    I have a mac and I had to reconfigure the partitions to 1 single partition, but you need to know how to do that. You don't expect to have to do this if it says "mac compatible". It would confuse someone who does not understand this. Other than that, it works just fine. I will see in the future how it holds up. I do this all the time as I am an editor, but a regular user may not understand how to make it user friendly.

    I bought a pair of these to archive all my files from many many old drives ranging from 120gb to 750gb. I wanted to get everything in one place so I could get rid of my various collection of drives. I've had good experience with Seagate drives over the years. I learned the hard way to always have at least one backup of a drive. That's why I always buy them in pairs now and make them copies of each other.

    A fast reliable harddrive. Easy to use, easy to set up as a backup drive and overall no complaints. It's not portable as its big and corded but as a stationary backup drive it's great. It runs a bit warm but so far that's not a problem.

    This is my second Seagate External hard drive. They are dependable with a very good transfer rate. I alternate the backup of all my computers between these 2 drives. They my be dependable but with all information being digital 2 external hard drives are better than one.
