Overview
Mac users get a sleek aluminum portable drive that plugs straight into USB-C and works with Thunderbolt and older USB ports too. Both cable types come in the box for newer and older computers.
Out-of-the-box Mac formatting and two cables make it an easy backup drive for a MacBook. As a hard disk, it trails SSDs on speed and shock tolerance.
Who it's for
MacBook owners backing up photos and documents get a matching aluminum drive with both cable types. Video editors working directly off the drive should look at an SSD.
Pros and cons
- Plugs straight into USB-C
- Both cable types included
- Mac ready out of the box
- Hard drive speeds only
- Needs reformat for Windows
Performance notes
Transfer speed is set by the spinning hard disk, which suits backups more than live editing. USB-C and Thunderbolt ports run it at full speed, while older ports via the USB-A cable stay compatible.
