    The actual hard drive is great. The adapter for usb into Mac already doesn’t work, however.

    I went back and forth on whether to purchase this because I haven't had the best of luck with WD hard drives. Well, this one is doing the same. It started out working really well and now it's not working properly. Ive got to get mob files transferred before it crashes completely. Im in the market for a better, durable brand.

    Only have it one star because you don't have a 0 star. I tried to get it to work to transfer some receipts and photos on my phone. NEVER WORKED!!!!! I tried again today and still DIDN'T WORK. I didn't know that there was a time limit for a item that was worthless. Infuriated ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

    I learned my lesson the hard way. I have always had great success with WD external drives, but I bought a competitor's drive because it was cheap. It failed, and now I know why it was cheap. Stick with WD
