    I need a drive that easily works between a Windows and a Mac platform. I have used Western Digital drives now for years and they seamlessly move between both platforms and have never given me any issues at all. I've purchased 2 Seagate drives in the last 5 years. The first one failed completely after only 5 hours of use - costing me hours of photo editing. Seagate's response? Pay us and we'll recover your data. This is the second drive I purchased and I did so only because Best Buy was out of stock on WD drives. After several hours of looking at on-line support documents, downloading drivers, etc, etc I still was unable to get this drive to work between the Windows and Mac machines... I returned it and picked up a WD drive - it worked perfectly right out of the box.

    Works great. Used it to pull documents and music off of an old XP computer and transfer to a new PC with no issues.

    For the price, it is excellent. I have used other storage devices and after short time have failed requiring extra cost to retrieve.

    I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S3 to a Samsung Galaxy S4. I do like the features on the S4 as they are better than the features on the S3. I'm still getting used to the phone but all in all I do like it.

    I bought this to back up my wife's computer. We plugged it in and it was recognized without a problem.The only down side was that I had to find the executable file to initiate the back up.

    The drive is solidly made and USB 3.0 makes it fast. I would have given it five stars but Seagate's use of proprietary USB cables means that if it's lost or broken, I can't readily replace it.

    Instead of turning on your controller you have a remote to use for watching. I think it's easier with the remote.
