    Got this to back up my iMac. No problems to set up and use. It's really small and takes up no space at all. Got it on sale as per a recommendation by one of the Best Buy clerks. He was very helpful to the point of of having me wait until the next day to buy this specific model when the truck dropped off a new delivery.

    This was under 60 dollars compared to either 300 or 400 to use Time Machine. Works great, even partitioned it for Lightroom. Great disk for the money.

    With my old external harddrive starting to give up the ghost, I started doing my homework for a new one. This is an excellent external drive, and it's fast at transferring files back and forth with a computer. It's also easily portable so I can take it with me when I travel if I find I need anything off of it.

    1TB of storage in a small package. I love that it matches my mabook (I'm such a girl). The device is very sleek, too bad it did not include a carrying case.

    This drive is absolutely phenomenal and works as intended. It is completely powered by the usb cable and is great for Macbooks. This being said, there were similar drives going for $5-$10 less, but this drive did not require any formatting to work with Time Machine. I guess you get what you pay for.

    I have been using this drive with my Mac Book Pro. The data copy is fairly fast due to USB 3.0. The drive is not bulky and can be easily carried around. I did not care too much about the software segate included with the drive.

    There was an error message on my computer that there was no backup. I had an external drive on it, however the message kept popping up. Assuming the older (4 year old) external drive had failed, I purchased this drive. I plugged it in, it downloaded easily, and it was just what I needed.

    Due to the forced change of PC platforms we needed a way to move large amount of data files temporarily to an external device and this item not only fit the bill it performed as expected. Being able to use USB to make the transfers was very handy, the actual upload and download seemed fast too.

    This external hard drive is great. It is the perfect compact size so I can bring it with me and have it anytime I may need it. One of the best things is I have complete piece of mind knowing that now I am backing up my info. This External Hard drive couldn't be any better for me.
