Everything is as I expected
Practical, good capacity for photos
The configuration with Macbook pro deserves attention (but I am a beginner on Mac)
The My book must be reformatted under Mac OS, but nothing complicated. On the other hand, if you previously had another disk for TimeMachine, you have to check this one for the automatic backup to work.
I would have liked a small light indicating if the disk is working or not, but it's minor...
This My Book replaces a tired WD predecessor that has been running non stop for 5 years of intensive use. And the USB 3 changes the game completely ;) I'm confident in buying it, like all the other WD products, in Green as well as in Red
Spacious, elegant design, small, discreet and self-contained. A good office companion.
