    Great product once you learn how to use it. Backs up a lot of files and photos. Make sure this item stays flat or u will loose all ur backups.

    I mainly bought this as a backup for my Mac, so I wasn’t necessarily after blinding speed. Installation was unproblematic and it does exactly what is should. The price was right too.

    I have a computer with 1TB memory and it was full, so I bought the mobile drive 2TB. I have loaded 15,000+ photos so far and there has been no issues using the drive.

    Works great with Mac Mini. No issues. The slim design makes it easy to place on top of the Mac Mini. Quiet and portable. Doesn’t heat up.

    The product description says it includes both a reversible USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable. It doesn’t. There’s no USB-C to USB-A cable in the box.
