I found this product to work pretty well with my MacBook. I’m able to have well enough storage, and the drive stays tight and plugged in, which is an issue I’ve had with other drives in the past.

Pretty good so far, I got it for a production class as an external hard drive was required. The brand came recommended by others and I haven’t had any issues.

Cable is a little stiff so I tend to position the hard drive based on how the cable rests. Other than that great product so far.

I’ve had this drive about 2 months now. I’m using it with an M1 Mac Mini. I bought it as a cheaper alternative to SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs.I use it primarily with Lr, Ps and Pr. It’s actually so slow in rendering previews in Lr that I won’t buy another. It’s TB/$$ ratio is good but not if it’s frustrating.

I have not had an issue with this unit. I only store items with it so far. I will use it to work on my audio productions soon. I will see how fast it performs at that point.

I uploaded 2TB of data onto this hard drive as a backup which worked successfully. I went to plug the drive in again a few days later and couldn’t access the drive at all.
