No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorst external drive ever
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to use on my Mac computer, but this was a total waste of time. It is not as compatible as I thought it would be. I’m unable to edit and add titles to what I’m trying to save. This feels cheap and flimsy. The only thing good about this purchase was the price ($20) but I might still return it.
