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.

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
