I bought this for extra storage on my WiiU... It works great - it has its own power source, and won't power down, no fear of losing its connection

This hard drive has been very easy to use with my MacBook. It's easy to use right out of the box. Easily stores hundreds of photos and files.

Have an iMac (1TB) needed to back up before upgrade to Sierra - this was all I really needed - got the job done without issue. The "without issue" is the best part. Was recognized immediately and Time Machine took over from there. Have already past this info on to friend that needed to do the same - worked perfectly for him as well!

The only thing I do not like about this is the fact that it has to be plugged into not only your computer but also an outlet. Not a huge problem just annoying to have to do constantly.

One of my clients needed a simple no-nonsense portable backup drive for his MAC. Bought one of these pre-formattted for MAC, plugged it into the desktop and named it as backup, let it run overnight. Next morning my client headed for the airport with a laptop and full backup. It worked perfectly out of the box. Thumbs up on this guy.

I did have a difficult time setting it up with my Mac. I had installed the software from seagate, it really clogged up my system and it took the Apple people about 30 minutes to fix it.

Got this drive to backup satellite TV box from Dishnet and it worked like a charm. Backed up the DVR and restored to the new DVR.
