Seagate One Touch SSD 2TB External SSD Portable – Blue, speeds up to 1030MB/s, 6mo Mylio Photo+ subscription, 6mo Dropbox Backup Plan​ and Rescue Services (STKG2000402)

I love this drive. I keep it almost permanently plugged in for TimeShift backups on my Linux desktop, and have a partition for personal files. (At one time I used it on my Windows PC as well) It's been great for nearly a year now, never any errors or issues. The design is nice, though I really wish it had a longer cord, because the tiny one is awful for long-term use. It is really portable when I need it to be. It connects with no issues, even when I took it to another computer. Of all the portable SSDs I've owned, this is my favorite.

Excellent SSD, compact size, good performance over sustained writes (no overheating or throttling like I have experienced with other brands), fast and convenient to use.

Love this thing it hold all my photos, videos, notes. It still has plenty of space left! Easy to use as well. Great for storing custom content for games too.

This is my favorite go-to for SSD hard drives. I have a ton of these and they have never let me down. For me, they have worked every time. I'm a professional photographer and I use a new one every year for my business. Now that I've been using them for several years, I've backed them up, and will be wiping them clean and re-using them for following years. They are extremely fast, make zero noise, and require next to nothing instillation. Its size and sexy design is great. I love these little drives. I hope they start making them in 4TB.

It was a lot smaller than I expected, which is fantastic and doesn't take up any space at all in my bag

I am loving this drive! It's way smaller than my last drive (previously I had a WD drive that was about the size of my full hand - this Seagate drive is about the size of my palm - even a little smaller) but it has twice the storage capacity! I also love that I can use this like a giant flash drive and just drag & drop files onto it without having to run backup software that takes an eternity. Granted, it still took an eternity to transfer nearly 1TB of data onto this new drive once I got it, but I just let it run overnight and it was done well before I woke up. I haven't activated the Toolkit software that lets you sync folders for backup purposes, but I don't know if I will or not. I kind of like just being able to drag and drop in the files that I know I want to save instead of having my computer hang onto backup versions of literally everything on my computer. All in all, this seems like a good drive. I'll probably be buying another Seagate drive in the future whenever this one gets full.

The 1TB capacity is as advertised, but the access speed is not. The website claims read speeds of up to 1030MB/s, but actual read and write speeds are both between 35 and 40MB/s.

Was skeptical when I reviewed tech specs and operation. Opened up package and was operating withing 15 minutes. Product worked as described. Great small size. Quiet and ease of operation. Great value for your docs and especially pics.
