The fastest drive I could find that was not SSD. Use with my Macbook Pro for video editing and back up. Very pleased, meets all of my expectations.

I love this little drive, it's fast enough to be able to run HD video off of while editing in Premiere, Avid or FCP using thunderbolt.

Every external hard drive will fail at some point; this one is quiet, sturdy, and really, really fast. It works well!

Thin and lightweight. Simple interface but disappointed on the backup speed. I expected the speed of the thunderbolt process to be faster than what I am experiencing.

I first saw it mentioned at Apple's site, so figured that if they recommend it I'd be happy with it. I needed it to transfer files from an old, malfunctioning MacOS 10.7.5 machine to a newer one running MacOS 10.12 Sierra. It did the job well.

Used the drive to backup a drive and restore it, and it died about five minutes after it completed. Will not power on -- for both laptops I own. So I'm taking it back to try another brand alternative.

We purchased this at the recommendation of my son's professor. We ordered it online and picked it up from Best Buy. It failed within a month of purchase. When my son took it into the Geek Squad they agreed it didn't work. Then to add insult to injury told my son they couldn't exchange it through Best Buy despite him having the box in hand and our being a best buy reward member. They said we would have to deal with the manufacturer directly.
