Great price for a 6TB drive. It's formatted and made for Mac users (although it can be re-formatted for Windows as well). Of course it's only been a month or so, but so far on my Mac, it's working just as expected with no problems whatsoever as a backup TimeMachine. Piece of cake to set up. I've read a few negatives about this drive but haven't experienced anything. Hope it continues this way. Bottom line: at this point in time would highly recommend.

Drive works out of the box with Apple. No formatting is needed. Only complaints of head noise in this drive are unwarranted, as all large format disc drives will make some minor noise. I know because I have other brands and they all can be heard, but it is not bothersome. Its a very well made, reliable drive.

Reliable drive so far. Makes a bit of an occasional whirring noise when it reads or writes, but other than that, its speed is pretty good. Solidly made.

So far works great. It was easy to set up to my Windows desktop, and it runs games on it just fine. For someone who is a casual gamer it's great. I noticed a minutely slower startup time but likely wouldn't even have noticed had I not been specifically looking for it. Definitely worth the money if you're looking for a decently priced external hard drive.

This is my second G drive and I’m using it as a back up for my first one. Speed is what I was looking for in order to transfer images with in an acceptable time. The build is solid and I feel confident to store my files on it. I would have purchased the thunderbolt version but I felt I can save the money with the usb 3 version as I’m not that demanding right now. Bestbuy had the best price at the time of purchase.
