    After reading the reviews, I purchased this for my son's MAC. As soon as I rec'd it, I plugged it into his computer and dragged all his files onto it. So simple!

    So far so good! I use this as a backup for my daily work- and it's been great. It doesn't look atrocious sitting on the desk- and seems very reliable. I'm pleased!

    This is the smallest 1TB portable hard drive I've ever owned. Just can't use with computers with less than a 2.0 USB. Other than that, a great unit.

    Exactly what I needed

    It's small, compact, and light so you can transport it. The set up online was a little confusing, but once it was installed I was able to drop decades worth of scanned photos I was worried about. The cloud is too confusing so this is perfect. I would highly recommend to this to anyone looking for an external hard drive!

    I bought this after months of research and I don't regret it! Used it for my MacBook (2010) running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Easy to set up with Time Machine and very sleek design (about the size of an iPhone 5/6). Moved up to El Capitan after everything was safely backed up.

    I was very happy with this device because it was plug-n-play. I'm using it on my Macbook Pro for Time Machine backups with plenty of extra room for other storage. It's easy to pack away and take with me.
