    This purchase was the wrong one for my purpose, so I don't want to run it down; it was just not the right one, and I returned it.

    I tried to use it with my MacBook, I just couldn’t figure out how to get it to work, and online tutorials were no help. It may have been my ineptitude with computers, or the fact that my laptop was so full it wouldn’t operate properly.

    I am not sure if it is my computer or the hard drive but it throws "equipment failure" on occasion. I close out and restart and then it works.

    I had been using a large self powered external disk for backup. It was too darn big and noisy for my MacBook so I downsized while still having a large capacity. A much nicer, quieter, and faster external disk. So far I am liking the change.

    In looking for a second SSD I choose the Samsung 1TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive to back up important HIPAA files for my business. It works flawlessly and is extremely fast as well. We are very happy with this product.

    Bought this Passport for backup of our PC. I had a difficult time trying to install it. Ended up having the Geek Squad come set it up. They are amazing.
