The WD Discovery software allows you to set up auto backup options, password protection, import cloud images and documents for Facebook, Instragra, Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, etc.

The drive is an active hard drive (not SSD), powered through the USB cable no additional power cable is required. It comes formatted and ready to use and pre-loaded with WD Discovery software for Windows or Mac. It comes with a 15” USB C to USB C data/power cable as well as a USB C to USB 3 A adapter. This is a high capacity external hard drive. I'll post any updates if I encounter any problems down the line.

If I run out of storage again, this will be my go-to.
#Good backup drives for mac pro
Another pro about this external hard drive is that it is compatible with MacOS (a feature I noticed other products didn't tend to have for some reason-mine is currently running on 10.12 Sierra). The size is no bigger than my iPhone, and I've noticed no damage from the few drops it has endured since purchase (about 5, 3 foot drops over the past 4 months). One of the main reasons I got the rugged mini was because I am a college student and I knew I would be carrying this around often. I've read reviews saying back ups were lost, but I have had no issues with crashing or loss of data. It runs very smoothly, backs up my computer quickly, and has the space for all of my school work, imported footage, edited footage, and final projects. Other than SD cards and limited space USB drives, this is my first real external storage device, and I couldn't be happier. I've been using it for about 4 months now with absolutely no problems. My biggest worry was losing all of my essays, photographs, and short films, so I purchased the 1TB LaCie Rugged Mini. Importing footage used to be a nightmare, and I was constantly deleting apps for space. I rely heavily on my computer for online school as well as photography/filmmaking. I originally bought the LaCie hard drive because my MacBook was running out of storage.
