Review: NICE HD! NEVER FAILS! - Some Background: ive always been an seagate user since my old external drive that nedded power to work burnt on a voltage overload and it survived! the overload just fried the case of the drive all date was there! THANKS SEAGATE! 1TB back in that time was like A LOT!. and now i hook it into my pc and use it as a regular HD. been more than 5 years since that overload and i just took it out of my pc not because it failed, just because i bought an SSD. so it worked flawlesly! now lying on a desk with some old data. In the meantime i bought one seagate backup plus 500GB red, ill never forget because it had the ability to swap the usb cable from USB 2.0 to 3.0 with a little upgrade. it worked great until some guy decided to stole it... Ive had a few other internal drives of course. So as you can see ive been a long time seagate user. Actual Review: This drive performs great! just as the USB 2.0 version i had back in the day... some might think that 500GB its not to much, and i agree, but as i learnt after my last HD got stolen, NEVER EVER USE AN EXTERNAL DRIVE AS A BACKUP OF YOUR STUFF! never do this! you can drop it, lose it, broke it... and if you do use it for backup keep it always stored safe, dont use it to traverl and transfer all kind of things all the time. I bought this version because im always moving data from a pc to another, and since theres almost no archives larger than 500GB i figure this would be enough. been with me like 1 year and no problems at all i really recommend seagate as a brand, the pricing is ok and they have nice warranty on every product.
Review: Great high-speed drive, great value - Awesome product, great price! In USB 3.0 (super-speed) mode, you can get 100MB/sec transfer rates. That's about the speed of most internal hard drives these days. This product is reliable, small, and lightweight. It supports ATA security features as well. If you don't have SS USB, it works in USB 2.0 (high speed) mode. I'm not a masochist, so haven't tried it in full speed USB mode, but I wouldn't doubt it would fall back to that mode if that's all that was available. I've tried using this product with a USB 2.0 hub and also with a USB extension cable: it does not work with either. I'm not taking away a star for that, just an observation.

A: 1.5 TB drives come with 1.5 TB (1,500 GB) of space.

### ⭐⭐⭐ USB is a bit slower than Thunder Drive
*by N***L on June 3, 2014*

I just purchased this drive for my personal use and the G Drive Thunderdrive for my work computer. This drive was half the cost of the G Drive Thunderdrive that I purchased on the Apple website. This drive was half the cost but also took 10x longer to back up the computer. Granted, I do have more files on my home computer (photos, etc) but it took really, really long to back up via TimeMachine. I would recommend the Thunderdrive G Drive over this drive if you can afford it as the Time Machine backup takes 2-3 seconds and the initial backup takes a couple of minutes. The USB is pretty slow but I still give it 3 stars because the price is pretty good for the amount of storage that you get though it takes a while to backup.
