    Seems to work just fine. I've never had a problem with a Western Digital hard drive. The price was really god for a hard drive that works with DVRs and Macs.

    Works great. I love the additional transfer speed that is available with USB-3.0. I use this drive to back up my entire primary hard drive in my home - desk top computer and then store it in my safe.

    Was able to get 2 projects done with this drive...great price for the amount of storage (note you cannot save both Windows and Mac files on it at once...it needs to be formatted for one or the other)

    Solidly built, data transfers are smooth and as fast as you'll get with a 2.5" mechanical drive. Only downside is that the plug receptacle on the unit isn't a USB-C, but a USB-Micro with an additional side connector that I assume is for power; as such it doesn't come with a generic USB cable, and I'm not sure it can use one - a generic USB Micro cable will fit, but it might not deliver enough power to spin up the disk. As such you'll need to make sure to not lose the USB cable that comes with the unit.

    This is my first portable hard drive. It’s very easy to use. Easy to set up and the sale price was great. In fact, we ordered a total of three. One for the pc, one for ps4, and one for the Xbox one.
