I bought a 2020 13 inch MacBook Pro and it hardly has any space right out the box. I use this product as my primary source of memory and it runs smoothly. Decent price considering the options out there and it has a lot of power.

USB-C ready only because they threw in an adaptor

It works fine, and was easy to set up. It’s just cheesy that the USB-C / Mac version comes with an adaptor rather than a properly wired USB-C plug to make it USB-C ready. That tells me how this company rolls. Whatever other corners they cut, I’ll never know, but that’s an obvious indicator they probably did. Profit margin vs. reputation is every business’s challenge, and this company isn’t even concerned with making it obvious. Would recommend to a friend only because it actually works, and it’s one of the few that is Mac ready.

Needed an external hard drive for my new MacBook Pro. Using it for a Time Machine backup among other things. Plenty of room for anything else that I don’t necessarily need to keep on my MacBook.

Pros:
* Much smaller and lighter than expected.
* Easy to carry for extra on-the-go storage.
* Comes with both USB-A (standard) and USB-C cables.
* Pre-formatted for best use on a Mac (Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
Cons:
* Since it’s pre-formatted for the Mac, it can’t easily be used with other systems unless reformatted.
My Review:
I was genuinely surprised at how small and light this external hard drive is. I have the 2TB version and it is literally about 2/3 the size of my iPhone XS (although a tad thicker). I have an older Seagate hard drive that is thinner but it’s only 750GB and I trust my data to Western Digital a LOT more than I do to Seagate.
The drive has a standard USB-3 port and comes with two short cables; one has USB-A (the typical USB connector) and the other has a USB-C (the newer connector). There is a small white LED on the drive to tell you when it’s working, but otherwise it’s just a semi-stylish box that you can carry around to supplement your Mac’s storage.
For what it's worth - this drive won't work (as is) with a new iPad Pro running iOS 12.4 via USB-C. It may work with iOS 13 or if you re-format the drive, but out of the box it doesn't work with the latest iPad Pros.
It also comes with some software utilities that seem kinda nice. Not much else to say - fast, small, light, reliable, and easy to use.
