    We use with our MAC to back up files as well as to load and give to someone else. We have had no issues and have purchased two of them so far.

    Not that long ago you'd have had to pay more than $100 for an eternal drive with 1/4 of the capacity of the Seagate. I'm glad that day has passed. I needed an external drive and didn't have a couple of shipping days to wait (or the time to shop around from store to store). I went to the Best Buy website, saw it was available for same day pickup, bought it, picked it up during lunch, and was backing up my work computer "Just in case" right before a swap to a new computer. It is a great device and the service at Best Buy was outstanding.

    This is a great back up device, it's small but holds a lot of information, pictures, etc. A great add-on to my Mac and the price is right also.

    This hard drive for Mac computers allows me to keep a backup of my drive. I also cleaned up my original hard drive by backing up key files.

    This is my second Seagate external hard drive I've purchased. The first one still works like a champ. I simply needed one with more space.
