good model, I liked it.
7 September 2020 
Bought 2 disks in 2014, one of them is used by a friend and it still works for her, I load it with all sorts of info, use it carefully, it still works and that makes me happy.
Has been working for 6 years without any issues.
Did not notice
use Seagate Basic month or more
I don't know how it is in terms of durability, but it looks awfully cheaply made.
12 March 2021 
Bought it a couple of days ago.
Seems to be working fine for now.
Memory capacity
Relatively small dimensions
Extremely disgusting plastic material
Terribly unpleasant to the touch
Slips in hands
Needs to be placed on something to prevent sliding on the table
Does not match what is shown in the images
great model, love it

I can't say much about this model. I got it as a portable drive for my "dump" of files. In the end, I'm using it as a permanent hard drive. No complaints, it performs its function.
Price, portability
