    I bought this as a time machine backup for my Macs. I had to reformat the volume so it could be used as such. No problems and it works well.

    I use the drive to back up media files. So far it’s been working great. It does seem to start up even when the drive is not being accessed, but that would be my only complaint. It’s nice and cheap for the amount of storage you get!

    I have had no problems with this. It backs up the computer we connected it as we expected it to. We haven't had to retrieve anything from it so I am giving it only 4 starts. I will update this if we every have to use it for anything else.
