The required software (Logitech Options for Mac) that allows you to use all and customize the buttons does not work at all with at least the latest version of macOS Sonoma. Tried multiple fixes I found online. None of them work. Without the Logitech Options software the mouse is essentially limited to basic functions such as left and right click and the scroll wheel.

They are sneaky about this one. Read the fine print. They make it look like at first glance you are getting 4 months but you are only getting 3 months IF you are returning subscriber.
As for the service, well the bottom line is it nothing other than another tool for Apple to try to get you to buy things. The service is essentially worthless UNLESS you have a subscription. And if you cancel the service, all the content you "Liked" or downloaded disappears from your computer. So the question is what value does this service actually offer? It has only temporary value. You are not buying anything other than buying into another Apple product where you keep feeding their money machine. Google Premium for Music is a far better value. At least you can keep that music and videos.

You would think Apple would improve this mouse but they have not. Yeah, it kind of looks cool and you're thinking it will look great with my new expensive Mac, well, I urge you to reconsider. Yes, there are many positive reviews but come on folks, why? Why does this product deserve such high marks? 1. The mouse will not respond at all when you startup (not restart) your computer and need it to move the cursor over to the user profile for the account you want to log into. READ THAT AGAIN. There is something wrong with the Bluetooth connection. The mouse only works AFTER you use another mouse to select a profile and entered the password. (I troubleshooted this many ways, same result each time.) 2. Very uncomfortable and awkward to hold. 3. Skid plates are terrible. They are not slick at all. They do not easily glide on any surface even the most expensive you can buy mouse pad. 4. You can not use the mouse when it is recharging. You have to flip the mouse on its back to plug in a lightening cable. Guess that is Apple's way of telling you take a break for a few hours, you don't need or can work while the mouse recharges.
Life is too short to put up with crappy products like this. Walk away from it and buy another mouse. I like and found Logitech and Razer work well with any Mac and have NONE of the ridiculous problems that this mouse has.

Minimize movement and maximize comfort with ERGO M575—a wireless trackball with sculpted ergonomic shape. With no need to move your arm around to move the cursor, your hand and arm stay relaxed. Remarkably smooth and responsive cursor control works perfectly on any surface. Connect simply via Bluetooth Low Energy or the included USB receiver with a 33 ft (10 m) range.

Comfortable mouse. Build quality is a 6 out of 10. The build quality is what most would expect at this price point. My 2 star rating is based on two considerable issues I experienced. First and most importantly it is extremely hard to control to control the mouse cursor using your thumb if you have any amount of finger tremor. For example, if your hand shakes at all after having caffeine then you are going to have a miserable and frustrating time trying to control the mouse cursor. (Conversely, I found a trackball design that relies on the index finger is easier to use because you can use your index and second finger to control the cursor.) Secondly, I found the Bluetooth connection to be unreliable. The connection often stuttered or in some instances just stopped working. I am returning the mouse for these two main reasons.

I can sum up this product in one word…. Annoying. 1. Siri is not good. It often misunderstands what you ask it to do. 2. The Wi-Fi in this watch often glitches out whereas my other Apple and non-Apple tech gadgets do not. 3. Battery life is not that great. You can get a maximum of 1 day whereas Garmin and a few others lasts for days. 4. The product’s safety feature fails miserably because most people will take it off at night to charge it because it does not last longer than a day. Well, are you not very vulnerable to a fall in the middle of the night? What happens when you fall and are not wearing the watch because it is charging next to your bed? See what I mean? Utter safety failure. 5. The user interface is confusing. They have jammed in so many things onto a tiny screen that it makes navigating difficult. 6. Privacy focused text messaging apps like Telegram simply do not work with this product. I could never get Telegram to work right. I rely on Telegram for private communications with certain people. Your primary text message option must be Apple Messages. 7. Comfort. It is not very comfortable in comparison to my Garmin Forerunner which is so comfortable I often forget it is on my wrist. 8. Color. What is going on with these ugly colors? Can we not just get black? Nope. The closest thing to black is something called midnight which is really a very dark blue. Other color options are a feminine pinkish silver, dark red, dark green and midnight. Overall, this has to be one of the most disappointing Apple products I ever tried. I am definitely going to return it. My main reason for my return is the technology is unreliable, quirky, and plagued with glitches.

Best bang for your buck hands down. Great price. The 5400 RPM speed is ideal because it makes it as quiet as possible for a HDD and the slower speed allows it to last longer. Do not believe the hype about getting a faster speed HDD like a 7200 RPM. Faster speeds surely equals louder sounds and an expedited product life. I use the WD Blue 5400 in various sizes for storage drives in my computers and servers (that are not on all the time).

Durable case however it has some problems. The biggest problem I have with it is how it needs a large flat area to stand up. Look at the product photos. I gave it a try for a few months and I am tired of this design flaw. Should have noticed that before I bought it.

Will this drive work in a Blackarmor 440
I have the Black armor 440 NAS server. There have been multiple HHD failures on the seagate 2TB SATA 3 drives over the 3 years of service.. Will the WD Model: WDBMMA0020 work in this server as a replacement to the failing seagate and work beside the existing Barracuda drives.
Failures happen but to pay more for a drive such as this and expect: 1. It will last longer, 2. WD or the company will stand by their product, then this is not the right product or company. I have had so many horrible experiences with this drive in servers and computers that at this point I would never use or recommend it. Seagate might have some issues depending on the product but studies consistently show they are much more reliable. Another brand to consider is Toshiba. The west coast cloud backup service company Backblaze publishes yearly studies on drive failures used by their company. Google it for ideas for what specific products to buy. Avoid this product!

Can this hard Drive be installed on a server computer running Windows Server 2012 R2 ?
Yes, but I would never trust this particular WD product for anything important like a server because my experience has shown me it WILL fail. In fact, I am convinced from several bad experiences with this product that the failure rate is unacceptably high. Recommend Seagate instead.
