Review: DO NOT BUY - This drive crashed out of the blue, after a year, used only 6 times for Time Machine back-up for my Mac book pro. Although I had a back up to this drive (crazy to need a back up to a back up but a must), unfortunately there was one extra folder that I had not backed up. Long story short.... it ultimately cost me $1200. to retrieve that folder (company in San Diego). There is absolutely no personal support from Western Digital. No one with whom to communicate. Their website is NOT friendly. One would think that a company selling digital hardware in the USA, would have a user friendly support website, but it does NOT. Different passwords for each different product, instructions poorly worded. After retrieving documents from the drive, I returned the drive to WD (to Calexico, on border with Mexico, 97 miles away from San Diego). In detailed report, I asked for monetary reimbursement. No response from WD. Today, I received a replacement drive and cable in a box, in the mail, no other paperwork. Its probably a refurbished drive. I do not trust this product. It will probably crash in short order. Be sure to back up anything you put on this drive. It is not to be trusted. I have spoken with many techs. This drive is not to be trusted. Review: Works great - indicator light is in the wrong place - This thing worked perfectly first time out of the box. Just plugged it in an backed up my I-Mac. I had several Seagate Drives fail on me recently and decided to change brands. The only beef I have with this unit is the indicator light is on the back of the unit where you plug it in.

I purchased one for $10 at my local computer store. **Q: Can I boot from this drive on a mac? In other words, is it bootable?** A: Yes, if you format the drive in Mac native format, and use a clone application like Bombich Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), the external drive should be bootable on your Mac. You have to have macOS copied over, for it to be bootable. You hold down the option key when booting, to get a boot device selection menu during the boot. **Q: Good to use with a crome pixelbook (chrome os) ?** A: The short answer is YES. You will need to format the external hard drive through your files (blue) folder. However, before doing that, connect the external drive to your USB port and try to save a file to the hard drive. If it works fine, then you don't need to reformat. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DO NOT BUY *by S***H on January 21, 2022* This drive crashed out of the blue, after a year, used only 6 times for Time Machine back-up for my Mac book pro.

With USB-C and USB 3.1 connectivity, it offers fast transfer speeds and easy plug-and-play use. Built-in backup software, password protection, and ransomware defense keep your files secure, while the sleek silver design complements any Mac setup.

I orders the 6TB to consolidate other smaller drives that had been formatted on MSFT so I can organize and delete on my new Mac.
