    Excellent for Time Machine backups. Extremely easy setup and fairly good read/write speeds for an SSD! For Apple users, I'd highly recommend setting this up as an Encrypted drive if you're using it for Time Machine - that way you can easily store encrypted backups on it, whereas Time Machine will encrypt every snapshot manually if the hard drive is unencrypted.
