    Used only for time machine back-up on my Mac which was performed simply ad easily right out of the box. Did not use any included or downloadable software so am not able to review that.

    I bought this external drive so I could back up my Mac when I thought I might have to reformat my Mac. It turns out I solved my problem without needing to reformat, but this is such a great deal that I retained this great little drive.

    I take lots of photos, so I bought this back up my hard drive of my laptop. It connects easily to my computer, has 1TB storage, is lightweight and attractive, and gives me peace of mind. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    I would recommend the product, but I would strongly advise Best Buy to train its employees better with regard to its use with a MAC.
