    I have a lot of external hard drives. This one is awesome because of the internal storage size, small external size and ease of portability! In fact, I own 2 of these! Great product!

    Do not buy it if you have Windows OS

    I'd say that I was satisfied with this product initially. The company provided a driver for Windows OS. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 10 OS. The company no more provides the driver for it. I am unable to access any of my data. I contacted them several times with no hope. Id definitely not recommend this product if you have Windows OS

    And lets be serious, especially with the Mac, over time, all these drives fail. I purchased this as a replacement. By the way, the failed drive works to retrieve files, but I can no longer delete files via time machine. So there you go. Had this a month and it works seamlessly with Time Machine.

    The external drive works perfectly with my Mac products and my Windows products. It's even smaller than I expected. The USB 3.0 makes reading and writing so much faster.

    Unfortunately I didn't hook this up right away. Had a total computer failure and lost everything. So, when I picked up the computer after a new hard drive was installed I had the Geek squad guy connect the back-up. It was so easy. Too late for me. But now I am prepared.
