    I needed to free up space on my solid state hard drive (only 500 gigs) so I got this to put my 350 gig iPhoto library on. It is working just fine and the drive is light and easy to carry around. It has been a good solution!

    I bought the hard drive with the intention of putting my iTunes library from my Windows PC to transfer it to my new Mac. I was under the impression that it was a simple plug in play but it wasn't as simple as I thought. While it did work it took me a while to figure out that you had to format it to Windows before it would recognize the drive. I found this link very helpful.... http://osxdaily.com/2012/04/22/format-drive-mac-pc-compatible/ After formatting it it worked like a charm. Wished there had been more info about what I needed to do in the box instructions then having to figure it out on my own. Make sure before you format it that it's clean other wise you will loose anything you saved on it.

    This makes a good external drive to supplement the 128 mb on my MacBook Pro. It is set up out of the box for Mac Time Machine which makes backing up easy. You can also use it for extra file storage.
