Review: great external hard drive - Can't say enough good things about this hard drive. The tech support on this is also fantastic. I purchased this to share between a couple of laptops and a projector. It turns out the projector can't see this device. Initially I had some issues with my Windows laptops to see this device. I talked to their tech support and they told me the drive is formatted for mac usage rather than windows so I had to run a partition util on windows to remove and resize partitions and than format the drive. After that I was able to use this in both USB and USB-C. The USB somewhat slower but worked great and USB-C worked well.
