    We purchased two of these for moving data off of a Mac Book Pro. It easily adapted and there was a noticeable improvement in the Mac speed afterward.

    This thing is awesome. It plugs right in, works perfectly, and it is easy to setup with Time Machine. It will be a lifesaver if anything ever happens to our computer.

    Seagate has always been a reliable brand for us, whether it is for backups, travel drives or storage of older files. This drive was club and go.

    This is a great external hard drive however, I had to reformat it prior to using it so that it would be compatible for Windows device. Reformatting was not difficult it just required a few extra steps. Overall, I am happy with this device.

    Bought this as an external backup for my Mac--already configured for Mac so back up was about as simple as could be. Serves the purpose beautifully.

    Hard drive is compatable with my mac. Works very well with multiple computers as it keeps separate folders for each computer you back up.
