I gotta say, this 2 TB HD really amazed ;me. First, when I got it, I was expecting the standard brick, which it's not, it's very thin and super light weight. There's no A/C adaptor & the drive operates with just a standard USB 3.0 plugged into your computer. Larger Seagate external HD's are formatted for NTFS (used for streaming), this HD is exFAT, and is more suited for using as a back up for music, small video, text and pic files. I'm not sure if doing a disc reformatting that it would give an NTFS option, I'm sure it probably would.. but honestly, considering my bad luck with a few other external HD's in the past few years, I didn't really want to press my luck trying to find out. I've used this 2 TB EX HD every day for the past seven months, with no issues. I've received no errors whenever it's been connected. It's fast, very dependable - no lagging or freezing up, and I simply love it - I would have to give this drive 5 Stars. I highly recommend this drive. Read more
I have almost a terabyte of family history stored on drives and I need something reliable to make sure it doeesn't get lost. After I had a WD drive fail on me for no reason (wasn't dropped, wasn't kept hot, was only used once a month or so), I knew I had to go back to something I could rely on. At 2TB, this has plenty of storage space for many digital memories for the future, and of all the backup drives I've owned, Seagate is the only one I've never had a problem with. Speeds are fast with the USB 3.0 connector. The drive is very slim (same width as a 1TB WD drive) and the brushed finish is a nice touch. Read more
Got it for the PS4 to store games and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Very convenient. Also, the power went out, and I was concerned that my storage would be fried when I booted it up and it asked me if I wanted to repair the unit...luckily, it doesn't delete/corrupt the files. So 100/100 Read more
