Seagate also warns that if you want to use this drive with the Mac Time Machine backup feature, then you'll need to reformat it with the correct file system - it comes with exFAT by default.

One potential downside with this external hard drive is the need for it to be connected to a power source, other than the computer. This is good if you want to avoid abrupt shutdowns by your computer, but some people may find it inconvenient.

The hard drive is well regarded with over 4.2 stars out of 5 score based on over 1,500 reviews. This product is also shipped and sold directly from Amazon.com, so you won't have to deal with third-party sellers. If you don't like it after ordering, you can replace or refund it within 30 days.
