    I can’t really say because it didn’t work for my intended purpose. I figure it’s was me and or my equipment at fault.

    So far so good, I downgraded from a desktop to a notebook with an expandable hard drive. I hope it works for years to come.

    Don't purchase for Time Machine Backups

    I purchased this to do Time Machine backups on my MacBook Air running MacOS Ventura. When set up for backups, Time Machine formatted it APFS. The drive works, but will not spin down and shut off when ejected. Even after disappearing from Finder, there is disk activity on the drive and the LED is blinking. Neither WD nor Apple has a clue but if I reformat it as MacOS Extended I can copy files to and from it and it ejects every time without a problem. You cannot use MacOS Extended for Time Machine. It must be an APFS volume.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I typically buy western digital for storage devices. The oldest is 500GB, and over 15 years old, it still works. Bought this for the USB-c connectivity. Hope it hold up like the other 5 WD products i have.

    This device is fast for file transfer. It has a good capacity. I am not convinced that it was worth the higher cost compared to other similarly sized WD passports. The front looks like metal, but mostly the device is plastic.
