    So far so good. I had to “repair” it once but that happens using an external exfat drive with a Mac. Had to repair using my Lenova Laptop. Good idea if you don’t reformat for Mac to have a Windows computer available to clean up time to time

    So far so good. The drive is and does what it says it does. There was no power cable in the box when I opened it. But Best Buy immediately resolved the situation and got me a new power supply on the very next day. Thank you Best bye good job as usual.
