This is a great drive. It is fast, silent, and seems to be reliable. It works well with my PC and Laptop. However, there are two minor quirks. 1)I use an IBM Thinkpad X31 laptop. When I boot up with the Seagate drive plugged into my USB port, my IBM system won't boot up unless the Seagate drive is disconnected. I changed my BIOS boot priorities to ignore the Seagate drive, but that didn't work. 2) The drive comes with two "pigtails" on the USB cable. One "pigtail" is labelled data + power, the other pigtail is labelled power only. It seems like this drive may consume more power than other drives and Seagate was forced to add an additional pigtail to draw power from a second USB port. Apparently, my PC's USB port provides enough power so the 2nd "pigtail" isn't used.
If you want a good, reliable drive, you can't go wrong with a Seagate drive.
