Performs as expected for Time Machine, sleek modern look matches well with iMac
It completed its first Time Machine backup very, very quickly. I'm using it with a "new" 2019 Intel iMac with a 256GB SSD, so 500GB is more than plenty for Time Machine.It looks nice and does what it's supposed to. Can't speak to the temperature of it while in operation because I don't hold the thing in my hands. I plugged it in, told Time Machine to use it and that was that.As others have said, the included cable is comically short unless you're using it with a Macbook or other laptop. I knew this going in and got a grey 3 foot AmazonBasics braided cable to go with it, which matches perfectly and works great with it. Not going to take off a star for the short cable, but c'mon WD, these things are kinda pricey and a longer included cable would have been nice.
