My daughter has a lot of data that needs storage-pictures and audio plus video files, so she got seagate HDD 1.5 TB recently. she is very happy with it. it has complete storage space, very easy to store, it is very fast also, it does not hang or crash in the middle of transfer process, it becomes little hot when in use but then instantly cools too, it is compatible with new laptops plus old desktops too, it is all round great and value for money, it also has backup to store data in case of any emergency.
