    Fantastic Unit

    This 2 TB Ultra is so easy to have. You don't need batteries as it gets that to your desktop or what ever your working with. I used it to take folders off my old Desktop, and it got everything I put on it with a lot more space to work with. When you plug it in to a Desktop, or a portable unit it comes on immediately. I love how easy it is!!

    Light weight and powerful

    This is so helpful as a way to save my data and backup my information beside the cloud. It's easy to use, light weight and holds a lot of information.

    Must be formatted for a Mac, but easy to do...

    This isn't a SDD nor is it formatted for a Mac, but I didn't really notice much of a difference in speed when I used a SSD type external drive on my M1 MacBook Air. It was fairly simple to format for a Mac (under disk utilities app on any MacBook), and I got 2TB of storage for HALF of what 1 TB cost in a SanDisk SSD. So I'd say this is a lot of bang for the buck, especially if you get it on sale (I did). And a side bonus: It matches the silver color of my MacBook Air M1, and fits in my case that I already have. You can get similar cases from Buy for about $10. 2 TB is a must-have for photographers!!
