    The Portable Hard Drive works fast and was very easy to use. It has software you can install for backing up and such, but doesn't try to push you into installing. I like it.

    I'm very pleased with the external hard drive. I bought two--for mirroring sake-and both are performing as advertised. To use them with Mac, I had to format the drives with Disk Utility.

    I bought this as a present for my son who makes a lot of videos for his YouTube channel. They eat up space on his laptop so this is a welcome addition and should hold many more videos.

    I take a lot of pictures and don't want to rely on the cloud for my back up...This back up is big enough to do the job, was easy to plug in and hook up to my Carbonite.
