Positive feedback also highlights its lightweight and sleek design. However, some users experienced compatibility issues, particularly with Mac systems, and found the included software less than intuitive.

    Fine backup drive

    Was lured to store with add showing similar model with free cloud storage. That was not available in the store. This is fine, but of course the proof is in the longevity, which is hard to predict (that's why I wanted the cloud storage).

    This HD did not work when I bought it, I had no choice but to return it back to store and have it replaced with a WD hard drive. Pity, because it looks really nice and classy.

    This USB 3.0 hard drive is pretty fast, and it's ultra compatible. The included software leaves a little to be desired, but the small size and portability of the unit more than make up for it. Also, it came at a really good price.

    I was looking for a cheaper external hard drive for the mother in law and this worked great for what I needed. Didn't need to spend a lot of money and it can store everything I want

    The external hard drive is easy to use, a little bit of work to access the files saved by the Geek Squad. Probably easier to use if and when I save files myself.

    The computer I bought I have had nothing but trouble with it I have had it into the geek squad at least every 2 to 3 months. They fix it then something else goes wrong with it I feel like I got a lemon

    I needed a small, portable drive for backup purposes and this fit the bill perfectly. For a smaller drive write speeds are pretty snappy as well. Great drive!

    Either sub cord or the output on device has an issue with being lose or broken so I have to mic it around until the computer recognizes it and then if I move it it's like it is inplugged

    Not much to say, I haven't had any problems with it so if the specs match what your looking for in an external hard drive this is an option.

    I like the unit to give external storage that isn't in a cloud. I feel that there is more security in terms of avoiding an outside intrusion.

    Portable drive was just what I needed to back up an HP Desktop PC. The old backup drive was only 75GB and could no longer do the backups.
