Running good with 4K editing.
Its easy and it does not having me problems yet. Im editing in 4K and i have my doubts about this HD because is old, but everything goes well with Davinci Resolve and 4K without proxys. So, well done.

Great for Time Machine. Good value.
I bought this for Time Machine on my wife's iMac. Since it's her business machine, backup is vital. It must be reformatted for the time machine back up, but that's quick and easy enough. Almost automatic, but not quite. I gave her 3TB for Time Machine and 1TB for project storage. The "Mac experts" recommend three times the HD space for time Machine backups. So again, being her business machine that's what I did, just to be sure. So far, it's great. It's silent and small, its powered by USB C, so it just sits out of the way doing its vital job. WD has always been a good brand, and the passport a good product to my experience with them. Recommended.

Good size and heav, comes with cable C, as well as USB
