    Drive was easy to install and when connected to my new Mac it started right up. I have used this for a backup for my information and files. The device is very small and would fit in your pocket. The price was great and the the 2 Tb is larger than two connect drives.

    I purchased this hard drive to hook up to my XBox One. It has had no problems, I was able to format it quickly and easily and then transfer the games that were on the XBox hard drive over with no problems. It starts up quickly and takes up virtually no space.
