Great Harddrive, work just as expected and lots of space. If you have a mac, for some reason it would not dissconect properly, so you have to forcequit finder and then you can eject it.

Comments about Seagate 1TB Backup Plus Portable Drive USB 3.0 (Silver):
As most others on the internet have noted about this particular portable USB HD, there are few complaints I can bring against it. It's quiet/cool even after hours of being plugged in, works great with OS X's Time Machine as well as regular file backups, and is even smaller and lighter than expected. One thing I can't speak for is the stock Seagate software, which is easily removable after formatting. Also maybe wish it came with built-in Firewire compatibility instead of extensibility via costly adapters (this is a minor annoyance with a USB 3.0 drive, though).
