    Spent a couple of hours trying to download photos. Kept getting error message. Called Western Digital and after an hour doing tests at their direction, WD informed me that the WB was corrupted. This required another 2 hour drive back to Best Buy to return.

    Doesn’t work for all macs, sadly I finally used it after 30 days and it’s a paper weight. Maybe I should just stick to Amazon for future purchases.

    One minor bump and the drive was unreadable after less than a month of use. Would recommend another option if the drive will be mobile at all.
