So far, so good…Quiet, too.

Seems like a nice drive, so far. Very quiet. Powers down when not in use. I think I had to re-format this using Apple's Disk Utility for it to work with my Mac.

Reasonably priced backup drive

Works just as expected, out of the box, with my Windows PC.

Nice Drive, Great price!

I'm very happy with the drive - I'm using it with a Mac mini and time capsule to back up my audio work. Reformatting for mac was a piace of cake. USB 3.0 is plenty fast for my needs as well. I've bought a number of items from Adorama over the years and have always had a good experience. Thanks!

Windows Only!

This Drive is for Windows only, it will not work for a Mac! I wish Adorama could have specified that a little more clearly in the description!

The perfect backup!

I really needed a backup drive with a lot of storage. Adorama offered this one at a great price and delivered it in 2 days. Amazing. Thanks.
