    This is a good but not great external hard drive with a decent price for the amount of storage.

    The tech sites I use all agree this is an excellent portable drive and for $54.00 I agree. It has great download/upload speed with USB 3.0. No it is not as as fast as SSD but that is not a need of mine. This is plenty fast for me compared with USB 2.0 and the FW 800 drive it replaced.

    I'm new to Mac, but I'm glad I have this drive so I can do my Time Machine backups. Hopefully I will never need to restore from a backup, but I am thankful to have them. This drive seems to work well, and I was glad that it didn't need any formatting. Just plug it in and start your Time Maching backups!

    I purchased this because it is formatted for Mac. I had purchased another storage device, and then was expected to format it. I will only purchase devices for my device. Formatting does not interest me.
