I was quite happy to find out how quiet this drive is. I also love the idea that it automatically powers up with the computer its connected to. This unit is still smaller than my 5 year old 1TB drive. The only thing I can complain about is the fact is comes in NTFS file format. Any Mac users know this will not work well for you. Being I have Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, I formatted it to exFAT. The NTFS file system did not want me to allow my Mac to reformat it though. It required using the Terminal to get full control of the drive to reformat. For most Windows users, they will never care about what I mentioned above. Mac users though are probably already used to this. Being FAT32 supports up to an 8TB partition, I wish anything 5TB and under came in that format though. I recommend this drive. It's quite, compact, looks appealing, and has USB 3.0.Read full review

Seagate is well-known for manufacturing fast, reliable hard drives. I use this Expansion 5 TB drive to back up my desktop and to keep an extra set of my music, pics, and videos in case my media only drive (also Seagate 5 TB external drive) craps out on me. Both are extremely quite and I haven't had a bit of trouble out of either of them.
