    Great for Mac, not for IBM?

    We took the drive to the IBM computer of the person who needed to provide us files, thinking it would work both ways, but it didn't. Perhaps this was partly our fault? Don't know for sure, but we needn't yet another piece of equipment to download files from IBM, and then be able to use them in our Macs.

    I'm using this drive for general storage and I've been happy with the drive's performance. This is an15mm drive so if you're looking for a thin, profile this is not the drive for you. I'm removing 1 star because this drive does not offer the same functionality as a WD Passport and it was not mentioned on the packaging. For example, this drive does not offer any way to encrypt the contents of the drive. If you are using this as a portable drive and you're carrying sensitive or personal information that you want encrypted if the drive is lost or stolen, this is not the drive for you. Instead look at the WD Passport drives instead. Otherwise, for general use I would recommend this drive.

    I'm a little confused with this drive. At purchase i was under the impression that it had something special (something different) compared to other drives. At least based on the information presented in the description. Auto backup isn't exclusive to this drive, just a different process to go about. Aside from that, everything else about this drive is great! Got this drive at a discount and definitely glad I picked it up.

    This is replacing an older 1TB hard drive. That I really like. It looks exactly the same, just holds 2x the data. I used the old one daily for 5 years, carrying it to and fro. It was damaged when it dropped off a table. Be sure to backup you info in 2 places. Yes, twice plus the original. Have 3 copies! (My backup had become corrupted on another brand hard drive.)
