    The reviews said it was easy to use, just plug it in and click start to backup my computer. It was not that easy, there was a program to download and then it took 7 hours to back up. I'm still not sure if it actually worked.....maybe if I were more computer literate I would feel better about this product. Probably great for someone more knowledgeable then myself.

    I used this hard-drive to replace another, that did not come configured for use with the iMac standalone. I am delighted with its functionality, and would recommend this to another person enthusiastically.
