[0.825 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this my my teen daughter that is constantly having to remove and re-download games to her X-Box due to lack of space. She also drags down the internet when she does this! I decided to get her an external hard drive to avoid that. She said it’s working great! It doesn’t take long to access her already downloaded games. She did say the device could be a little noisy at times, but can block that out easily. She said it does heat up a bit, but not too bad. It doesn’t take up a lot of space either so that is definitely a plus. I would recommend. 5

[5 TB] Seems best to start Windows first and then plug USB in to avoid error RECOGNITION. Only have had for 2 weeks, hopefully it won't have issues later. Using the Original packaging to store it for now, but it deserves a proper case. Maybe next month. Storing and accessing media for DVD burner, no problems. 5

[5 TB] First off I have always likes Seagates quality in their HDD. This drive model is no exception. My seagates run circles around my WD's are cheaper for the same capacity and last longer. This last purchase was to copy the info from my two oldest WD drives and consolidate them. I would highly recomend this drive model as it really is cheaper in the long run and is quite affordable for 5 TB storage. 5

[5 TB] I bought this hard drive to store movies on and it worked great for this. I love the LED Band in the front and how you can change the colors and effects with the Seagate software. The hard drive is pretty fast too, only taking a few minutes to copy a HD movie from my PC. 5
