    Bought this drive without doing much research as it was on sale and the same price for more storage than other brands. You get 3gb of reliable storage. It's plug and play with Apple computers and great for time machine backups. The case seems sturdy and I expect it to last long like my other drives as long as I don't abuse them! The software included is nice and there's free cloud storage which I haven't used yet. Overall great lil drive. Oh and it actually comes out to be a little over 3gb once formatted. Usually it's the other way around where the drive has less space than what it says.

    I bought this to act as a time machine/time capsule device for my Apple Imac and Apple Macbook Pro. Plenty of space (3TB) for all my videos and pictures and it backs everything up automatically. Also comes with the Lyve software to be able to view all my pics and vids from my tablet and cellphone using the app.

    So far so good! Last backup just stopped even though had lots of space. Got this one and only complaint are starting instructions. Ask you to purchase additional items, which I did not want. Then had to start all over again 3 days later. But now is doing it's job.
