Question: I need an external hdd drive for my macbook pro to back up everything.  Is this what I need/want? looking for some comfortable earbuds for same w/mic
Document: I've had this little baby for a good amount of time now and have been waiting to review it until I had put it through some use. I have a new macbook pro retina display with a USB 3.0 port. When I was looking for a drive I could use for back up and also to take around with me I settled on this lil guy.
Just finished backing up a hefty hard-drive on a MacBook Pro with USB3 and i've got to say i'm impressed. So much faster than any other portable back up drive i've ever used. No complaints whatsoever. One suggestion to make this perfect... automate it so that you could plug it in and update only the files that had changed. A great drive for the price!
Great little external hard drive. I backed up my wife's iMac first night it arrived, and even with just a 2.0 USB port on the iMac to connect to it quickly backed up the entire drive in less than an hour. I backed up my new iMac the following night -- 35 minutes. Great value for the dollar. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick way to back up a Mac for way less than comparable Apple products cost.
My first impression of the physical quality of the hard drive is disappointment . Reviews described  a nice aluminum case however I've seen better metal containers for candy mints. My Macbook recognized it quickly and copied the folders that I dragged onto it. It disconnected within the first 30 seconds even though I was warned about this issue and felt that I was careful. Hopefully it will be reliable, based on other reviews,  but I plan to back-up this back-up.
I purchased this drive for use as a backup drive and for synchronizing files between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.The drive is amazingly small. It's silver casing allows it to fit in nicely with the silver of both computers. The included neoprene carrying case is a nice feature.When I plugged the drive into either computer it mounts instantly. File transfer speeds are blazing.I've got two minor issues with this drive:1) It has a proprietary USB cable (e.i.
I recently switched from a PC to a Mac and I needed an external hard drive to transfer files between both computers, This little shiny device did wonders! I just plugged it, followed the instructions(included) to format it so it could be used between PC and Macs and it worked like a charm! im completely satisfied. Also, the delivery was pretty fast! its a beautiful device, thin and looks great with my new Macbook Air.
. . . this is probably nitpicking, but am I the only one who thought the photo of the hand holding this miniscule 1 tb drive was displaying it's length rather than it's width?No matter, the drive is tiny by comparison to others and seems to do everything I expected. Works perfectly with my Macbook Air 11, and makes up for the Air's tiny ssd drive. It even looks nice with the tiny computer. A nice addition at a very nice price.
This little device works extremely well with a laptop because of its compact size. Also, I use it on a hub and it works equally well whether the USB hub is powered or not powered. It works so well that I ordered a second one so as to have sufficient back up. I have lost data in the past due to internal harddrive and even external harddrive failurre.
I purchased this back-up drive two weeks ago and it's already quit working. I've lost all of my data on it already and I doubt I will ever get it back. DON'T BUY IT!!! COMPLETE GARBAGE!!! I am very disappointed in this piece of garbage back-up drive. It's not a back-up drive it's a loose your data drive!
I love this external hard drive! It's small, light, fast. It can fit in a shirt pocket. I've had this for quite a while and it has worked flawlessly, it has been my iTunes drive till I filled it up. You can't go wrong with this drive. If you have USB 3 it's quick. I have drugged it with me everywhere with no problems.
Answer: Yes, I bought this drive a year ago and have been very happy with it.  Rather than use the software that came with it I did my backups manually, just the folders I wanted saved such as photos and documents.  I've updated it regularly and never had any issues other than the cord can easily come out of it so I suggest when you do a backup to place both your MacBook Pro and the drive on a table and leave them alone after the backup starts to take place.  I also make sure I have the power plugged in and have the screen set to remain on rather than hibernate so I can take a quick look to check the progress.
