    I purchase this drive because it was recommended by an associate. I feel like I should have purchased a 2TB drive instead to cover both of my laptops. The set up was very easy, I didn't have to do much at all except plug it in and say yes backing it up. However an apple associate had a better choice to back up my computer. I wish I spoke to him first especially if the hard drive gets dropped.

    Works fine, but frequently doesn't want to eject. Or if you've left it plugged in and you're comp goes to sleep you'll need to restart before you can read it.

    This external hard drive does an amazing job of backing up my Mac. One tip I should mention: you may need to momentarily turn off your anti-virus software in order to smoothly use this product.

    A little more initial work to connect. I am not a computer geek at all. So I tried the password and forgot it and had to erase everything. Luckily it was still new, so not many days were deleted. An easy process to delete. Don't do the password unless you remember it! There is no way out.
