I am using a 2TB size, and since I only have a 500GB (0.5TB) drive in my Mac, I only need about 1 TB of space to be able to provide plenty of backup space and history (and probably not that much). So if I ONLY had wanted to use it for the Time Capsule application, just the 1TB would have been fine.
But on the Mac it is VERY easy to partition the drive into two separate drives. Just Google the topic for detailed instructions, but basically you just plug in the drive (using the included USB cable), go to your Disk Utilities application, add a partition (I just split mine into two 1 TB drives), then go to Time Capsule and pick one of the partitions to use, and you are done - literally took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish, and I'm a relatively new Mac user.
So I now have two drives that show up on my desktop: one for backup / Time Capsule, and the other as just a giant 1TB storage area. The drive runs off of the USB power supply, so for performance and power reasons you probably should run this drive directly from a USB port coming from your machine (versus a hub). Overall I am very happy - this is a great piece of mind AND extra storage area for the money.
Since I've had this drive for less than a month, I can't speak to its reliability. I'm also not sure about performance; my 2011 iMac only supports USB 2.0, which is definitely the bottleneck in this case. I can say that it's working well so far, it's very quiet, and it's tiny--much smaller than the FreeAgent Go, which was already pretty portable. One other thing to keep in mind: According to The Wirecutter, you should avoid the 4TB model (known as the Seagate Backup Plus Fast) because it is significantly less reliable. Fortunately for me, 2TB should hold me for the foreseeable future.
Based on other very helpful reviews I didn't bother installing any of Seagate's software. It seems odd that a drive that that is so compatible with Macs has software included that is only fully functional with Windows computers. If Seagate issues an update that gives Mac users the same function as PC users, I may decide to install it after all. But in the meantime, getting a 1TB drive with USB 3.0 for $69.99 makes me very happy. And it has a 2 year warranty!
The Hard drive performed flawlessly, despite receiving a dent in the silver side of it, and falling OUT of a car while attached to the MacBook Pro (Which received a dent as well on the corner.) Car was not moving. I opened the door and everything fell out. The plug going into the hard drive got bent when it impacted the pavement, but the Seagate still performs flawlessly. I filmed so much video on the trip that I almost filled this little hard drive up. Highly recommended, Very tough little unit.
Top reviews from other countries
Transferí 136Gb del disco duro (WD) a este (Seagate) en apenas 18 minutos a velocidades entre 110 Mb/s y 100Mb/s, el Seagate se siente que vibra mucho más y se calienta demasiado. Aunque realmente no me importa eso, puede ser factor de decisión para su uso y vida útil.
El cable es color negro (y feo la verdad) a diferencia de los WD que mandan el color del cable al igual que el case del disco duro. Pero se ve resistente.
