    Was able to easily connect to my iMac and move over files pretty quickly. Held everything on my 1tb hard drive plus had room for a ton more.

    DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DRIVE. As seen in my pic, all 3 have crashed with my priceless film footage over the last 8 months. This brand is unreliable. I have many drives. Frequent buyer and I’ve learned the MY BOOK brand is a catastrophe.

    This is a good dive. It is very quiet so it is hard to tell it is on. It would be good if it had a light that would indicate it is on.

    I don't want forced encryption that come with the case, so have chucked for the drive, and it has been solid for the past a few months. Good luck!

    This is a good drive for backups or external storage like images. It is a lot louder than higher performing drives but it makes up for it in lower cost.
