Fortunately had it backed up on another drive so didn't lose anything. Also didn't realize until after that there was no speed rating in the description - it is about half the speed of my other 3.0 drives and only achieves about 70 MB/sec at best; I have 2 Seagate backups that hit 150 so now am using this as my backup to a backup - nice small size to stash away from my home office area and speed doesn't matter so much when I just back up to it once every week or two. 3.5 stars would be more accurate.

- Reviewed in Canada on January 19, 2025Style: USB-C & USB 3.0Digital Storage Capacity: 2 TBColour : SilverVerified PurchaseI use a Mac and this hard drive is supposed to be compatible. I successfully uploaded a few GBs of photos twice. I plugged it in for the third time to transfer more files, but my computer is not recognizing the hard drive. I tried using a different cord and a different computer, but nothing. Looking online, it seems like this is a common problem - after a few uses, the hard drive will blink and not be readable. I'd return it but my photos are still on there... I can't access the drive to wipe them off, so I'm not sure what to do. It's suspicious. I do not recommend this harddrive if you want to keep your files safe.
