    I bought it for Time Machine backups. The setup was easy and it's been working perfectly ever since. If I had to do it over again I might get the 2TB drive.

    This is the second drive of this kind that I have purchased as I found the first simple to use and great to store. It's less fiddly then some others.

    I could not be happier with this purchase. It was any easy set up and an even easier way to get everything new backed up since my old HD was going out!

    I have only backed up a few times but it is very simple. I really appreciate the small size of this device. I can store it next to my desk or drop it in my purse or travel bag. It is much more convenient to use than the last device I had.

    I love having a small external hard drive to do my data backups. It's small enough to keep in my laptop bag and it holds all of my data in one place.

    It's working fine with my imac. I only use it as an external hard drive for exporting my photos from Photoshop, so I can't really comment on the time machine function. Other than that, it's sleek, slim and has a nice feel/ texture to it.

    Our Mac external drive failed. Best Buy copied all the data over to this drive (which is faster and has more capacity) and everything is good now. I was concerned about Mac compatibility (no issue) and whether BB could recover the data (turns out our problem was in the electronics of the old unit, not the drive itself) so everything ended up terrific.

    When pricing the MacBook Pro we decided to not pay for the additional memory on the computer and paid a third of the cost for 1TB external drive.

    I have recently started dabbling in photography as a hobby. I never realized how fast RAW files would fill up storage on my laptop. This hard drive has been a life savor. Especially because they say you should always have more than one copy of a picture in case one of your hard drives fails. This device is super small but has a great deal of storage.

    Great little external drive. 1 whole TB in this tiny form factor still boggles the mind. So far has worked great as a backup drive for my laptop.
