[Bus Powered] It works just fine. Well, let’s see how time treat it. I’m very happy with the response. I got from the employees of BNH. They’ve always been good. I’ve been buying things from them for over 20 years. Thanks to all the staff. 5

[0.68 lb] I use two of these as cold backups at remote sites (irregularly cycled). Gets the job done! 5

[0.68 lb] Initially, the formatting process for Mac was a bit complicated. Once I was able to resolve that, it was smooth sailing! Lots of space and I love the white color. A great backup for all of your important files. I love it! 5

[0.68 lb] I continue to choose WD drives and avoid Seagate ones as across our clients' environments I've consistently seen much lower failure rates with WD drives. To work and fail as little as possible, that's all it needs to do. 5

[0.68 lb] I've been using these for a number of years as economical, small, light, and easy to move and store in other places backup devices. While they keep getting cheaper per byte (Duh!) year after year, the newest one has always seemed to write faster than the earlier one. This one is no different. The choice of colors also makes it easy to use a different color for the type of file being saved. 5
