    I’ve had this for 3 yrs now and no issues whatsoever. I will say that I have always been careful to minimize how much I move it around so as to not accidentally damage the hard drive. Good product.

    This computer back up is used to be a last line of defense against my dropping or losing my Mac Air. I only plug it into my lap top once a week so it will keep all my files and pictures safe. It saids that it is keeping a good record of all my files. I hope I never have to rely on it to recover my information.

    Purchased the unit to provide backup for my iMac. This unit combined with the backup software Carbon Copy Cloner creates a bootable clone of my IMac. In the event of a hard drive failure I simply reboot from my Western Digital Passport and I am up and running in minutes!

    Works great with my MacBook Pro. I bought this unit, hooked it up and what do you know. The very next week my computer crashed and it was wiped clean. I retrieved every bit of my data. So I know it works...lol

    Have looked at several external hard drives and this one was best. We could choose what to back up...didn't have to backup everything on the computer. Easy to use and store.
