    Simple to install on MacBook. Got it to transfer over photos and music to free up room on my laptop. Seems to work, haven't tried hooking up to another laptop though to see if everything is on it.

    There's not much to this item but it has seemed to work well so far. I plugged it into my macbook and it has backed it up so that I don't have to worry about my fatal hardware error message anymore.

    Works perfectly so far! I went with this one because of the size and weight. This thing is slim and looks very decent. The USB 3.0 transfer rates are fast. I only will only use USB 3.0 going forward. This solid-state drive is simplicity and durability and well-crafted right out of the box
