    Good-bye to storing data on small flash drives. This is a great way to back-up my iMac desktop information without switching drives.

    When I first purchased this product, I had an issue connecting with my MacBook Air. I exchanged it for another one and now it works perfect. Speedy writing and very slim, portable. Definitely recommend.

    I was recommended this brand of external drive by my Apple repair man who needed a drive on which to transfer the data from my old mac that had a problem that required an expenditure equal to a new computer to fix. However, the repair man was able to access the old machine's hard drive and transfer the data onto this new drive. This new external drive had all my old system's data and the data was easily accessible so this drive fulfilled it's primary mission well.
