    I backup almost a terabyte of pictures from my home computers, as task that took 2 hours using usb sticks at 32GB per/stick. The hard drive only took about 10 minutes to back up all my folders. Very impressed with the speed and it runs off the usb power, no need for extra power cables.

    so important to back up, back up, back up. Love that I can get some colors, makes it easy to grab the right one when backing up since I have multiple back ups

    Perfect for an external hard drive especially when there’s tons of space and you can free up your laptop of photos and videos you want no one to ever see her great for work but let me tell you video lockdown is amazing with this device

    Does not work great with Macs

    As far as I can tell Best Buy does not sell hard drives formatted originally for Macs. This one comes with software that supposedly makes it compatible but the format does not allow use with Time Machine for backups - the software solution is not satisfactory. I reformatted it for the Mac and it mostly works but often drops off recognition and does not get backed up or the system does not see it and I have to restart the computer to make it visible again. Very annoying. After this I bought two large Mac-native-formatted drives (from another company) and both of those work great. Will never again buy a hard drive that is not formatted specifically for Mac right out of the box. This one is nice and small and probably would be great for a PC but its performance with the Mac OS leaves much to be desired. Best Buy should stock drives specifically formatted for Macs since they sell the computers.

    Good drive to have for backing up my video projects. I still prefer editing on a smaller SSD, but this drive is quick enough to edit off of if needed. Transfer speeds aren’t great compared to SSD, but that is my only gripe.
