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.

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.

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.
