    I bought this hard drive to transfer files between a Mac and PC and it does that without any issues. Although it's not large, it doesn't seem that portable but the backup feature is easy to use so all in all, it does what I want.

    Replaced WD Passports with these drives. Smaller, thinner, quieter than the WD's were. Good product and no issues so far.

    Was looking into an external hard drive since my mac's hard drive was full of all the pictures I take, this hard drive is simple and easy to use!! It's just a bit thicker than my phone itself and it is very light weight, makes a VERY SMALL amount of noise which is not bothersome, but haven't had any issues since!!

    I shoot RAW file format images and need loads of backup space and this little guy is the perfect choice for that! I have two big (older) external drives that are too big to be portable, so I love the small size, too. It's so much more convenient to transport files with a drive that's smaller than my phone, yet has 2 terabytes of space.

    Very small and compact. Very portable. Great backup for multiple devices in multiple rooms. Also great for movie or picture storage. Plays well with Mac and PC. This is a replacement for the same model I currently have. I change out my backup/storage drives every 3 years even though my current one works fine.
