    Advertised for compatibility with all latest Mac models but I had to disconnect it already twice because it interferes with the normal functions of Safari and Mail. For instance today I had to use disk utility first aid to be able to return it to normal functionality. If it happens again it will have to go. My system is Sequoia 15.5 which is the latest upgrade.

    I had purchased for a Backup Drive for chunk of data that needed off from HD. It's been reliable so far. Speed could be better, but understandable.

    A fine hard drive for Mac

    The hard drive works exactly as I hoped it would, as I partitioned it and have half of it for Time Machine and the other half for hard backups and storage. My only complaint with it is that you have to download a special add-on for it to work with Time Machine. It's not a big deal in the long run, but it's a little strange that a hard drive with a USB-C plug requires additional content to work.
