    I own several of these, of various sizes and colors; have had no problems. I simply reformat for Mac. I would note, however, that purchasing directly from Seagate has proven more cost effective (and more..colorful!) than Best Buy (where black is usually my only choice).

    I had not problem backing up my dekstop and laptop on this hard drive but if you want to backup your iPhone on it you must download a app on your phone and creat account to be able to transfer the videos and pictures.I didn't like the fact that I had to add one more app on my phone,I'm trying to free space not waste memory on the phone.

    I bought this to back up a desktop PC at my business. It works as advertised, write speeds using USB 3.0 were about 35Mb/s but nowhere near what USB 3.0 is supposed to be. To be fair, none of the USB 3.0 devices ever run as fast as advertised. So far, no problems.

    I have two these. One as backup for my Windows computers the other as a Time Machine backup for my Macbook Pro. So far so good. I read on another site that some people were having some issue with drive failures but the majority of the reviews were positive.

    Using the device as secondary storage for Win10 computers (i5 chips in all cases). Primary files are SQL Server databases and scripts. Fast and easy. Lot of I/O over the last weeks and no problems. Would, and may, buy again.
