Rated 5 out of 5 by Scott from Great Backup Drive for Mac This is a great backup drive for the Mac. I had an issue with a different brand portable drive that was originally a PC formatted drive that I reformatted for Mac. I choose this drive because it had good reviews and was pre-formatted for Mac.

The drive is large enough for what I needed and was a fairly small enclosure. I really liked the USB-C connection. My Mac has USB 2.0 and 3.0, it worked great with my computer. This drive comes with both a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable. You dont need to purchase a separate USB cable to use this drive with the older USB format, and it works great with no issues.

Some drives dont come with the USB-C to USB-A cable, but this one does. I like that it will work with both the newer computers as well as my older 10 year old Mac. The drive has an activity light on the case, which I also like.

I used this drive to back up the files from a movie I just shot. I used one as both the 1st drive and as a backup drive. Copying to it was easy and fast.

Im pleased with my purchase. Rated 3 out of 5 by Charles from 3.5/5 but a couple things The drive works well, but there are a couple of things I would fix.
