    Very easy to connect to my MacBook Pro and use. Although you always need it connect to a power source and your computer to use it. It was be fantastic if it was wireless.

    I bought this drive to replace a 1tb and a 2tb WD drive. It has more than enough storage space to store my movies and serve as a Time Machine for my MacBook. Reformatting for a Mac was easy and I was using it within about 5 minutes. This one should last for a while!

    I bought this drive to back up each of my computers in my house as I upgraded them all to windows 10. The software was easy to install on each machine and backed up all required files flawlessly! The drive security is easy to set up and I plan to use this drive for long-term storage once all my windows 10 installs are complete!

    I have several backup drives but prefer the backup software that is packaged with the drive. Much better than Seagate's. This drive is out of the box ready, simply plug it in a USB 3 port and the setup software completes the rest. I chose this drive size as I image the 1 TB hard drive and keep the copy on this backup drive and still have more than enough room to backup all critical files for years to come.
