Emulator Switching Disk Mac

Mac user switching back to windows, go Lenovo! Solid.

I use that disk as Time Machine for my Mac Pro. It Work very well

Switching from a Mac to PC, but I'll get to it. This unit is well built.

Within a few minutes of opening the box of this disk I was using it to backup my MAC using Time Machine. That was my main reason for purchasing it. I also, use it to back up my wife's MAC. There is a lot of chatter on the net about the constant RAID activity of this disk. That is just a characteristic of RAID and the fact that Time Machine is writing to the disk every hour by two MACs.

I use it for my Mac. I had to work at it to get FileVault to work with it on El Capitan - you need to reformat (no problem) and then partition, for which you need to go to the command line Disk Utility now. Not hard, just that Apple seems to want to dumb down the graphical Disk Utility. If you don't care about that, it works straight out of the box.

I wanted to reduce the number of files on my Mac and moved all my pictures and edits to the external hard drive. Even though the disk comes formatted for Mac or PC I would make sure you reformat the disk before use. The speed is great and have had no issues.

This one is perfect for Mac users, and very fast. You have to partition the disk and one works for time machine and the other half for your files to save space on your Mac. (I am not a window user so I wouldn't know how it works on a different system) Thank you B&H you are great. Fast, delivers and great support.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 4TB drive is compact and just want I needed to back up my old Mac. I plugged it into my new PowerBook, opened disk utility, and had it formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in about a minute. Since I have an old 2011 iMac, I needed to use the older file system. I also ran some speed tests with BMD disk speed test and it did well for a none-SSD (see attached photo). If you need an easy-to-use and portable drive, It is hard to beat WD.

Great disk for the price, Mac anyways doesn't support 2x2, so it has the perfect top speed for Mac devices. It's very small, cable is long enough so the disk can lie on the table when laptop is places on the stand. Most importantly it runs way cooler than SanDisk which gives an additional peace of mind.

Bought the Mac Mini in its base config for $499 and what can I say, it is a really price-worthy Mac. Yes, it probably has only a single flash chip and the disk performance will be poor, so if your day job is editing 4K videos you should buy a larger disk - but then you would probably need that anyway. As a desktop computer for normal office stuff this is just wonderful. Now, if Apple could convince itself that a USB port and a headphone/mic connector can live on the front...
