    It is not functional, it needs to be fed with extra energy. That's why it didn't work, they told me in the bestbay customer service department. I couldn't use it on my macbook pro 2022 laptop. For that, I had to return it.

    Do not buy this drive if you have not updated your OS recently. It will not work with older Systems and customer support has some pretty lame workarounds that has you installing non-Apple video players. It’s not worth the money, I went back and got a cheap one for $19 that worked immediately.

Waited for 4 hours and went back. Customer Service manager was rude and mentioned that do what you had to wait for another 4 hours. He was not customer satisfaction oriented. I had to return the whole think. He did not even try to save the sale. Other product FitBit, great experience.

    For this price, I don’t understand why it does not have usb C cable (it’s a usb-3 plug). Also, it only reads and writes standard discs & DVDs. This does not support Blu-ray Discs.

    My iMac a notice that stays in the middle of my screen ( Finder quit unexpectedly while using the Finder plug-in). I was told it could take 3 or 4 days to get it back. I 'm in the middle of high school tennis season and I need my computer to communicate with my team. So I'm stuck with working around the Finder in the middle of my screen. I paid for a new iMac with Finder problems, it should be replaced with a new one.

    works well and is dependable. Ejecting a troubled disk at times can be a problem, but it works well.

    Will not work with M1 chip if you are running the latest OS. I was told by Apple c/s that this will most likely be corrected in a future OS update.

    I was very disappointed that the unit was defective. And because I work 6 days a week, I was unable to return the product sooner and was told you would not replace it. But Geek Squad did test it and said it was defective. I had to drive from Clearwater to Tampa to the Apple store to get a replacement.
