    This is a ton of memory and for the price, we couldn't complain. We use it as a backup and haven't had any problems.

    Great Drive

    The drive is working great. I have a Mac computer and the package for this drive says that it is compatible with Macs. This is true but the drive needs to be reformatted in order to be used on a Mac. The WD disk is formatted as NTFS. Mac's can read NTFS disks but can't write to them. In order for me to get this drive to work on the Mac, I had to plug it into a PC and reformat the drive as exFAT. Macs can read/write to exFAT disks and I could then reformat the drive into any Mac format I wanted to.

    Backing up all my important files, great as an iTunes repository. Fast enough for any iTunes media and large enough for backups.
