    When I purchased this, I needed something easy to use with my Mac at work. It is perfect, totally compatible, and helps me keep my video files saved and organized.

    I purchased this external drive to replace an older and smaller capacity drive. I use a MacBook Pro and needed this for backups. It was basically a plug-n-play installation.

    After previously trying another external and returning it for compatibility issues i decided to go with what works. Got this to store pictures on due to them taking up most of the space on my desktop.

    Had a Dell backed up to an external hard drive then bought an Apple. Couldn't understand why I couldn't use my existing hard drive with time machine or to save pics from my Apple. Did a little research and discovered that I would need to format the old hard drive to use with Apple but formatting would have erased all saved material. Therefore, purchased this. Plugged it in and that was it. Time Machine backs up everyday and can save all pics and videos from the Apple.

    My wife needed more picture storage for her woefully low-capacity Macbook.Air. We bought this external drive. The price was right, it works without issue, and needs no tech support from me.
