    Not ideal for Mac users

    As a Mac user I had to reformat the drive through terminal. That is go into that secret place on the computer where you enter commands through text. That is sure to scare some people. It seemed to work fine at first but then the backup stalled. So not great. I still haven’t been able to successfully back up my computer, but that might come down to the fact that it’s on its last leg. If you use Windows I imagine this would be excellent.

    The laptop that I purchased had a 512 terrabyte solid state drive that made for a very fast computer but did not provide enough storage for the many high megapixel photographs that I process. This external drive provides the space that I need.

    This is one of two external portable hard drives that maintain our personal correspondence and data as we do not store the aforementioned information on our computers' hard drives. Also, Best Buy provided this device at a very good price.

    This hard drive is able to hold all the pictures and videos my family has taken since the early 2000s, and we still have so much more space to use up. This device can easily store an entire lifetime's worth of memories and perhaps even more.
