Trouble using: so far not recognized by either 2012 or 2019 Macbook Pro laptops. Bought 10/2022. Very disappointed with Best Buy Customer Service- wasted 1+1/2 hrs trying to obtain answer to simple question as to what was minimum Mac operating system this would work with (after I could not find on operating system- was transferred from Tech Support, Sales help, to Geek Squad- basically every department either transferred me back to one of the others, and I was repeatedly told/encouraged to go to a Best Buy store in person + w/end result of purchasing Geek Squad Services to use their special programs to accomplish my end reason for backing up my 2012 laptop... but I still needed to backup the computer contents beforehand on an External Drive that would be w/my older Mac + Operating system. They wouldno/or could not look up the answer to my basic question as to the minimal operating system (or, whether this Sandisk External Drive was compatible with my laptop w/a 10.14 operating system. I felt most answers were aimed at my purchasing services in-store. Then I called Sandisk (division of WD) + have been holding over 2 hrs!! While waiting I have continued to research an answer on the internet & have found that some users of these Sandisk External drives (especially the 4 TB capacity)- had a disturbing problem of malfunction w/Data Loss, + some problems if use attempted w/Monterey (the manufacturer had promised updates/a solution that has not been forthcoming (I also see that I paid double the current price)... I am very disappointed that Best buy workers would not/could not answer my simple question so I know whether to order other External Drives for my 2012 if this one is not compatible (I need more than one type of backup + want more than one device). After the lack of support- I do not recommend the product; or buying from Best Buy unless one is very computer saavy & will not need tech help. I find it unbelievable that I could not obtain a simple answer from any of the several individuals in multiple departments at Best Buy as to the compatible operating systems for a product they sell.

There is a reason these are on sale a lot right now. Mine seemed to work fine. Then I read tons of reviews online about these unmounting and losing data on Windows and Macs. Seems any made after nov 2022 have been going bad. Sandisk says there is a firmware patch to fix it. But will only work for 4tb versions. Even know 2tb versions also die. Their idea is to just back up anything I ever put on this thing in case it dies. Well I bought this for backup, not to get another back up for this one. Its sitting in my drawer empty and unused.

Best SSD hands down! Also it was 50% off for Thanksgiving, which made the deal even better.
