    I bought 2 of these to back up an old iMac I am giving away. When I tried to format one of them it wouldn’t and then wouldn’t mount. Took it back for refund. The 2nd one formatted but stop backing up within 2 days of using it. I kept that one anyways as it had several backups on it now.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
