    The drive is large and bulky by current standards, but the price was right for 4TB of mass storage. I'm using it with Time Machine on my Mac and so far it seems to be working fine.

    This HD is great. Easy to use. I use it for transferring files between 2 offices and it works great, especially with the hard use I give it.

    This is an inexpensive and high capacity hard drive. My only complaint is regarding the setup process. It was supposed to be simple to properly format it for use as a Time Machine drive on my Mac, but it was a bit convoluted.

    I actually needed is as an external drive. Odd that costs less then the disk by itself. But got it as a BB Deal of the Day and was a good buy.
