Easy to use, just not across platforms

"I am using the drive to store video files and transfer the same files from PC to Mac terminals. It is reliable for storage, but transfer can be frustrating since partitioning only dedicates 30 of the total 500GB to FAT32 and files on that drive are limited to 4GB each...." Read Full Review »

Great drive!

★★★☆☆

3.0

"This drive has worked for me since I bought it. It isn't the quietest drive, but it does the job. I have not had it a year, yet. So I don't have the same experience that the other users writing reviews have had. It does work as I expected, and I only use mine for Time Machine backups. "
