Not Mac compatible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return. Was not compatible with my iMac computer, even though WD says it is. It would not work as external hard drive (read-write). Would only "read" as a backup, could not "write" to the drive like a true external hard drive. I've went back to use LaCie drive for my Mac, still works the best for Mac.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendThe C cable does not fit the Mac Mini M2
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The C cable does not fit the Mac Mini M2. I wasted a lot of time trouble shooting this problem but the so called "Ultra for Mac" cannot click into the Mini C connector and will not power on. It can do it for the 2017 Mac but not the Mini M2!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendToo complicated to install right away..
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Also it does come with directions.. so you have to on line and find the info and the figure out how to apply it to your computer... even though it says it is for a Mac.. and the sales person implied one just needed to plug it in and follow the prompts of which there were none!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUSB C cable didn't fit due to QC issue.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The USB C cable would not fit into my Macbook, and I took it back due to a manufacture issue. THe replacement drive fid the same. Best Buy did right on this by exchanging it, and unfortunately the replacement drive had the same issue. I am not sure why, but the Windows based drives do not have this issue. Weird.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After spending a week loading things on it, it WOULD NOT MOUNT. I tired so many ways, did lots of research -- and still WOULD NOT MOUNT. I had to use an app just to see what was on it -- then I erased and am returning. Sucks.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Be wary of the fire wire connector on this model. I learned the hard way after the connector detached from the circuit board inside of the housing. I’m going through the painful process of third party data Recovery at a hefty price tag.
