Add extra storage to your computer with this lightweight, portable drive from hp, the world’s largest and most trusted computer manufacturer. it offers flexible connectivity with usb 2.0 for compatibility today and usb 3.0 for performance tomorrow. high capacity in a compact design makes it easy to carry your important files with you anywhere.
I hope this review will be helpful for those wondering if the drive is Mac-compatible, since that isn't mentioned anywhere in the product description.
This drive was absolutely painless to set up... it's formatted for Windows, but reformatting for Mac is very simple. Plug it in, it pops up on your desktop. Go to Disk Utilities (utilities folder in Applications), choose the drive, then Mac from the drop-down format menu. It reformats the drive quickly and easily.
File transfer is very fast on my MacBook Pro, and it works seamlessly with Time Machine for backups (just choose it as your backup disk when you open the application). The fact that the drive is "future-ready" for USB 3.0 is also a big plus.
I own almost a dozen external drives. This drive simply beats them all: high capacity, fast, quiet, flawless execution. It is slightly larger than other travel/laptop external drives but the extra functionality is well worth it. It self installed without a problem and has worked perfectly ever since. It is a rocket compared to my other portable USB drives. This drive is almost a mandatory accessory to everyone who travels or has a laptop. You can keep all of your data backed up. You can now carry around huge multi-media files and run them directly from the drive. Fantastic drive for a low price.
