Very easy to use and is made of great quality materials. Easily connects to my macbook and seamlessly transfers my photos by simply the “drag and drop” method (from my sony a6500 to this drive).

The item is listed as plug and play, that turned out not to be true. My Windows 11 computer could see the drive when plugged in, but it did not show up on the drop down menu for use. Apparently, this is a known issue, thankfully there are videos on YouTube that explain how to fix the problem. Once I followed the YouTube fix the drive worked great. I'm happy with the drive, not so happy with the extra research needed to get it working.

This is great, I work in the field, and I need to have a robust external HDD to back up my computer in case the unexpected happens, I always carry this one in my backpack.

My old backup drive died on me, and so I searched around for what seemed to be a good replacement. This is strong, reliable so far, and very robust.

Works right out of the box on a MAC. Is not overly designed to look cool. SanDisk known for their cards. If satisfied with all those big and little cards this is just a bigger version.

Use this for my file storage. It’s great for the price but I feel like it deleted some files randomly. May have been user error.

Got this to use as a Time Machine drive when my MacBook developed issues and I needed to restore it. I've been using this drive since and it's great. The only issue is that it does not always work when I connect it to my thunderbolt dock so I end up plugging it into my MacBook. It's not a huge deal, but instead of one cable I have to plug in two.

It is not as fast as a solid state drive but it is a lot cheeper. It allows me to get two drives for multiple backups. The only reason I did nit give it a five is that it is not as fast as solid state but I knew that going in.
