Cons

Seagate media app for ipad is wonderful when it works, and beyond frustrating when it doesn't. The wifi interface to browse from ipads/iphones is very slow/sluggish. This is clearly not designed for the mac, and shouldn't be used on it. It is blatantl...  Read More

The functionality of this drive is essentially no more than a wireless thumb drive. The wireless option is flimsy and unreliable, and so is the on/off button. Then it gets stuck in usb. However in order for it to communicate with your system you have ...  Read More

Quality


Nice to have the wifi capability, works fine to store movies on then cast them to a chromecast using an iphone.


The device creates its own hotspot and you can stream content to up to 5 devices without jittery or buffering issues.


Seagate is kind enough to provide constant updates for the app and the battery life simply doesn't degrade!


In this case, the case logic qhdc-101 portable eva hard drive case - black does not fit this hard drive.

Price


Very happy with the price and product.


Happy with the price for a 1tb drive and occasional wireless movie playing - no more dragging the laptop upstairs to connect via hdmi.


Not cheap, but if you want to watch movies on a kindle or you want a communal movie store with your friends or family, this is ...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Glad to see that you have that in five different languages within the enclosed getting started pamphlet.

Competitiveness


This is very similar to the goflex which i have used for the past couple years.


After reading other reviews online, i do not place the seagate hd inbetween my devices and my modem/router.


Same deal with chromecast audio and echo dot read about trying to change the modem settings and i called verizon and they sent ...  Read More

    As i was frustrated the other day working with a onedrive product from the same manufacturer that is literally 5 times the capacity of this little drive and yet i had still managed to fill it up and needed to expand to a second one to hold what didnt fit on the first one its easy to think that a 1 tb portable hard drive isnt all that big but back in 2013 when i got and initially reviewed this thing that wasnt the case


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Most laptops and even desktops back then were still regularly found with gigabytes of capacity and not necessarily terabytes of capacity


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Magically move files through the air and avoid that direct connection


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cant say that was better than hooking up directly in fact it wasnt the greatest and was more of a gimmick in my mind but it was an added feature


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Large capacity is appreciated especially given drive is relatively smallrecommended


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I ordered this portable hard drive for wireless streaming and file transfer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The biggest issue is the 10 hour battery


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was draining after about 34 hours
