    I use this external drive to back up my iMac using Time Machine in the Apple OS. The drive required reformatting but has worked well for the intended purpose.

    This is my very first portable backup hard drive and it ran so much faster than I was expecting. About 40-50% of the transfer (200 GB) had a rate of 100 MBs. Incredible!

    Had to replace my old vista computer system and since windows 10 does not have easy transfer it made it easy to transfer all the files and music to the new computer

    X Box Storage Upgrade

    Bought this for my son's X Box One. Just plugged it in and formated done. Works great. The reason for four stars and not five, is the one negative. It has a proprietary USB cable. That means if the cable is lost or wears out have to order a special cable and not a slandered mini USB.

    I wanted quiet, small, and inexpensive. This fit the bill. I recommend it, but wait for a sale or something and you could probably get it a few $$ cheaper than I did.

    We use this for additional storage when recording movies on our Dish Network receiver, it added a lot more space for later playing back movies.
