    I am a bit crazy and I use this as a back up for my backup. Overall great quality and it works well. Just wished it would also come with a USB-C cable.

    I ran out of space on my old backup, so I bought this for the purpose of using it for Time Machine backups as well as backing up my large iTunes files. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it; really does well for the job. It's also very compatible with virtually any system, though you may need to reformat it for a Mac.

    I purchased this to replace an older Seagate drive that crashed. It works great. It does get a little warm when using and does seem to make a little noise but not as loud as some stated. Fast back up for a large amount of storage, and seems to be working fine for me. Have used for 1 month so far.

    Most of these drives are actually WD Red drives which are excellent drives. From what I've found you can tell if it's a red drive by the AC adapter I"m assuming this is because of the factory they come out of. if the plug is sideways then it is a red if it is regular it is not.
