    Works great for both MAC & PC. Compact size makes it easy to carry. My fav part is that I can backup my iPhone directly to the drive!!! Amazing feature.

    Good drive - beware NTFS driver for Mac

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

    Had the drive for a few months now and the drive itself is small, thin and works great. However I suspect there are bugs with the NTFS for Mac driver that comes with the drive. I was using the drive formatted as NTFS on a MacBook Pro via the NTFS driver that was supplied with the drive. This would have been a great solution for me as I wanted to move the drive between Mac and Windows computers and read/write on both. However I've had 2 incidents of data corruption when writing files to the NTFS formatted drive on my Mac. In one case, running chkdsk on a Windows machine fixed everything up and in the second case I had some missing files. I suspect the NTFS for Mac driver that is supplied with the drive so I've stopped using the drive in that way. I now have the drive partitioned with 2 partitions, 1 HFS and 1 NTFS and I now avoid writing to the NTFS partition when I have the drive connect to my Mac.

    This is a great combination of capacity and price. The hard drive works just fine, as expected. It looks good and wasn't too expensive.

    This is a great external hard drive. Have had no issues with it. It is tough. I have dropped it a few times without even a scratch. Operates quickly when accessing it and downloading to and from this device.

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

    I found this hard drive to be really useful for getting my data from one laptop to another and to get the new laptop up and running quickly. The hard drive has very hardy, without any issues. It was used to also store many more items than those form laptop. I also used it to store items from my iMac as well. Excellent device and I like being able to use Thunderbolt as well as USB 2.0/3.0.

    I needed this as I'm building by DL Library and needed to dump items I haven't categorized on a drive. This is a bit smaller than those I already have! Overall. I love it.
