Time Machine for an M1 Macbook Air
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently upgraded my wife's OS on her Macbook Air and the battery performance took a huge hit. After a few weeks of her complaining about it, I got this hard drive to make a backup and downgrade to the previous OS. This worked flawlessly to use with Time Machine to back up all her personal files and restore them after the downgrade. Now her battery performance is back to what it was before the upgrade and no files were lost in the process.

Useless
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this on the advise of the Apple store to be sure to back up my iMac ( 6 hours to do this) before bringing it in for repair. I did but the problem with the iMac concerned corrupt files so I was told NOT to restore from this external drive. I used time machine again but the electrical bower failed during the back up. When I tried to resume the error message said there were two files of the same name and ‘rename one’. In attempting to do so I may have erased both. I tried installing WD file. When I tried to backup using it it failed again. Therefore Its highest and best use is as a coffee cup coaster.

Not a fan
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, I can't even figure out how to use this. A little frustrated that it won't even stay plugged into my mac. I was told if I bought this one. I wouldn't have to format it...I did. It has been a nightmare and I can't even use my computer now.
