I have a MacBook pro with USB-C only connections. I exchanged this drive for a USB-C Samsung drive because I didn't want to carry another unique cable. Otherwise, I had no issue with it. Good size, light, easy to carry.

Bought SSD for speed and more rugged reliability. Little disappointed with the secure operation. Crashed often with heavy file management usage, suspect just difficulty with encryption operation. Would still buy again.

I use this to shuttle big files around when the network isn't suitable. Also use it to offload big stuff from my computer that I don't need right away, but want to be able to get at fast. I use it on USB 3.0 and it's very fast to copy to and from. I formatted it HFS+ for my Mac but if you want to use it with PCs and Macs you should be formatting it ExFAT which works properly with both.
