    this is the second Backup unit we have purchased. The first one for our home computer has worked great so we purchased this for my wife's laptop. Great price for the amount of storage!

    I needed a back up drive as we all do for our computers. This one was formatted for Mac products and was very easy to plug in and get it started. I had no issues doing my first back up or any since.

    Bought this portable hard drive to back up my Mac Book Pro since my other hard drive wasn't responding for backing up purpose. This hard drive compatible with Mac devices would highly recommend it.

    I was debating between the Seagate and the WD hard drives. But the Seagate was the only one I found that was specifically for the Mac. The others had to be formatted. This made it so much easier.

    I was able to transfer files from my PC (required the startup disc) to my brand new iMAC (Yes, I'm bragging - also; did not require the start up disc) using this fancy hard drive. Two thumbs up.
