Review on πŸ’Ύ Transcend Storejet 1TB Portable USB 3.0 Hard Disk (TS1TSJ25H3P) - Fast and Reliable External Storage Solution by Austin Wolf

Mac users should look out for external hard drives

For some reason this Transcend drive wouldn't work with my Mac. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the Mac to accept it for use as a Time Machine backup, so I just treated it like a giant USB drive and dragged all my files onto it. Not exactly what I intended to use the 1TB drive for. I don't know what the problem is. I have a Macbook Pro 13" 2016, a properly formatted Mac drive, and the Mac specifically told me I can't use it for Time Machine. I think I'll have to buy another Toshiba for that. Now I'm starting starting to think about my previous transcend cd, i have another one i bought to use as a time machine backup and it worked fine for a long time and then failed, i don't mean the hard drive failed is - the Mac no longer reads them as a Time Machine backup. I thought maybe it was because I added other files, but now I'm wondering if this isn't a ubiquitous problem with Macs and Transcend drives. Me wouldn't advise Mac users to buy this brand, Toshiba is pretty much the only brand I trust.
