    I bought this to back up my Mac using the built-in time machine application. It works great. I just had to reformat the drive, but after that, it works great. No issues

    I had 2 other WD external hard drives with less storage. I bought this new hard drive to consolidate my data and have some room for more data. I am very pleased with this product.

    Bought this to work with my Mac, and was kinda limited on options to work with that, at the Best Buy I stopped at. Picked this one up and I haven’t been upset yet.

    Bought this as a external drive for the Xbox and it works perfect, plug and play, no issues whatsoever. Was much cheaper then the actual Xbox branded drive and works just as well.
