Didn't work. BestBuy policy wouldn't allow return.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for a Mac. Didn't work. Tried reformat. That also failed. Tried "non speedy reformat" and that took 4 days. When that also failed to make the drive work with a Mac I attempted to return it to Best Buy. Their policy says no return after 15 days. Had I not spent 4 days doing a slow reformat I would have made it. I'm very unhappy.

Terrible unreliable product
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This garbage ejects any time it wants to. Don't buy it. You you will lose progress of whatever you are working on that is in the hard drive. It also comes with a crappy usb-c plug that is super fragile. It also needs power which is super inconvenient. Thanks for ripping me off Best Buy.

A great way to waste $150
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had it 1 month and a day and it has quit working. Best Buy only gives 30 days I guess since it says no longer returnable. Worst purchase i have made and I may start buying just from Amazon now.

Fails to backup Time Machine on MacPro 2010
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drive has failed to continue to backup my files. I get an error message and it refuses to continue after one backup. I am using High Sierra on a mid 2010 Mac Pro. I hope I am able to return it for a working drive, as it is not old.

Good bang for the bucks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this to move decades of movies and photos from 15 years of DVD's. The price for 8GB was fantastic, and the performance fine for a USB external. And, after weeks of copying DVS's there's been no issues.
