Great Drive
I started with a WD, it gave me problems. 1- The native “Mac” app prevented me from formatting for Mac. 2- I formatted to Ex-Fat, then formatted for Mac. 3-, “Drag and Drop” only dropped aliases. 4- the WD was inconsistent in staying mounted. —-i picked up this drive,, plug and play. So i got another for TimeMachine, Its worth tbe investment.
