It works as described. The main reason I bought this item was the hard metallic case: it feels very strong which is great. It's a USB 3.0 device hence it's pretty fast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It works as expected - for this I am very happy.
You can also download an app and see who is/was connected to this device, and block devices that you don't recognize - for this I am very excited.

I use it to backup a Mac system, and to store pictures that you can access from both a Mac and a PC. The price is great, the speed is great, and the capacity is great. On top of it you can encrypt using the software it comes with, and only you can access those encrypted files. Again, this password protection works on both Mac and PC - which is why I am so excited about it.
I already have three of them (bought them at different dates, hence they have different sizes), all USB 3.0 and they are all great.

Great quality screen, fast, and very lightweight. Be prepared to "google" on how to do things on a Mac if you never used one before. Some things work differently on a Mac than on a Windows/Linux machine.

At first I used the phone as a smartphone and it was rather slow. The battery could not hold a full day of charge - lots of apps were updating and this used a lot of battery power.
Once I removed all the unnecessary apps. and only use the phone as a regular phone, the battery lasts 2-3 days easily.
My 2 cents: It is worth the price but do not expect much more.

Not a bad product, but I wish it had a better lane assist. The lane assist in this product is very similar to the one I have in another Garmin GPS that I own now for a few years. Garmin is still my favorite GPS manufacturer.

If this is reformatted for MAC and files uploaded from a MAC, can those files be viewed from a PC?

I don't think so. At least I could not. So I reformatted the drive so it can be used with both Mac and PC.
