    Using drive for Time Machine back-ups. Faster and smaller than the 3TB Seagate unit it replaced. Excellent small unit. Does not have a stand, nor does it have non-skid external surfaces. Would purchase again.

    In the past, I have purchased several WD "books" and "clouds." None of them seem to be worth the time or effort. Whereas this jewel was immediately in the driver's seat.

    These passport drives are how I store all my media. I get them two at a time, and use one color for backup and one color for working. Always make a backup!
