    Power plug slightly misaligned

    The power plug jack was slightly misaligned w/ the hole in the case. I could plug the power plug in, but figured eventually the extra force would break the jack solder joints. I would still recommend this, but check for that. It was probably a one off though.

    I'm not very savvy with the hard drive technology, so I accidentally downloaded the pre-installed software. Only after did I realize it wouldn't work with my Mac's TimeMachine, so I had to restart and wipe the drive. Other than that, it works great!

    Not a good backup drive for a Mac

    I bought this large external drive to use for Time Machine backups. It was advertised on the box as being compatible with Mac. It contained initial software that prevented my Mac from seeing it. After working with two friends who know more than I do about these things, I returned it. If it does not work with Mac, it shouldn't say it does, and if it does work, there should be more specific instructions included (perhaps in writing in the box) about how to make it compatible. I've bought backup drives from Best Buy before and they have worked, but not this one.

    Utilizing USB 3.0, this external hard drive provides excellent transfer speed. Utilizing Norton Security, this drive makes backup fast and accurate.

    The external drive works as expected and the transfer rates are reasonable. If it holds up for it's rated life, then it will be well worth the sale price.
