## Description

Review: Excellent product support from the supplier - One big plus of this drive for me was that it works with a regular thunderbolt cable (the USB-C type), and not the proprietary cables that I’ve had to use with previous drives I’ve had. Unfortunately, the drive failed after a couple of months - Time Machine back-ups stopped! I tried re-formatting the drive but my iMac’s Disk First Aid would not complete this process - getting stuck every time on ‘creating the partition map’. So, why the five star review? Well, I got in touch with the supplier (via an desertcart link) and got an extraordinarily quick and helpful response with a number of suggested fixes, and a promise to replace the drive if they didn’t work. As it happened, one of the suggestions did work - re-formatting the drive in another Mac! It seems that the stricter USB initialisation protocols in newer Macs can occasionally cause drives to hang during initialisation. Of course, it would have been better if the drive hadn’t failed in the first place, but any hard drive you can buy has a risk of failure. The five stars are earned because of the exceptional after sales product support!
Review: Great value HDD. - Great external HDD, good value too. I had an issue when Windows formatted it and partitioned it, it was only showing 18MB. Got it sorted within a couple of minutes. Its a Windows issue not a hardware issue. If you have this problem do a search online and you'll find an easy fix for it. So after sorting that, it connected, formatted and was up and running in no time. Connects fine, its very quiet, good weight for the size. Had it two weeks so far with no issues.
