    I use this drive as a backup to my Mac Air. Works extremely well for doing so. Mac recognized the drive and automatically began backup. Works with Apple's Time Machine software.

    This works like a charm. I bought this for our Nintendo Wii U as we were dangerously close to exceeding capacity. After a bit of research I bought this for a very nice price. I plugged it in and the system immediately recognized it.

    I needed a 2TB portable hard drive that was both Mac and PC compatible. I was surprised that I had to download the software to run this hard drive for a PC, but there was an address to download this software from and it wasn't an issue. So far is it is working perfectly. I was glad to find a good value from a well known hard drive supplier.

    Best Addition...

    This external was the choice I made to add space to my Xbox One. At first I was skeptical because I did not want to add a power source to my surge protector however upon opening it I realized that I was just being difficult. When I first plug it in I noticed how very quit the hard drive is. The next thing I notice when I plug it into my xbox is that the Xbox instantly notices the hard drive and ask me if I want to format it. Ultimate I was very happy with my purchase and I think it was the best addition to my Xbox One

    It's amazing how small this back up is and how efficient also. It was very easy to install and is working great with my mac. The fact that Best Buy matches sale prices is a bonus.

    Bought this external hard drive for my daughter and it works great and has lots of storage space. She’s able to put many photos, videos and movies on it and still has a lot of storage space left. It is also easy to use. The size is slim too so easy to transport and store. I would recommend it my friends for sure!
