    This is easy to use external hard drive for Macbook. No set up was required, simply plug and copy and paste. I couldn't figure out time machine but since I only needed to back up documents and photos, that was not a problem.

    Drive works excellent right out of the box and is properly formatted for my Mac. I was able to easily and quickly enter Time Machine and begin backing up. Much simpler than my previous one that required a reformat before it worked with Mac. Grab it while it’s on sale!

    Best portable portable hard drive for my mac. It's light weight and quite. It holds a lot. 2TB worth. It is durable. I dropped it a couple of times and still works great. Plus, it is very small. I carry it in my purse and doesn't take up a lot of space.

    This device works - is efficient and does what it is suppose to do. There is no operating by me required. It stores last night's operations efficiently. No maintenance is required by me. Very nice. I had this device for 2 months. Works very well. Thank you.

    Got this as a back up drive for my Mac. Plugged it in, the computer immediately recognized it and they’ve been humming together ever since. Small size is easy to stash near the computer but out of the way. Not much to say-it does what it’s supposed to easily.

    Connected to a 2019 iMac for backup with Time Machine and storing larger documents. Connected with UBS C, looks fast enough for a hard drive and the type of content on it. I do not use the encryption features. The drive comes formatted HPFS+ which is compatible with older MacOs version. For Time Machine on latest MacOs version (Monterey), Apple recommends now formatting with APFS, which I did. In that case, you need to create an additional volume on the drive in you also want to store other files. Each volume grows on demand. Having Time Machine separated from other data file makes it much faster to "reinitialize" Time Machine backup if needed (deleting a Time Machine Folder on a shared HPFS+ drive can take days!).

    I now own 2 of these!! my back drives were getting out dated. It has an amazing speed when backing up on Time Machine backups. The new USB C port makes it even more fast and efficient.

    Works as intended. It was a little difficult finding out how to export files and such onto the device but once it was learned, things were smooth. Decent price as well.
