    Using for Mac backup

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Even though it says for PC or Mac, you still have to format it, but it only takes about two minutes. orks great with my iMac (late 2012). Backed up my files in about 30 minutes. Would be even better if it had a case.

    I bought this to replace my ancient firewire hard drive, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how fast my files/pictures transfer. Love the form factor!

    After reviewing all possible options for HD, I finally decided to buy this one. I definitely do not regret it. It is slim with no heating issues and has a great customer support.

    Make sure you read the box

    Great HD. I used this to expand my Xbox one memory. Hooked it up, Xbox automatically formated and works great. The one thing I would say is make sure you read the packaging. Maybe my fault but it wasn't obvious, the first one I bought was for Macs and didn't work.

    External drive - good buy

    This was a good buy. It is small and I love the color. Also, I transferred all my files from an older external drive and it only took 20 minutes. I was very pleased.

    Works Good With Windows, Linux, But Not Android

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This hard drive is not compatible with Android. But it is compatible with Windows, Linux, when I tested it. The back up software is so-so, and I wish it would run a little more faster, and does not take long to back up your files. Back to Android, I tried to connect this hard drive through the OTG adapter, and the hard drive LED lights up, but does not get recognized (unusable) through the Android tablet. So no, I would not recommend this if you're going to use this as a extra storage drive for everything such as your OTG device that is an Android device, but it's fully recommended for Windows and Linux devices. Now as for Raspberry 1, 2, 3, same as a linux device, it should be able to work.

    931 Gb, and cheap outer plastic shell

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This portable drive is only 931 gb. Outside shell is cheap plastic instead of aluminum. My music collection alone is almost the 70 gigs I'm missing. Advertised as a 1TB, I'm tired of everyone in the industry advertising a certain size hd and not delivering. To me this is false advertising and I'm tired of it.

    I always used Seagate for my internal drives, and their slim drive has performed well up to expectation. The longer you have it, the more useful you find it can be,

    Set It And Forget It

    Just set it for daily backup and it does the rest. Swap it with another external hard drive so there is always one copy not attached to your computer.

    I love this! Because it's portable, I can put all of my movies in here and take it anywhere. I just plug it into my Xbox and watch any movie I want.
