    I just got it after my WD ext drive suddenly freaked out and shut down. So far seems great. Fingers crossed. Installation's simple,straighforward. At this point I'd recommend it highly.

    Nice capacity. If you aren't backing off everything (in house and in cloud), you can have catastrophic problems.

    I bought three of these at Best Buy. All three have worked wonderfully. One has been reformatted to work with Mac and works great. The only down side I have seen deal with my Acer Laptop running Vista and only USB 2 would not boot with this drive plugged in. I also noticed this with another brand of hard drive. Perhaps it is the USB 3 that is the problem. The new HP all-in-one I have running windows 7 has no such problem even though it is also only USB 2.

    The price is nice for 3 gigabytes. But it randomly disconnects and reconnects to my computer. It's also very load. Simply put... I don't trust it with anything important.

    After using multiple external hard drives such as Seagate & Western Digital this unit is by far the more robustly built without being bulky. Set-up is quite simple: just plug and play. Personally I'm looking forward to getting another.

    This product was money well spent. Not only does it have a sleek design, when operating its very quiet. If you need a good, reliable external invest some money into this drive. You'll be happy you did.

    Backup Couldn't Be Easier

    I plugged in my new external hard drive to my Mac Mini, it was automatically detected, and OS X asked to format it. Once that was done, turning on Time Machine was a snap. The first backup takes a while and can slow your machine down, so you might want to plan to start it when you can leave it alone to get it done.
