Highlights
Quality
Super durable as i’ve had it for years and am just now reviewing it
It is very quick and easy for disk utility to erase and format properly

And this was really good for the price
It is worth buying for the price amazon had the cheapest price for one of these
Shipping
The item arrived well packaged and delivery was very quick
Received on time followed online instructions to partition the drive and complete setup

Now i have many of seagate hard drives it’s a brand i trust and has lasted longer than most other hard drives
I do not know if that is slow compared to similar drives but its something to keep in mind if you know more about that than i do
