Otherwise, it's a great size, shape, and weight. I love that I can throw a copy of my entire hard drive in my bag. I'm a bit nutty about backups, so I only carry it with me when I leave the house and if I DON'T have my laptop with me. I keep my other external hard drive (the 3.0 version) in a safety deposit box at the bank. And I switch them every few weeks. You'd think I had the Fed Reserve records or the nuclear launch codes.
My only frustration is that the connection between the cable and the hard drive itself is not as stable as the USB connection. If the hard drive is jostled, the cable often disconnects completely from the hard drive, or it shifts just enough to trigger the laptop to give you that dreaded error message about the disk being improperly disconnected without being ejected first. Otherwise, this thing is great.
I use this one for three purposes, (1) it records live sessions directly from an Allen and Heath soundboard, (2) Time Machine backups of my mobile workstation, and (3) secondary partition for storage and transfers. It does all three like a champ.
Pros:
- Solid case: the plastic is very ridged and sturdy.
- Single cable design: one USB cable supplies data and power connectivity.
- Designed to compliment a Mac: I'm just being a nerd here. The white activity light is a nice touch, and break away from the typical green activity light.
- Time Machine gets alone with it very well.
- Speedy transfer times. Keep in mind this is a platter drive, not solid state, and it spins at 5400 rpm, so don't expect too much. It is still very fast in reads and writes.
- Runs very cool, even when recording long sessions.
Cons:
- Just because it says "for Mac" should not be an excuse to drive the price up $20-30. Let's move past the 90s, m'kay?
- It comes pre-loaded with Western Digital crapware. Nuke it and reclaim a few megs. Again, let's move past the 90s, m'kay?
- It doesn't come with a case. (I bought this one, and it fits perfect Case Logic QHDC-101 Portable EVA Hard Drive Case (Black) )
Okay, quit reading the review and go buy one. You'll be very happy with it! As for my comment about it costing more since it's specifically for Macs, there is a reason to my madness. Even though it is the exact same as the not-made-for-Mac drive, this one has Apple's approval (it's sold in the Apple Stores). This means that if you have Time Machine issues or NAS issues when connecting to an Airport Extreme, Apple cannot claim that the problem is being caused by a non-Mac-ready device, which means they can't support it. I've been down that road once, and it wasn't pretty.
