I bought this external hard drive for my mother who is elderly and has some technological challenges. She just bought a new MacBook Air and needed a new external hard drive for use with Time Machine. I sent her this hard drive home and the delivery was fast. My mom was able to just plug the drive into the USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 hub (Thunderbolt 3) I gave her, then plug it into her MacBook Air and get started. The hard drive works fine even with a daisy chain of cables. The look is sleek and matches silver Macs, which is nice if you're into that sort of thing. Overall I am very happy with this purchase as long as it continues to perform as intended. A few notes: My mother is very careful with her belongings, so I didn't see the need to spend extra money on an SSD. It's a conventional hard drive, so it spins. If you drop your hard drives, consider an SSD so you don't get bricked. However, they are more expensive. LaCie is the brand Apple uses for its internally sold external drives. As far as my mother could tell, the packaging was genuine and it was a purchase of a genuine LaCie product.
